Summer Break Workout #3: Tuesday 07.06.10

07.05.10 By Patrick 1 Comment

  • For two 3-minute rounds: Jump rope or do any combination of jumping jacks, high knees, heels up, etc.
  • Do each of the following using the Tabata protocol (8 rounds of 20 sec work, 10 sec rest), no additional rest between exercises. So, you’ll do each exercise for 4 min, totaling 16 min for the workout.
    • Burpees
    • V-Ups or Toe Touches
    • Bas Rutten combo #4 (jab, cross, left hook, cross) as fast as possible with the good form and full extension you practiced yesterday, no pause between repetitions. If you have a heavy bag and can put gloves on in the 10 sec before this exercise begins, go for it.
    • Backward Fall Break and Get Up repeatedly as fast as possible. Find a soft, rock-less patch of grass!
  • Skills Work: Practice bursting forward from a neutral position delivering a simultaneous defense and counter, i.e. 360° Defense. Train both sides and use a mirror if you can.

Here’s an online Tabata timer. There are also mp3 downloads.

Subtitle: Krav Homework Sucks a Lot Less Than Trigonometry

There’s a very important but sometimes neglected concept in learning self-defense. Really, it applies to developing any new skill, be it Krav Maga, playing piano, or knitting. It’s practice, or as we like to refer to it to make it sound more intense: training.

Krav Maga as a system is designed to quickly build proficiency in students and provide them with tools that remain effective under stress and/or from a position of disadvantage that will neutralize a threat and keep them safe.
