Really Bizarre Krav Maga Videos…

‘Get Back, Stay Back’ is a fashion story with a difference, combining self-defence how-to with high fashion starring model Lara Stone. Trained in Krav Maga, a self-defence system used by the Israeli Defence Forces, Stone demonstrates to women everywhere how to defend yourself against would-be assailants, whilst wearing high fashion.

The concept sounds silly, the videos look bizarre, but here’s the thing: The information in these videos is actually really good!

See all the videos on YouTube and the official site. Also check out the interviews with Jonathan Bullock and Magda Nikitczuk of the Institute of Krav Maga UK.
