15: Krav Maga and a Nervous System that feels Safe
Manage episode 432901698 series 3567108
Our host and action actress Cindy Claes has been on an intense Krav Maga (self-defense) journey. Initially training to perfect her fighting skills for the camera, it soon evolved into a transformative experience of emotional resilience. Many questions started to arise. She experienced tears in the training sessions, as well as a huge amount of love.
Join our conversation with Sergej Krivoruchko as we unravel the profound and unexpected connections between his Krav Maga journey and his new life in Bulgaria: a quest of calming the nervous system. How can Krav Maga and self-defense go beyond physical safety to become a journey of emotional healing and personal growth?
Sergej, founder of Authentic Bulgaria, shares his compelling story of finding security and safety within, first through Krav Maga and then by moving to Bulgaria. After running a Krav Maga club in Knokke, he left the busy bubbling cities of Belgium (or the concrete jungles as he calls it), and is now on a mission to create safe environments by taking people on tours in the wonders of Bulgaria.
Our conversation focuses on the calming of the nervous system, the finding of a community we belong to, and our body sensations when getting out of our comfort zones. Krav Maga and Sergej's new life in Bulgaria share this importance of needing to feel secure both physically and emotionally. Sergej's journey of belonging in a new society is a very special and mindful one.
