August 2012: No Saturday Krav Maga

08.06.12 By Patrick 4 Comments

Due to attendance, Saturday 8:30AM Krav Maga classes are canceled until September 8.

We’re toying with reformatting the class when it resumes on 9/8, and we’re open to suggestions. We know 8:30AM is a killer, but class time is unfortunately not a variable for now. Saturday morning classes were started because students requested them. What will get you here on a consistent basis? Post to the comments below or let us know in class!

***UPDATE 08.31.12***
Saturday morning classes will remain on hiatus until Sept 22. Beginning 9/22, the class will be renamed Krav Maga Scenarios. More details here.

    you guys have been great for doing saturdays. i appreciate the cardio/conditioning components of saturday class. are there parameters that you need to stay within being a krav class? i always like knowing more cdt stuff if that’s allowed.
    numbers vary from week to week, but if i may ask, what kind of average turnout are you looking for to keep it going? thanks again.

      An average of 6-8 would be peachy keen. The more the better!

    How about something like this:

    -Create a subject class: Take-downs, grappling for beginners, lock joints, stick fighting, ninja techniques for wizards, etc.
    -Announce the new subject in the newsletter and after class
    -Add a check in system to the website so the instructors will know in advance how many participants per session. Place a penalty system for those who signed in and fail to attend class.
    -Extending the class to two full hours of complete annihilation!
    -Propose a breakfast place to go after class for those of us who get hungry in the morning.
    -More cowbell!

    Okay, we can skip a few items but you get the idea.

      – A fight class and/or groundfighting class are always high on my wish list, but I’ll need convincing that a good number of people would be interested in that for more than a few weeks. Attendance plummets with increased contact.
      – BREAKING NEWS: In tomorrow’s class, Victor will be participating in a 60-min Circle of Death. Please show up to attack him.
      – Penalty: 500 of those backward sprawl inchworms that everyone loved so much last night.
      – The last one standing can skip next week’s class without fear of the above penalty.
      – It’s almost time to start bulking for winter, so I’d be happy to replace class with an hour of eating!
