My trial class

[glenngordon]

Old Krav Dude,

Not sure if you are referring to my post, but I'm not \"jumping\" on curious...Yet. I agree that the questions were very valid. What didn't sit well with me was the conclusion that Curious came to about our organization after some brief activity on this Forum.

..\" have been choked in the past by someone with the intent of harming me. I was shaken and pushed back until I tripped. The way I choked my partner in the trial class was without the speed and ferocity I faced...\"


You want to learn to play the piano,so you go to a concert pianist who you see playing a very complicated piece of music.\"I want to play like that\",you say.

He starts to teach you the basic chords,& you are frustrated.\"Good piano-playing isn't like this in real life.I'd feel like a baby playing like this with someone else.\"

He replies,\"Learn the basic chords.when you can comfortably move through them;i'll introduce some interesting variations that will impress the audience.\"

Same with learning self-defense techniques.

By the way.If you are paired with another beginner,you shouldn't be flying through chokes,punchs,or throws.It isn't fair to your partner.He/she needs to develop confidence in performing basic techniques.That can't be done if your partner goes overboard in the attack.
