Krav Maga / Self Defense / Get in shape

[Alex]

Half a year ago I found a new hobby... a Self Defense school. I first signed my kid up (5 years old) and he loved every class. After a couple of months taking him to classes, I decided to try it for myself and never looked back.

It's the best work out I have ever found. The instructor is one amazing dude, motivational and knows his stuff. You WILL burn about 900-1000 calories per class and you will love it :haha:

If anyone is interested about more details about this self defense technique, let me know I can explain more. But ever since I got into it, I've been telling all my family and friends about it.

Krav Maga is an Israeli Military self defense system taught to IDF units in Israel. 10 years ago it was opened up to USA to train here. It's not martial arts, there are no rules, there are no belts, there is no uniform, there is only survival.

Here is a video I recorded of my class a few weeks ago.

The training is available 6 days a week (7 or 8 o'clock at night) The school is located on Ft Union and 23rd East. First class is free to check out.

That is way cool that you do this. I have seen stuff about it on TV but you are the first person I have known who studies it.


How long have you been doing it and how much does it cost?

[Alex]

Looks cool! :haha:

Is it painful? I mean, it looks like you can get in the family jewels very easily and I don't have any kids yet.

[Deathcricket]

very cool. not only good exercise but it would have it's practical applications to. Nothing wrong with knowing how to "put the hurt on" if the situation should require it.

:2thumbs:

[Alex]

Yes very painful, hurty, bruisy and so damn addicting! :roflol:

A cup and a mouth piece is a must though. I can tell you till wee hours in the morning, but you got to come and see/try it for yourself :2thumbs:

And yes, it's very street practical, street/criminals/thieves have no rules when they rob ya... just FYI

What's the class schedule like, Alex? How many hour per month for $75?
