Krav Class

Last night we went to our second Krav class. Going forward we will be going at least twice a week, so we will go again this Saturday. I am really enjoying the class. Last night, the aerobic workout portion of class almost did me in. During the previous class we had done a lot of jumping jacks, crunches, and push ups, so the week since then I have been practicing those moves every morning. Well, our instructor must of been wise to my training because last night's workout consisted of a lot of running, which by the way I had not practiced or trained for. Needles to say, it was another intense workout. After the workout we were broken in to two groups once again. Our group worked on getting up from a take-down position. At first, the move seemed overly complicated. I mean doesn't everyone know how to get up from the ground? However, once the instructor broke it down I finally understood. The move started from a sitting position. To get up, kick your attacker with your strong leg, for right handed people this would be your right leg, then at the same time brace yourself with your strong arm and hop back on your left foot to get distance from your attacker, then bring your right foot around and end up in your fighting stance. When done smoothly this is a quick and effective way to get up from the ground. In any event, I am a little sore today; however, I am really enjoying the class.
