Part 9 - Third Party Protection

One of the most unique aspects of Krav Maga is that we are not really a “self defense” program, but one that equally focuses on defense of others. The two big buckets are Third Party Protection and Bystander Intervention.

Third Party Protection is roughly defined as “protecting others that you know or care for.” While Bystander Intervention is roughly defined as “protecting others you do not know.” The distinction is important because you are much more likely to find yourself protecting someone you care for, while protecting others in bystander intervention scenarios are much less likely. Research the bystander effect for more information on that.
