Re: What did you do in Krav Maga class today?
I like this thread! (:
Today’s class was great (as usual)
We started with choke defenses….and then we moved on to choke defenses when carrying s’thing (t.pad) and s’one came up with the question: whaT if you’re carrying a child? so we practiced choke defenses imagining the tombstone pad was a baby. (a bit tricky at first)
We also had a drill with no lights and where we practiced inside defenses, 360 defenses and roundhouse kicks.
Genuine fun
Re: Welcome -cmon Introduce Yourself
Hey jenn !
I’m Mariana from Mexico and i can tell you that deciding to train krav maga is one of the best choices i’ve made. I should tell you that i’m like a living example that krav actually works. I had some weight issues too and started really REALLY slowly (had to catch my breath every 5 mins) I can endure three classes in a row now withour getting exhausted. :woohoo:
I’m in level two now and my exam was definitely the most demanding experience i’ve had, physically and mentally.
My own classmates don’t recognize me now, i entered as the youngest girl, extremelly timid and non-agressive (just to give you a reference i used to practice ballet and yoga) and now i can tell you that if s’one attacks me, i’m pretty sure i’ll fight back…i don’t know if i’ll win…but i WILL try to survive.
You definitely SHOULD give it a try as i told you, knowing you’re not weak is the best feeling in the world!!

Kirsten but then if you keep your hands in that position isn’t it harder to keep yourself from lowering your hands before delivering a hook or uppercut?…..
Re: Focus mitts-Help!
Kirsten,
You’re right, i DO LOOVE <3 smashing things up and i AM focusing on strength instead of accuracy, i’ll try the mirror thing…another thing i had trouble with was the huge pivot on the hook…and what i did was exactly what you said…about two weeks ago i started training with a mirror by myself … i’m better now…..
thank you SOO much for the advice….I’ll definitely try it…i’ll get it fixed (:
