Re: I Don’t Like…….
Word.
Burpees and Mtn Climbers. Hate ’em. Which means we’ll likely do extra tomorrow. Such is life. :chair:See you then!
Re: I Don’t Like…….
quote Nickolas Cook:Okay, those rock. I’m going to suggest them tomorrow morning.Uummmm…yeah, thanks. How about you do a couple dozen and then decide if you want to subject your peers to them? :dunno:
What the heck, bring it on! :box:
Re: Haim Gidon video
I’d like to see the video, but not enough that I am going to sign up for facebook….:dunno:
Is it anywhere else…YouTube, etc.?
Re: Krav Maga + A Level Head
Two thumbs up. thumbsupthumbsup
Keeping a cool head pays dividends, though it can be hard to remember because there’s no immediate gratification or resolution to the insults, adrenaline, etc.
When dealing with similar situations, I ask myself, “Self, is this a self-defense situation, or an EGO-defense situation?” Ego-defense is not worth the trouble of a potentially violent confrontation.
Nice job.

Would you mind elaborating so I can better undrstand?
No problem, I meant Point Of View.
Oh, thanks too for the previous comment.

Re: Choke from front with a push
Thanks MJ. :):
I first learned of this concept during CCW training here in Arizona. One of our instructors was a retired detective, so we were able to get his POV on situations where deadly force was used. Essentially, if there is a dead body on the ground, and you put it there (so to speak), you’ll have some explaining to do. Very enlightening.
And the key phrase driven home was, as you stated, “Officer, I was in FEAR FOR MY LIFE”.Re: Choke from front with a push
Interesting thread. thumbsup
As a Krav student, I think it is important to consider what could happen after you’ve successfully defended your life, when a broken & bleeding dirtbag is at your feet, or later if/when the police come knocking because the perp is in a coma or died.
I’m NOT saying that Krav students should have second thoughts about defense of their lives, or the lives of their loved ones. There should never be hesitation at that moment for any reason.
But do spend time considering how your statements to law enforcement personnel may be taken out of context in the unfortunate event of legal proceedings (against you). There is that chance that your adrenaline will still be pumping, you’ll be tired, possibly injured, scared, in shock, who knows what else. Without a plan, you may say things that, under the circumstances are justified, but to jurors in a quiet, air-conditioned courtroom, could sound like something else.
I guess I’m saying that Krav gives us a Plan of Action when the time comes for defending our lives. IMO it is worthwhile to spend an hour or two developing a Plan of Action for when the nice person with the badge has their notepad open and is doing their job: asking questions, gathering facts. Without a plan, a person could say the wrong thing, causing all sorts of unecessary headaches down the road.

Re: Prepare for classes
quote CAS1:Hello all,Two questions…
1. Does anyone know of KM classes in the Pittsburgh, PA area?
2. What are the best exercises to prepare for my first class?
Thank you
Re #2: Unless you’re already in decent (or better) shape, the 1st class will likely push you to your cardio and physical limits. I can’t really think of anything that could help prepare…maybe do all of the jumping jacks, push-ups, crunches, split lunges, mountain-climbers, planks and bridges you can, each until physical failure. Then push yourself to do more.:Surprised:
I am still a n00b, but IMO, mental preparation may be more beneficial than trying to physcially prepare (unless you have several weeks before class). Have an open mind, be prepared to work hard, physcially and mentally, at learning what Krav teaches. Technique is important, but so is mindset. The first few classes will be very difficult in many ways. I was sore from head to toe for a few days after my 1st lesson.
Oh, if you’re a guy, wear a cup.
Have fun, let us know how it goes!
SeanRe: Is anyone selling any instructional dvd’s?
Question for anyone “in the know”:
We’ve recently had changes to a few techniques…any chance these changes are going to make it to the DVDs soon? I realize KM is an evolving form, but would like to know if updated DVDs are on the horizon.Thanks for letting me piggyback onto your thread!

Re: Checking in to say hi.
Hola and welcome RA. I’m a relative n00b too, but the Bike brand cup has saved my bacon bits a few times already.
Cheers-
