Re: Drinking & Krav
quote DKatman:Great posts and great topic.I think it says a lot of your training and mentality in applying your training and situational awareness in your realizing you might really be putting yourself out there.
Abstinence is not the same as control. You are not looking to stop going out and drinking and having fun.
I totally see your point. You train hard and you know what you can do sober. You are wondering if the confidence, along with extra strength liquid courage could cloud your judgement into thinking you can defend yourself when you have put your body into a state where you can’t.
I think for part of it, you know yourself better than we do. I don’t know your personality. Are you a happy drunk? Get angry? Like to brag about training? Now, other than that (cause I don’t think you describe yourself as someone who starts the trouble), there are things that just happen. People have already pointed out minimizing those chances with your environment. You will be slower. You will be sloppier. But I agree with Russell in regards to muscle memory. Your body and mind will trigger on a few things and attempt to go through the motions. Just how drunk and sloppy you are will DEFINITELY impact whether or not your arms even leave your sides.
And I think that is where your mindset and mentallity come in. I think the training could very well alter how you go out. I think you are questioning it here. I totally believe that some of the people altered their points of view where they don’t go out and get drunk anymore. That was the awareness they wanted. I think you might find yourself maybe cutting back by maybe just one or two drinks when you go out. You can still go out and have fun, but you will want to keep (or you won’t) that sense about yourself where you do have a measure of control and can fight your way out of a paper bag. I like to where flip flops whenever I am not working. I have specifically changed that to prefer wearing better shoes just in case anything were to happen. I just preferred being in shoes. This is still different than being drunk, but it is still an impairment, if I am not able to move the way I expect I will.
On the flip side, I still want to train without shoes and/or in flip flops more. But either way, I would still operate better in shoes.
I think it would be very dangerous to train drunk with a partner. But I think it would be neat for you to drink and do some bag work, videotape it, and compare it to some videotape of your bag work sober. At some point, if you have more control than any of us might think, it might not be quite as dangerous as I think for you to to do some light work while intoxicated, in the name of science of course. :):
Let me know how that works out,
Dave
:beer:Dave, I laughed at your post. Remember a few of those early saturday morning classes with me? My beer belches? That was pretty close to training drunk.
Re: San Diego – Any KM Schools near the beach side?
quote zohan:newkravaddict
it tells more about you than jcc
it tells you level of interest in krav maga training … ok it not jump around style krav maga…and yes it hard training there so some dont like it…thats ok
it tells everyone that you are talking bad about others…for why? i know the instructor he dont talk bad about others
aybe you visit one time and they dont sit with you for half hour
i know there other places there for km so go there somewere else…be happy…dont talkbad about others…no need to reply…thank you…sorry for english!!!!!Yes, there is a need to reply. Don’t apologize for the english. it’s ok.
I didn’t talk bad about others.
The only thing my post said about ME was that I have an opinion about the quality of the training I sat down and saw. It wasn’t a personal attack on any person.
So if you’re telling me that I’m not allowed to have an opinion, maybe it’s YOU that should go elsewhere.
Have a nice day.
Re: San Diego – Any KM Schools near the beach side?
I gave up Krav because I moved to SD.
… and I can see the JCC from my window.
What does that tell you?
p.s. I’m KMWW trained. I wish the NTC was here..
Re: My first MMA experience
quote DKatman:Man! Sorry to hear that.I know I have taken intro to fight. That might have been a better place to start. If the idea of fight interests you still, you may want to have a look there.
It is a much slower start into getting to an MMA class. It builds well on the experience you are already gaining in KM and taking it to a fighting mentality as opposed to defense and counter mentality. You might like it. And it is much safer to begin.
Just the same, thanks for sharing your experience. It could really help someone else ease into things or keep a heads up as they go for it.
Dave
coming from a guy who i couldnt’ get into a mma class even if i paid him…
Re: Getting totally owned in fight class… Help!
quote DKatman:My training partner and I started together. He was great at KM; aggressive, technically proficient. But he was very frustrated in intro to fight. I am taller. I am longer. I was much more aggressive while sparring.Hello from San Diego, old friend… for the record, it wasn’t your jab that kept me away… it was the lack of deodorant.
I hope you and everybody in L.A. are doing well…
Re: JCC in San Diego
I’m sure Mike’s school is great, but i’m really bummed that I can’t go to anything above level 2 here.
I checked out the jcc too. Not a big fan of the gymnasium setting. I think I’m going to switch to muy thai, if i have the time.
Re: JCC in San Diego
I looked into the kmww school, but they only go up to level 2. I was/am level 3. I’d LOVE to be able to continue my kmww training.
Re: Question
I suck at analogies and examples, but i’ll try one:
If you’ve seen Batman Begins, Bruce Wayne climbs a giant mountain to some secret temple to train. The head dude asks him if he’s ready to begin, and Bruce says, “I”m exhausted” The teacher guy then punts him in the chest and kicks his ass and says something like, “Bad guys don’t care if you’re exhausted”
Ok, that was a horrible example, but you know what i’m getting at.
I think one way to look at it, is if you can practice and learn techniques while you’re exhausted, then you’ll be fine in a real world fight. (eventually)
Anybody that’s ever been in a fight knows you’re winded after 20 seconds anyway, due to the adrenaline dump.
Re: CJsDad sighting at the NTC!
HAHAHA!
Brent is another one that reminds me of a pro wrestler. He kinda looks like Triple H with short hair:

And Sean kinda looks like this guy:

I’m glad im anonymous, because I can’t get my ass kicked.
Re: CJsDad sighting at the NTC!
I saw CJ’sDad for the 1st time ever. I didn’t introduce myself because I pretty much keep my forum and NTC identities separate. I tend to joke around and run my mouth more here and act more serious in training…
… which leads me to my next statement, and I say this with all due respect because it is a compliment:
Sean, you’re a big nasty sumbitch! I mean, damn!, who in their right mind would F with you is beyond me. You look like you should be in the WWF body slamming people, not modifying cars…
Re: Hillary Swank Krav Maga Plug
I saw her really early one day last summer. Private lesson with John Whitman.
Re: Anyone go to Juniors fight last night?
He did very well and was ahead the first two rounds. He had the guy in several triangle holds and one deep rear naked choke. The guy just managed to get out at the last minute on most of those attempts. Wrist control was a factor too.
The third round, they both came out swinging, and the guy caught junior with one knee, dazed him, then tried two more knees. Junior defended well, then the fourth knee was from a thai clinch and just happened to catch him flush in the face. That’s how it ended.
Junior did a great job and I feel sorry for his next opponent….He’s gonna hurt them bad.
Re: Krav and JiuJitsu?
quote RQ:I agree with everyone here, it might set ya back a tiny bit but in the end it could be worth it for you.Looks like you train quite a bit there, almost as much as me. I passed level 1 in one month, level 2 will take 2mo (they only offer 4 classes a week, pretty weak), so you could be at level 4 in one year.
You said you’re in L.A., right? Training at the NTC? Who are you?
1 month for level 1, 2 months for level 2, … seems kinda fast…
