Krav Maga

So last month I got back from New York and managed to make it to class a few times but not as much as I’d have liked. This month I’m going to be going at least twice a week in preparation for the next grading where I’ll be going for P3. I’ve covered most of the material on the syllabus which includes techniques such as releases from bear hugs, more chokes on the ground and so on. One area I haven’t covered yet is the use of sticks for attacking and defending which should be fun. I understand from research that use of small sticks was an integral part of ‘kapap’ training which predates krav maga in the Israeli systems. I’ve also got myself a proper bench and weights for at home as I’m frankly sick of the gym so February is going to be a great month for me! I’ve also ordered some boxing gloves and a mouth guard from the new krav maga shop that the Institute have opened. This means I can start doing more sparring at class which will be cool.

In the next couple of posts I’m going to put up a lot of the video podcasts that have been issued in the past in case you haven’t seen them and talk through some of the issues in them.
