    Re: Question about US law – choke vs shove

    Yeah, be nice if it never happened, but sometimes you can’t avoid it.
    Asked my instructor – he’s an ex cop – said you don’t know what the bad guy’s going to do, so deal with it appropriately and basically do whatever you need to do to protect yourself.

    Re: Hello……

    Krav Maga – you won’t be disappointed. I’ve done TKD and Aikido. In the first class of KM, i think i learned more than with 5 weeks of aikido, where they teach you to dance and it’s mostly staged. Plus you’ll know you’re getting a workout in KM in the first 20 mins. The aim is to teach you to get the fight over in about 3 seconds or less. You’ll get the best in KM from karate, jie jitzu, judo, and down and dirty street fighting, all combined in KM, plus you’ll be in kick ass shape. Good luck, semper fi and semper paratus.

    Re: What did you do in Krav Maga class today?

    5th class. The standard 20 mins of pu’s, jumping jacks, the plank for 2 mins, more pu’s, left, right, left jabs, elbow, knee , knee, sprawl – workout on tombstone and some more.

    Then 3 techniques
    1) mounted while on the ground from ground position, we learned if he has his arms on our chest to trap at least one of them, then shrimp and swing leg over his head and do an arm bar on him. If he tries to hit you first, hips up in a buck, which causes him to lose his balance and puts both hands in front and down by your head – which leads to the next technique.

    2) HIs hands down and by your shoulders or neck, you turn to the side and grab one of his wrists, then you take your other arm and lock around that same arm, then arch your back and straighten out and you do a Kumura on him.

    3) We learned our first Judo type technique. He’s front choking you, so you pull his hand away and out with left hand, twist to the left and come under his other arm with a face palm to his face, while stepping forward with left foot and advance with right, swinging right foot back behind his leg and coming back in a sweep of his calf, sweeping his leg out and you put him down with that Judo sweep. Our instructor also has black belt in Judo and blue belt in Braz. Jiu Jitzu. bow1

    Re: Movies?

    Just saw the movie, Jack Reacher, a little slow in parts, but picks up and is worth seeing. Seems the character Jack, played by Tom Cruise does indeed use some Krag Maga in that street fight, against five opponents. (his only mistake, in the acting, Reacher, aka Cruise, took his eyes off his main opponent for a second right before the fight commenced.)

    Re: The ISH sound when striking

    eesh, yeah, that’s it. Didn’t know how to spell it.

    vid funny as heck. “You didn’t attack me correctly”
    “You didn’t keep your elbow straight when you attacked”
    “I sparred with Elvis”
    When I was taking a different ‘art’, there were many remarks like these.

    Thanks for the vid, Don, especially the Bas Rutten. I kinda like the “BOOM”

    Re: What did you do in Krav Maga class today?

    My 2nd class of KM. I’m quite out of shape – for the so called warm up, 25 jumping jacks, 25 pushups, then ran a big circle around the gym while at any time the instructor could yell out, SPRAWL! where we went down to a sprawl like Royce Gracie was about to shoot on us, then jumped back up, ran, he would call out sprint, where we’d 40 yard dash, SPRAWL, as Ken Shamrock was about to put us down, jump up, run, run, dash. Then squats, 10 fast ones, SPRAWL, as Dan Severn was about to shoot in on us. By this time I thought about 40 mins had gone by but upon looking at the clock, only 10. Then we planked, resting on our forearms while holding a pushup stance for an ungodly 2 mins. Another exercise or two, I forgot as my brain was panting for oxygen.

    After 20 mins of aerobic hell, we started the combinations:

    1) front snap kick, left, right jabs, elbow, knee, knee, SPRAWL! for a full minute, until I was looking to see if I could make a dash for the front door before he yelled sprawl again.

    2) Gun in back disarm. Turn left as left arm swings low and back, trapping his gun, right hand on his neck for control after a well placed elbow to his head. Couple of knees to his midsection to distract him, the grab the end of the gun and crank it out of his hand, then jamming it like a hammer fist to his head again, back off, palm butt to make sure the clip is in, rack it to make sure a round is in chamber, backing off and checking 360 to make sure no other incoming buddies of his. SPRAWL! (I’m not kidding) get up quickly, then throw the gun down and let partner do it.

    25 more pushups to stay jacked up – I was the last one finishing this. Then the stress test toward the end which was back to the combos, front low snap kick, left, right, elbow, knee, knee, sprawl, doing this for close to what seemed an eternity again, actually only a minute, when suddenly someone sneaks up from behind you with the gun again and jams it in your back, so you spin left, etc and disarm him/her again.

    With a minute left in the hour we all got in a circle, he brags on us a little and then everyone high 5’s everyone else and we’re through.

    That’s to the best of my recollection, though I may have left out a thing or two due to more oxygen deprivation at 6000 feet elevation.

    Our instructor’s been to Israel to train with the Wingate guys and throws in a lot of their stuff.

    As I limp toward the door, glad to be finished, I’m totally worn out but pumped and on a high. :woohoo:
