How Hard Should You Go During Sparring?

07.23.13 By Patrick 1 Comment

Intro to Sparring class

Here’s a great article from Stephan Kesting on training intensity. It’s a bit more specific to grappling/BJJ, but the points are no less valid for Krav Maga. And there’s a Spin̈al Tap reference…

Less and Much More Fighting… Plus a Poll!

07.12.13 By Patrick Leave a Comment

The Advanced and Fight classes have been poorly attended for several weeks, beyond the usual summer slump. For those who have been avoiding the Advanced class due to fighting, I have good news: The sparring rotation is over! For those who swear they’re not skipping class because of sparring, I have good news: We fight in Fight class!

I’m looking for some feedback specifically on Fight class. I’d greatly appreciate your input via the form below, even if you’ve never attended the class. It can be anonymous, so please be honest.

Thank you!

Really Bizarre Krav Maga Videos…

07.01.13 By Patrick 2 Comments

‘Get Back, Stay Back’ is a fashion story with a difference, combining self-defence how-to with high fashion starring model Lara Stone. Trained in Krav Maga, a self-defence system used by the Israeli Defence Forces, Stone demonstrates to women everywhere how to defend yourself against would-be assailants, whilst wearing high fashion.

The concept sounds silly, the videos look bizarre, but here’s the thing: The information in these videos is actually really good!

See all the videos on YouTube and the official site. Also check out the interviews with Jonathan Bullock and Magda Nikitczuk of the Institute of Krav Maga UK.
