What You’re Missing in Fight Class

07.18.14 By Patrick 5 Comments

To say that attendance for Fight Class has waned is an understatement. For the past few classes, without a quorum to fight, those with the dedication to stay have chosen the training topics. Last week we did defenses against knife slashes. This past Wednesday, we were training stick defenses when the often-asked question inevitably arose…

Sword Defense
Stick defenses on the dead side are incredibly versatile. Against a two-handed freakin’ laser sword? Check.

Shelby: But what if it’s a sword?
Susanna: I have a sword in my trunk.
Patrick: LET’S DO IT.
Brendan: [paraphrasing] You guys are nuts.

At least for the summer, or so long as attendance is so sparse (but still enough to support even having a class [nudge nudge]), “Fight Class” will be an open format hour where we’ll focus on technical training of… whatever you want. If that happens to be fighting, great. If not, that’s OK too. Because we will most likely be sparring or working with weapons, the class will still be open to Krav Maga Advanced students only.

Fight Class was added to the schedule because so many students were asking for it. This is kinda the last-ditch effort to keep it alive…
