Re: For you true game junkies
quote TacticalTimmy:Nothing in this thread was disrespectful to anybody. Move along please.Whilst referring to my fallen brothers, you said I was trolling, as if you didn’t believe me. Very disrespectful.
Re: For you true game junkies
quote TacticalTimmy:How many brothers do you have that have been killed or have died?For the record, in Israel it is common to refer to fallen soldiers in your regiment as brothers. My two actual brothers were killed (one in a harsh motorcycle accident on the way to Beersheba, the other by a rogue Lebanese mercenary) however many fellow soldiers and friends of mine I have known have been killed. Even in modern times, there are still places in the world where death is a very common occurance, so please do not make light of the situation. I’m sure your respect goes to every fallen American soldier, so please do the same for Israeli soldiers.

Re: At home training
I bought the Tower 200 off of the TV. It has worked wonders for my strength and fitness. Although you do need doors, this handy tool helps to boost your muscle gain and lung capacity. My asthmatic brother, who had a heart attack after a severe asthma attack, used to train in small areas so as not to inflame his lungs.
Re: hats, headbands, something to stop the sweat
quote ghostvet:Funny as it may sound… I use my kids’ old diapers…That is vulgar and disgusting. Please stop trolling.
I choose to grow my hair slightly longer. I have thick, curly hair so it absorbs sweat easily. When I visited Mecca to compete in a Krav competition at the age of 14, noone had sweat gear, yet remained dry. The judiciary told me, (as my brother was being wheeled into an ambulance for a dislocated femur, that soon became infected and killed him) that if youre in a calm and relaxed environment, your body does not feel the need to sweat as much. They also explained how the Chinese practise of Feng Shui subconsciously relaxes the body to the point of not needed to sweat. I have since incorporated Feng Shui into my workplace and my home.
Re: Welcome -cmon Introduce Yourself
Shalom.
My name is Michael, I am currently on grade E3 krav. I grew up outside Jerusalem, during a war with the Lebanese. I am 26 years young (=P), and have been to the hospital 3 times for both bullet and fire-related wounds. (When I was in the hospital, my brother opened a package from a Iranian doctor, which contained a virus that soon caused his liver to clot.)
But I hope these forums will welcome me! =P
Re: Gear for the new students…
In my personal opinion, wearing nothing is the best method of training. When I was a kid, my father taught me Krav bare handed and bare footed. Of course, this was just outside Jerusalem while we were in the middle of Lebanese artillery fire, but I am now on E3 grade Krav in a prestigous Sydney, Australia centre. You should train without gear on, because you won’t be wearing your gear in a real life situation.
My brother found some gloves when we were training with dad and wore them everywhere he went, just in case they were needed. When he was killed by a rabid monkey in the streets of Mecca, he had taken the gloves off. A few years later, I found a Cantonese merchant selling them on my street corner. When I asked where he got them from he told me, “Ni shao shi ma.” To this day I don’t know what it means. Does anyone speak Cantonese here? =P
Re: For you true game junkies
When I was a kid, we were struggling against the Lebanese, not playing space games in America. Have some respect, my brother was killed after he was shot in the chest. After 60 seconds, he was DEAD. This was about 20 years ago, so I understand if you don’t sympathise.
Re: Krav Maga and being safe at home
I don’t a militant group is quite necessary (unless we’re going after all the other inferior martial arts =P), although the terrorists are a problem. Does anyone feel they need to train harder because of the Al Qaeda treats after Bin Laden’s death?
Re: Does Krav have any toe holds or Achilles locks
Yeah, when I visited Jerusalem, I saw went and watched the militants train. Aside from all the m16 and desert eagles (a few of which I was offered =P) they also knew krav. I saw a few of them scaling walls and grabbing guards by the ankles. They did some thing with their hands and pulled them off the wall.
Of course this was all done with dummies =P
