Feast or famine with Bas Rutten material, eh?
In the interest of ambidexterity, here’s a companion video to “The Liver Shot Demystified”.
It’s been a while since Bas has made an appearance here. Below is an oldie but goodie; a nice companion video to the “Bas on Round Kicks” post.
Between designing the new site and deciding to liven things up with a little emergency surgery, the frequency and verbosity of posts has suffered. In the spirit of this post, I will not apologize [immediately].
Check out this post on the Krav Maga Fit & Fearless site: “No Apologies”. It’s about “When—and when not—to say ‘I’m sorry’ in class, and other etiquette-related dilemmas we face.”
Here are Jennie’s insightful “rules”:
Krav Maga is a system built on aggression and violence of action. We’re training to survive threats to our physical safety, so there needs to be an understanding that when a student steps onto the mat he or she should not expect a low-impact aerobic workout. This, however, does not excuse recklessness nor clumsiness, and, as I mentioned in a previous post, be sure you come to an agreement with your training partner on just how explosive and aggressive you plan to be.
Now that business is out of the way, I’m sorry for the lack of posts recently. Thank you for reading and thank you for training.
We should all be so proud of ourselves for completing the February Burpee Challenge. I know my burpees have improved tremendously. Have yours?
We can keep this going! There are people who do 100 day burpee challenges. You’ve already completed 28 days of it–you’re over a quarter of the way done. Today, do 29. Tomorrow? 30. Break it up throughout the day. You don’t have to do them all at once.
Ok, so if 100 days of burpees don’t excite you, then maybe we should just continue to include burpees in our everyday workouts. Why not do 3 sets of 10 each day? Try variations on a theme–jump higher, jump to the side, forward or back. Jump over someone. Jump up to a pull up or muscle up. Add a squat. Have fun with it!
Want a heart pounding, quick workout? 10 burpees on the minute for 10 minutes. That’s 100 burpees folks.
Hope you enjoyed this challenge. There will be more to come!
