We’re going to combine many of the scenarios we’ve explored over the last six months into one overarching narrative.

*** UPDATE 6/29 ***

Thanks to all who came to class! Here’s what everybody else missed:
A Really Bad Day

  • Put your shoes on as fast as you can.
  • 10 Burpees
  • Defense vs. Gun Threat from the Front
  • Sprint to solving a math problem in < 5s with the threat of a choke from behind.
  • Sprint to picking up your child (16-kg kettlebell).
  • Get past an obstruction, striking a threat, while holding your dead weight—er, child…
  • Get downstairs, drop your child off at daycare, Stick Defense against Overhead Swing.
  • Circle of Death in Training Room 2.
  • Grab keys, run upstairs, and unlock the door before the mob catches you.
  • Sprint to the end of the parking lot and back.
  • Pick up your celebrity and lead him or her safely through the gaggle of rabid fans.

See you in the fall with new scenarios!

Basic Guard Positions for Groundfighting

06.21.13 By Patrick Leave a Comment


Here are some quick descriptions and tips from Stephan Kesting on the most basic guard positions in grappling/BJJ. We’ve at least touched on all of these in Fight Class. As my disclaimer usually goes, some of the content is directly applicable to Krav Maga, some not so much.

  • Closed Guard
  • Open Guard
  • Half Guard
  • Butterfly Guard
  • Spider Guard
  • X Guard

Fight Class Glove Order Form

06.18.13 By Patrick 2 Comments

MMA Training GlovesGood news, everyone! We are going to be adding MMA training gloves to the Fight Class gear list. These gloves are not required, but I can’t imagine you won’t want a pair if you plan to attend Fight Class. They will allow us to add more realism to training, incorporating light striking to grappling, weapons defenses, and the other assorted mayhem we get up to…

IMPORTANT NOTES:

  • These gloves are NOT the fingerless gloves most people have. These are much more heavily padded.
  • The only gloves approved for use in Fight class are the official Krav Maga Worldwide 16-oz gloves and these. No exceptions. We’re centralizing ordering to ensure everyone has the same gloves (and to save you shipping charges!)
  • Most important of the Important Notes: We will NOT be training with these at the same level of intensity as we do with the boxing gloves. Anyone showing a lack of control will be “demoted” back to 16-oz boxing gloves!

*** Please submit your info in the form below before 12PM on Friday, June 28, to be included in the current order! ***


The order window has closed.
