Krav Seminar

A baptism of fire ensued as i attended my first official Krav Maga lesson today. It was a workshop design to warm up the Kravists ( that is actually a word you know!) before their grading in the afternoon.

ONe thing you notice about the Krav guys is all the different shapes and sizes of people you get. There are a few hyper fit looking guys but most are about average build and not particularly athletic looking. Admittedly it means less in this art but you'd think that with having such a dedicated following there would be some more fanatical on thier fitness.

We did quite a few drills in the two hours we were there but all of which were very basic. Thats not the say they were in effective, anything but, they were very simple to learn and easy to recall. The defence from strangles and chokes was particularly good and despite the number of groin strikes and the size of my partner i thoroughly enjoyed all of it and am currently going through a 'krav buzz' where along with u tube and books i'm attempting to increase my knowledge and find new drills to learn and warm up with. I wish to say a big thans to the Guys at Krav Systems for making us feel so welcome.

oh yeah and so bruised as well ;-)
