Subtitle: Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Bearhugs *And Were Afraid to Ask in Class

The bearhug can be a bit of an odd attack. It rarely happens without a preceding or subsequent attack, and unlike almost every other choke and grab our Krav Maga system addresses, there is no immediate danger with a bearhug. Well, that is, unless you’re grabbed by E. Honda (or Mr. Washee Washee)…
To clarify, hands around your throat present an obvious and immediate danger: if you don’t react to remove the hands, your life is in peril. The bearhug in and of itself, in most circumstances, is not a direct threat to your physical safety.

The February 2012 syllabus is subject to change. This post will be updated throughout the month.

The new Fight Endurance class begins today, Tuesday Jan 31. This weekly class will be held at 7:30pm in Training Room 2.
All participants must be Krav Maga Advanced students or otherwise approved by the instructor.
The instructor is Tim Burke. Says Tim:
The goal of the class is to increase the strength and endurance of every participant as it relates to “stand up” fighting combinations. We will build on the basic Bas Rutten workout combinations and incorporate Muay Thai pads. Different from our normal Krav Maga training classes where we might spend half the time on conditioning and half the time on technique, this class will be geared more towards dedicated conditioning with longer periods of rest and recovery. The class will have very little instruction and focus more on punching and kicking stronger, faster, and longer.
Classes will be limited to 10 participants due to space and equipment restraints and will be on a first-come, first-served basis via sign-up at the school. (See the dry erase board by the stairs to Training Room 2).
Here’s the video Danelle mentioned the other night while using her favorite analogy for the turning hammerfist. It’s an alternate—and perhaps the best—strategy for when someone’s creeping you out at an ATM (NSFW, language):
