Our senseis are awesome, keep in a ridiculous shape level, learn all sorts of techniques (sambo, bjj, mma shit, boxing, muy thai, kempo, ninjitsu, blah blah blah). They kind of intertwine that with what we learn in Krav - like we know all these chokes and kimoras that normal level I students around the country don’t know. This is similar to my “crackhead” mode. If i am feeling exhausted and like i dont have any other options left cause im being PWND. I will get to a standing position and throw an all out assult it is actually just a cover for the fact i am just tying to take one last shot at a god ground position but it has worked a few times other times i just got more PWNED. ---

They kind of intertwine that with what we learn in Krav - like we know all these chokes and kimoras that normal level I students around the country don’t know. im excited bout it tomorrow… ill let you know what happens. judging by what the girl said it sounds pretty intense both conditioning and training my one concern is that being bigger, that my size will hurt me more than help. when i wrestled, it was the smaller guys that whipped my ass cause they had all the leverage ---

That’s Krav alright. :lolsign: For as much as I talk shit though, I wouldn’t wanna fight someone trained in Krav- as they definitely train with no rules, and on the street… well that’s it. Someone mentioned the Human Weapon episode of Krav earlier, and it brought out a few great points. Jason Chambers’ main style is BJJ ( mine ) and when he took on the guys wielding a knife, he definitely got fucked up and his style proved worthless. It’s true though, if I was in a 1 on 1 fight with someone I know I’d try and take them to the ground as soon as possible, and if they had a knife, id probably get stabbed ☹ Lastly- grappling is the best workout, no joke ---

Ugh, last thing: A Krav guy came to my gym wearing his krav brown belt ( :tdown: ) and while he looked really out of shape, he had energy and determination that lasted for days, so maybe the conditioning associated with that style is legit. he still got tooled on the ground by everyone at the gym though 🤣 ---

only way to know how to defend against a knife is to learn to fight with one… i also learned how to knock out a dog if ever attacked…(it involves taking a bite followed by a quarter turn and a knee to the canine’s HEAD) ---
