Re: Structure of a typical (and good) Krav Maga class
Thanks CJ! I would be in a level 1 class (beginner). How much of a given class is focused on fitness? What kind of drills are typical? And what is a burn out drill?
Re: Newbie Needs Advice
I talked to the trainer at the closer Krav Maga location (Spitfire Krav Maga). She said they do not spar in level 1 (they want students to learn and practice the fundamentals of combatives and make them safer in as little amount of time as they can). They introduce light sparring in Level 2 and progress from there once their students have the philosophy and fundamentals. They do full gear boxing and MMA sparring.
She also said she is working on adding classes (maybe a week night) but needs to make more classes feasible. She said she would have no problem with me taking some classes at the further location (Dupage Krav Maga) and is sure the instructor at the other location would be fine with it too (she trains there). She also said most of her students are concentrating on the self-defense aspect (fitness is secondary) and she has a couple of boxers/trainers that drop in when they don’t have classes of their own. She said she has a couple of guys that would be suitable training partners for me.
So I think I am going to check it out Saturday and see how it goes.

I did find a new school in Naperville, IL.

I am going to check it out this weekend and will update on how it goes.
Re: Bring some Krav Maga in the Joliet,IL area!
I totally agree with this. Nothing in south or far west suburbs of Chicago!
Re: Newbie Needs Advice
Thanks…that’s good to hear. I know the instructor at Spitfire is Ria Punzalan and the head instructor at Dupage is Scott Lorenz.
