#50: Danae Hudson - Trauma Informed Krav Maga
Danae Hudson (Co-owner of Valley Self-Defense, Civilian, and Kids Instructor) has been training in Krav Maga for 4 years. Danae was looking for a self-defense class after some traumatic experiences in her life and work in the Middle East. Though she only planned on attending for a few weeks, the community she found at Krav Maga Minneapolis and Valley Self Defense, as well as the confidence she gained from Krav Maga, kept her coming back. Danae teaches civilian classes at Valley Self Defense, as well as helping with Kids and Women's classes and workshops.
Danae and Georgia discuss:
- How Valley Self Defense became trauma informed
- How trauma informed krav maga is different to traditional krav maga
- Gun safety

Thank you so much to Nari for the beautiful song "Shape Me" heard at the beginning and end of this episode. Nari wrote this song about Shape Your Life, a boxing program for self-identified female survivors of violence in Canada. She wrote this song using the words and experiences shared by participants with Cathy Van Ingen. You can find out more about Shape Your Life in my interview with Cathy in Episode 8.
