I’ve been doing krav for 6 months pretty regularly. I’ve never had to push myself this hard physically. I love it now, and I just passed my first belt test. Definitely staying for the next level.

One more thing…

Do not take any martial art for ‘self defense’. It’s not worth the time, or the effort. It provides a false sense of confidence. In the real world no amount of training will help you against a knife/gun/multiple people or someone who has 75lbs on you.

Running and mace/gun are the best street defense.

I don’t know why the instructor didn’t stop you from punching the bag without wraps/gloves. That doesn’t reflect very good on them. You should’ve been shadowboxing instead.

Any physical activity that takes you out of your element and routine will feel like a great work out. This is the best way to gain ‘usable’ strength. Take a look at crossfit.com

This is also why machines aided movements are far inferior to free weights. Free weights make sure that you use your whole body/tendons/nerves for a given movement and all the components of your body grow stronger as a result, instead of having a machine isolate a few muscles.

If you have not tried it, do some squats with no machine/just free weight. Take it slow and build up weight very gradually. Have someone observe your form to make sure you are not huring yourself. I think you will like it if you give it a try…

I used to do Muai Thai and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and it’s a lot different than weight training or cardio. No matter how good you are it seems to be more exhausthing than anything I have ever done.

Nice website!

I have always wanted to try Krav Maga. First of all, because I am interested in anything Israeli (I have been to Israel twice) and secondly because Kristiana Loken (of Terminator 3 fame) used it to get into sexy cyborg shape.
