Krav Maga: Barbarism to some, but to me, the sweetest science
This system has been a part of my life for about 7 years now. It quickly became my passion and, by today, my full-time occupation. My proficiency with it permeates our daily lives. It provides security, a higher level of awareness when I feel threatened. Through my students, I achieve success day after day; I enjoy developing them, and I proudly watch as they break down their own walls, recognizing how much more is within them than they ever imagined. They become complete, whole, and this transcends brutality. This is the most beautiful dance, to understand each other in combat, and most importantly, ourselves. Just like in a game, our true selves shine through even as winners. And when my own students overcome the desire to simply win and instead want to win in the right way, that’s when they step out of the everyday and become warriors. This is what they want: to win with strength, skill, and preparedness when they step onto my mat.

Here’s a little taste in a few photos from the local sports gala this past weekend, with some of my students:

Welcome to our little virtual corner! I’m a single mother raising my wonderful son, Ruben, who has grown into a remarkable teenager. For years, I was the sole breadwinner as a Krav Maga instructor, balancing the challenges of parenthood and work on my own. When Ruben started kindergarten, I embarked on a new journey by studying healthcare management at Semmelweis University, specializing in health tourism management. After graduating, I began working in my field and experienced firsthand the tragic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic while serving as a healthcare manager in a state hospital. As the pandemic subsided, I transitioned into private healthcare, where I currently work as a practice manager. Meanwhile, our family moved from a small town to Vác, a charming historic Danube riverside city near Budapest. Here, we embrace the everyday moments and joys of life together. If you want to hear more stories about us, you’re warmly invited to visit the original Daysonpaper blog at S&Ru’s Diary on daysonpaper.blog.hu. So I decided to try living for a year on an international stage and see if there are other mothers in similar shoes for whom this diary could be a support on the harder days—just as it has been a support for me when I was able to look beyond the difficulties and sincerely believe in my own strength. Thank you for stopping by!
