Re: Third party (family, not VIP!) protection
Of course, having everybody trained in Krav Maga would be the ideal solution. Not always viable though!
Re: San Diego to Seattle. Where to train?
I trained with Chris and Nick in Bellevue a few years ago and really liked it — I would highly recommend their school!
Re: International Seminar with Darren Levine in Europe
I couldn’t agree more. It was a fantastic weekend. Darren Levine is a great instructor, the seminar was fast paced and covered lots of advanced techniques. I’m very glad I went and hope to get a chance to train with Darren again. Thanks to Marc Stoltz, Jennifer Carat and the rest of Kick You Fit in Luxembourg, and of course Thierry and Larissa Viatour of Krav Maga Worldwide Europe, to make it happen!
Re: Interesting Info on Vertical Fists
Interesting indeed. We do teach “vertical” punches but students often ask me why. I tell them what is effectively a short summary of this article–will be good to point out some of the history. Thanks for posting!
Re: Shoes, No Shoes… Too Much Traction
Most martial arts sell “martial arts” or “budo” shoes, which have very little to no traction on the sole. I find them to be very good for Krav Maga.
Re: Stick defences on the ground?
Thanks for the responses, guys. Will have to play around with it (we’re planning a stick seminar for October, would like to incorporate some of this). Kirsten, did you try it out? Any conclusions/further suggestions?
Thanks!
Re: Which long (training) gun?

Re: Which long (training) gun?
quote CJs Dad:Hi Ed,Might I also suggest if you go with the AR/AK taking a dremel tool to the sharper edges including the site. All my personal training weapons are shaved and have rounded corners. The wooden dowel is great for teaching large classes when first starting out.
With the large clips on the machine guns during the transition it is easy to swipe it across the torso and give a nasty gash from the clips sharp edge. Grinding the corners solves this issue.
Safety in training!
Thanks for the recommendation. I’m not sure I’d have the heart to start dremeling to my shiny new Colt 🙂 I’ll have to keep it shiny for at least a week first 🙂
Re: Which long (training) gun?
quote Kirsten:Check out http://www.copsplus.com they ship outside the US and often have free shipping on orders over $150.00.As it turns out, the website you recommended do not ship abroad (canada and non-contiguous US only, I believe). Fortunately, there is an ASP red gun distributor in Ireland (http://www.danieltechnologies.ie) so we’ve ordered a Colt AR-15 from them — hopefully it’ll arrive soon 🙂 Thanks again for the suggestions!
Re: Which long (training) gun?
Hi Kirsten,
Thanks for all the suggestions! Much appreciated. As these guns are quite expensive, we’ll have to start with one for now. If you had to choose *one* long gun, would you opt for a shotgun or a machine gun? Does either have a training advantage? I have little experience with the long gun defenses, so I don’t know — but it seems to me that the machine guns with their big mags might be more difficult to deal with than a shotgun where there is no such mag? As in, when you train with a shotgun you won’t have to deal with the mag, and so you might find it difficult when defending against a machine gun, but if you train with a machine gun and then defend against a shotgun, the *absence* of the mag might not bother you? Is there any truth to that?
