Re: epilepsy
Good to hear you have an inclusive instructor – in my experience they are more than willing to accommodate individual needs. My daughter has recently had a small amount of break through seizures, which means she needs her meds upped probably because she’s still a teen, and teens grow! This actually happened in class last night and she stepped down for the last 10 minutes or so which was sparring. Our instructor is fantastic and works around all our needs though and while strict isn’t harsh or unreasonable. We all feel so much more able to handle ourselves in a fight now, and to protect ourselves/others. I hope you gain that confidence soon!
Re: How often do you train?
I am not sure what L2/L1 classes are but this is what I do.
Twice a week we do Krav Maga which includes body conditioning/cardio 20% and technique 80% for 1.5 hrs . On Saturday morning I do a 1.5 hrs going over techniques and doing some cardio, practicing for gradings. Saturday afternoons are HEMA/WMA with full metal, for fun.
On alternative weekdays I do cardio/body conditioning for an hour. Mid week I do HEMA with synthetics… other times I am just active doing stuff and I don’t do office work. I do go over techniques outside of class.
On occasion I do HEMA on Sundays, full metal.
I do this with my family, the youngest too young for KM do karate on the same day.
Re: epilepsy
My daughter who has epilepsy does Krav Maga and my younger son who has epilepsy (too young for KM) does karate. As long as your instructor is aware it is fine. Especially if it is controlled.
You may have to wear protective head gear at times but the important thing is you can protect yourself and your noggin if you were attacked would out weigh risk in class, I imagine. The intent of class members should be to support each other!
