I was thinking of doing some Krav Maga classes. Have you ever tried it?
I've definitely heard of it. Someone in my class told me about how she took it so she could better defend herself walking home from class at night. It sounded interesting.. how does it work?
They teach a self defense/ fighting system. Its a mix of boxing, wrestling, Judo, karate and others started by the Israeli military
Had no idea it was so involved.. and had no idea it was from the Israeli military! Honestly, when I heard it, it sounded Russian.. or something, haha. This is fascinating stuff, and I know zilch, so I'll take whatever you got.
Haha I get that. Well to me Krav Maga is a bit better than other defenses taught because it focuses on real world situations and it's extremely efficient 
Yeah, I think that's why my classmate went for it. She just wanted to be able to get to her car safely at night, etc. Do you have any more specifics on how you train, or what you learn?
