There are a number of essential skills within a well-balanced Krav Maga fitness program that you will need to incorporate into your training and practice. These skills — balance, speed, coordination, power, agility, and reaction time — are all universally important components of almost any athletic activity. The well-rounded professional athlete maintains a high level of proficiency in all of these skills. This proficiency of skill-related components is why a gymnast is able to pick up an activity such as ice-skating much faster than an individual without any prior skill-related training.
