Good skills. Didn’t even lose his hat.
Krav Maga instructors grab a live handgun…
Good to see it put into practice. This question comes up every time we train gun disarming.

Good idea!
If you want to get yourself killed.
Otherwise: FAIL
Out at a bar
- Friend: Are you gonna fight someone?
- Me: Uh . . . probably not?
- Friend: I just really want to see you kick someone's ass.
- Me: I can't just go around beating people up for no reason. I would have to be attacked first.
- Friend: Ooo is that like, the Krav Maga code?
- Me: No . . . it's the law.
- Friend: Oh. Yes. Probably a good law.
Foamroll!
People of all forms of sport,
If you haven’t tried a foam roller yet, you’re missing out!
It’s the best thing ever. Seriously I don’t know how I could do without a roll. Well, actually I do: miserably.
If you have no idea what I’m talking about, foam rolling is basically lying on a foam roll in all sorts of different positions and rolling hence and forth carefully, thus massaging your muscles and - more importantly - your fascia, which is the connective tissue between your muscles and skin. Turns out this tissue plays a greater roll… erm… role for your posture than you would imagine. Its strands can adhere and even shorten under the influence of cortisol (stress hormone) causing your posture to worsen.
Repeated manual therapy - foamrolling - can losen the strands and help you to straighten again. This also makes it a great primer for workouts.
Get rollin’!

Fighter’s Gymnastics: Ginastica Natural
I’m gonna go to a Ginastica Natural seminar tomorrow led by the inventor himself, Mr Álvaro Romano.
Who’s that guy?
Álvaro is a sportsman, holding black belts in BJJ and Judo (some sources say his Judo belt is brown, but does it really matter?). He was among the first surfers in Rio de Janeiro to practice Jiu-Jitsu but lives in San Diego now and even trains UFC fighters.
Check this video (00:30-01:34) of him training Vitor Belford.
What is Ginastica Natural?
Ginastica Natural is a training concept that combines BJJ-inspired groundwork with stretching and breathing techniques of Hatha-Yoga and natural body movements.
Why do I do it?
First of all I’m interested in all aspects of strength training. Especially functional and bodyweight training have come to my attention recently and I would like to see what’s out there.
Secondly, you don’t spend much time on the ground in Krav Maga. We all know it’s a bad place to be and that we shouldn’t even get there in a fight. However ground techniques are among my favourite techniques in the system. We don’t do that much ground work in our school and I feel I’m not as good as I could be so I hope that the movements taught in Ginastica Natural will make me feel more “at home” on the ground.
Plus, I mean - just look - two hours of this will just be a great functional workout!
in liquatur: bentoboxing: fires-build-steel: If I ever am stupid enough to have...
If I ever am stupid enough to have children, they will be in Judo classes starting at age 10, Krav Maga at age 14.
Why? Because Judo has a lot of holds and flips I don’t want my kids to find themselves in the situations I was in as a young’n. Plus, I…
Yeah, I’d say that it’s better to learn Krav Maga if you do already know about certain social dynamics. However, I can’t say it focuses on pressure point techniques. I would rather say it’s all about hit and run. Hence the motto: “Don’t get hurt!”
