3 days eating the mat and punching bags… in review

Very good week of training last week, I attended Krav Maga for two nights, followed by my second BJJ class on Thursday. The week started off easy enough on Tuesday where we covered techniques against low punches to the stomach and defence against a straight stabbing knife attack. On Wednesday we had a very large [...]

The THUMBS!

Monday nights class was great, after a two week break from training mainly due to work commitments, I returned to a new training schedule and a revamped gym! fantastic. The cool part is that we now have a Brazillian Jiu Jitsu class on Thursday nights! This will be a great addition to training as Golan [...]

P1 Prep

Lately we’ve been doing a lot of preperation for our P1 grading coming up at the end of this month…next week in fact. Its kind of a big deal for the school as a prominant guy from IKMF (International Krav Maga Federation) Tamir Gilad as well as several students from other schools are coming to [...]

Choke ‘em out or get kicked in the nuts!

Desperate situations call for desperate measures and being choked by some frog eyed goon is certainly a desperate situation. Lord knows what that pervert is going to do to your limp body once you’ve fallen unconscious after said choke. My friend Mike who for the record is not a sexual terrorist who likes to choke [...]

Boxing 101: Float like piano, sting like a brick

So last nights class was all about Boxing! Well the basics anyway, It was really, really good fun. Ever since I first saw Ivan Drago or Mr.T put the moves on Rocky Balboa I’ve always wanted to give it a try although I am still slightly wary of turning into a mumbling vegetable. Poo Pooed [...]

Krav Maga Gun and Knife defence

I came across this video that was shown on the discovery channel, it shows some Commando Krav Maga in action. I automatically assumed that term ‘commando’ means without pants, so if your into beating the crap out of people with their own shoes and you don’t wear undies then this is probably for you. Pretty [...]

360 degree defence and how to not get stabbed with a pointy rubber knife

On the basis of how much i enjoyed last weeks class, I paid up for a whole month of beatings at the KM school JOY! and to be honest I really wasn’t expecting to be covering anything nearly as exciting as knife defence techniques on only my second lesson at the school.
So, this weeks warm [...]
