Scoop 0 #1 December 31, 2008 Any other Krav Maga practioners out there? A new class is just being founded near me so me and a few other guys from work are going to start. I love the simple philosophy, it fits hand in hand with our own self defence training. Simple so you can remember it in the heat of the moment. Also not being so structured as martial arts, missing classes because of shift work wont be such a big disadvantage. Really looking forward to it. There is no Worldwide Krav Maga classes near me so instead we are going to Commando Crav Maga (CKM). WHatever the politics and validity of the claims of the founders, its still effective. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=xhKjpdWyYMc Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites BIGUN 1,049 #2 December 31, 2008 My discipline was Kun Tao. Not that unlike Krav Maga and make no mistake, you will get fucked up in training. Enjoy. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

The test just to pass to level 2 was one and a half hours and it was CONSTANT. I could barely move the next day till later have fun & love each other seeya mb65johnny gates....

Also, take a look at this website. Systema, a Russian martial arts. I am thinking of going there for the summer training workshop. Pretty expensive, but totally worth it. http://www.russianmartialart.com/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites virgin-burner 1 #6 January 2, 2009 that is all for pussies n'wusses, i dont wonder there are so many around here that like that barbie-sport.. if you wanna go hard and effective, muay-thai is the way to go.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.
