Re: concerns with KM
thanks for the already great feedback. Everything you guys touched on makes perfect sense. I sure I could make the analogy to exercise where people love to progress right to the more advanced exercise, but lose sight of the components of each that do take time to become proficient at.
I guess the root of my concerns come from the fear that I may be missing out on grappling/throwing, etc until much later down the line.
Re: I need cardio help.
A great way to built cardio without actually doing traditional cardio is to do circuit training mimicking the rounds your performing in your class. Pick an exercise (preforably total body) and do it for one minute. So for a five minute round your picking 5 differenent ex. for a round each. Then take a minute break or however long you break between rounds. You could do multiple rounds for a workout or choose throw them in as intervals during regular weight training.
Re: Great Km Book
I’d say my favorite parts of the book are his written words for the first quarter of the book. The way he decribes the philosophy, history, and fighting science are great.
Re: Cross training in Kung Fu
quote HM2PAC:If you can find a Jeet Kun Do school near where you live you may find it appealing.JKD was Bruce Lee’s evolution of Wing Chun Kung Fu. He made things more adaptable and easier to apply to a real world fighting situation. Basically, he took Kung Fu back to it’s originations and got rid of the gloss and dance that had crept in.
There is this guy by me who teaches JKD, but I’m always skeptical if some of them are actually doing authentic JKD. He claimed to be trained by one of Bruce Lee’s students, but I don’t know if that means a few seminars or actual training. But I’d love to do JKD too.
Re: Great Km Book
In KMWWbook there’s about 3 primary defenses listed with a few variations, the boaz book has a chapter dealing with stick (under club and chain) that’s a little different. He first teaches you how to attack with a club, then defense vs club using another club or “handy object.” Then attacking an opponent armed with club using a club and a kick, defense vs club with bare hands-head shot, defense vs club with bare hands-Side body shot, attacking attacker armed with a club.
With the couple that are dealing with defense, it looks like fairly similar techniques than what’s taught in the KMWW.
Re: Cross training in Kung Fu
Yea definitely not as practical. But thanks for the info. I actually have been enjoying the training. So far I’ve been enjoying trying to learn the various techniques. I also like the challenge of the fancy kicks and flexibility it’s been presenting me.
Wish there were more practical kung fu near me though. I know a friend who does praying mantis boxing and raves about it.
Re: Great Km Book
That is a weird video, but the dude still has cred from being the 3rd Chief KM instructor of the IDF Fighting Fitness Academy (1st being Imi). To me this makes him one of the true authorities of the art. The visuals, instruction, and practical description really impressed me about book.
Re: Interested in Krav
As someone who works with conditioning athletes and who’s new to KM, I’d definitely reccomend supplementing your training with a consistant exercise program.
A good exercise program should be structured to not only get to your goals, but also be corrective in nature.
If you have the buget, I’d recommend finding a “GOOD” personal trainer. One who really knows what they’re doing will definitely aid you in getting through KM training and prevent possible injuries. Even once a week or every other week would be beneficial.
Too many people simply jump into things (intense exercise etc) without realizing or taking into account limitations that need to be addressed.
Re: Krav Maga Worldwide Europe
Great to here. For someone new to KM and under a KMWW school, it’s good to see there still very alive and well.
Re: aloha
what’s up man. KM seems to be definitely a good choice for a martial art that is rooted in physical fitness. What attracted me to it aside from the practicallity was the amount of conditioning. Other schools I visited barely made me even break a sweat.
Although there are some that are in my class that are finding out the hard way that outside conditioning is always a must.
Re: Cross training in Kung Fu
It’s been a great compliment so far. KM being my first martial art, has really gotten me into wanting to study other styles. I must say I’ve got a great teacher in KM and sets the bar pretty high for other schools I’ve tried.
Re: Cross training in Kung Fu
While what I love most about KM is how practical it is, I have wanted to train in kung fu to attempt to learn techniques that I’m otherwise not used too.
I also am getting a deep discount from a friend, so it’s a little hard to resist.
Re: newbie question shadow boxing or bag work?
[quote=stevetuna;50969]Both. Shadow boxing for form, timing and rythem, movement, etc. Hitting the heavy bag for power and maximum weight transfer. If I could only choose one, I’m hitting the heavy bag. One of the best things I was ever taught was to punch hard every time I’m hitting something. Develop the desire and ability to maximize the transfer of your force through your striking surface (fist, palm, elbow, knee, shin, etc.) into your target. Hit the heavy bag HARD every single time!

I was wondering the same thing when practicing at home. Wasn’t exactly sure how much speed vs actual power to deliver. Thanks
