New York Krav Maga instructor, Katrina Kothe said, "Krav Maga can help women attain new athletic goals, increase muscle definition, self-confidence and mind/body coordination as well as assist in stress reduction.” This benefit to women was best exemplified in Jennifer Lopez’s 2002 film, Enough, wherein she learned the technique to protect herself from her abusive husband. Although San Diego Krav Maga is popular for its aggressiveness and forceful techniques, women should therefore not be intimidated on integrating it with their workout. This training is a great exercise as it offers many health benefits, maintains physical shape, and teaches self-defense as well.
