Bas vs. the Flu
HA! Bas Rutten has another commercial on Cartoon Network. (Yeah, I’m watching cartoons on a Sunday night. Big whoop, wanna fight about it?) This time he tackles germs.
This video posted on YouTube isn’t very good, but certainly good enough for a chuckle:

Get Worn Out!
One of the best ways to train Krav Maga techniques is under stress. That’s when it counts. That’s when you really see how you react and what your body is capable of. This is why a popular stress drill is circle of death. Having multiple attackers coming at you over and over again is stressful. Another way to train under stress? Wear yourself out before you practice the technique.
Here is a drill from Saturday that is sure to tire you out.
With a partner:
Front Kick, Vertical Target, across the room (~20 yards)
10 Push-ups
10 Squats
Switch with your partner, so they kick you across the room and then perform 10 push-ups and 10 squats.
Continue this back and forth for 10 minutes.
At the end of 10 minutes, you and your partner will practice punch or choke defense, being explosive and completing with combatives, as hard as you can go. Every 30 seconds, find a new partner.
In the words of Bas, “You will get tired. I promise you.”
