Re: Is it normal during an introductory class to just about give up?

Hey I think you’re the same person that I recommended on another forum to look into Krav Maga. Is that correct?

Well anyhow I’ve started recently as well and I went in thinking I was in good shape. At this point I leave every class drenched in sweat and pretty much tapped out of energy and strength.

That’s one of the instructor’s goals. Making sure you get a great workout combined with your techniques.

I do suggest combinging aerobic and anarobic training to supplement your Krav Maga. Doing intervals on a bike/elliptical will surely help you make it through class much easier.

To specifically answer your question in most of my classes there is at least one person that doesn’t complete all exercises/workouts and it appears to be conditioning or in some cases pain.

Re: ground work

Yes welcome to the forum. I’ve actually not done any groundwork yet but looking forward to it. Our school actually has nights dedicated to just ground work and I’ll definitely be attending those.

Re: List of KMW endorsed organizations

There is the Krav Maga Alliance: http://kravmagaalliance.org/

The facility where I train is under this organization. Looks like John Whitman who was president of KMWW started his own organization.

Does anyone know why this occured? Why he left to start his own?
