Re: Hello from Minnesota
I used to go there. Make sure you check out Derwin’s beginners class. He is an awesome teacher.
Re: Anyone else having trouble reading the forum?
Now as soon as I try to access the forum I am taken to an error message. Had to enter thru Google.
Re: Knife
Aren’t there better SD options than a knife? I would think a collapsing baton, monkey’s fist or some kind of spray would be preferable. Just my opinion.
Re: Bad Sparring
Wow, does this ever hit close to home. I quit training in Krav Maga because our instructors started letting anyone into sparring class. Inexperience(helpless or careless) TKD students who had never taken a Krav class and wanted to practice head kicks and, worst of all, MMA guys who were actually training for fights.
Re: Training Partner in Twin Cities area
Just throwing it out there. Nothing ventured……..
I love Krav unfortunately I fell out of love with the school I was attending and refuse to spend my money there any longer.Re: Groin Kicks is all there is
I will just never understand why people who think MMA is superior to Krav Maga don’t just hang out on MMA sites. When I see threads like this I go back and forth being amused and then annoyed.
We have a MMA fighter who spars in our Krav Maga class(at least he was when I still went to the local school.) His kick boxing/MT skills were much better than mine but he couldn’t protect his groin and I could land kicks pretty much at will.
Now I feel that I could protect myself from just about anyone but I only have about 60 seconds to end the fight. After that my daughter could probably take me. Lucky for me most fights don’t last 30 seconds.
And for what it’s worth, only IDIOTS would go for a KO in training.
Re: Groin Kicks is all there is
ITT we learn that people trained in MMA turn to lives of crime and attack people in the streets.
BAN MMA!!!
Re: Kicked out of class – justified?
Try the other school, it probably broke off because he didn’t like how your present school was run. I just found out that KMW has some kind of presence in this area. Maybe I can get back into Krav. It’s been almost a year and I miss it terribly, just not enough to go back to where my business is taken for granted.
Re: Kicked out of class – justified?
Is there another Krav schook in your area? If so, run don’t walk to it.
Unfortunately, my Krav Maga training is likely over due to a somewhat similar situation.For the many years I attended classes, our instructors would act ridiculously(in my opinion) for a month of two after the Israeli’s from the IKMF came to visit. They majority of students were grad students or middle aged guys like me who stumbled upon Krav Maga and fell in love with it as not only self defense but as a great way to keep in shape and also a great social atmosphere. We were all of a sudden expected to be Sayeret 13.
I returned from an injury and during my first couple of sparring classes I was paired with young guys who didn’t understand the concept of sparring. They were literally trying to hit and kick with force enough to injure. Also, all of a sudden, people who were training for MMA bouts were allowed into our sparring classes. Lastly, after years of attending, I felt like my business was no longer appreciated.
You may be a student, but don’t forget that you are first and foremost a customer. You are paying for classes.
I wish I had another option. IKMF is the only game in town for me.
Re: Passed my L2 test!
Could someone correlate the Levels with Belt Colors or the IKMF/KMG Badge system?
Re: Anyone have experience with Bulgarian Bag?
I have a SKLZ sandbag(less expensive version of Ultimate Sandbag) and a homemade version at a bigger size. I haven’t used a Bulgarian Bag but the BJJ instructor at my former KM school used one all the time. I love the sandbag work. Really improved my balance.
Re: Studio’s Legitimacy
quote Crimson Lord:I’ve only attended one class and he gave plenty of attention to each student. He showed us how and why a technique works. He did put a good amount of pressure on the students as well. I think I’ll stick with it a little longer to figure things out, but thanks for the feedback.Wow, I would love to go there. My school changed so much that I quit going.
