Thursday night’s Krav class was fun. It was very similar to interval training. Starting in full protective fighting gear - here’s how it went:
- Do light sparring, but in a "Rock’em Sock’em Robots" fashion. In other words, there was no defense, only offense. And, the offense had to be continuous for 4 minutes.
- Do Level 1 defenses against various two-handed chokes.
- Deliver punches and kicks to your stationary partner. I always find this to be very unnerving because as the stationary partner, you aren’t allowed to defend or strike back. As you stand there observing the punches and kicks coming at you, the striker is practicing hitting vulnerable targets on your body.
- Do Level 2 defenses against the bar arm choke, carotid choke, headlock and various bear hugs.
- Do light sparring for 3 minutes.
- Do Level 1 and 2 defenses.
- Do light sparring for 3 minutes.
- Do handgun defense from the front.
- Do light sparring for 3 minutes.
- Do handgun defense from the back.
- Do light sparring for 3 minutes.
- Do handgun defense from the side, behind the arm.
- Do light sparring for 3 minutes.
- Do handgun defense from the side, in front of the arm.
- Do light sparring for 4 minutes.
- Bow out of class.
Phew! I survived another of Ms. K’s classes.
