Krav Maga

On Saturday, I went to my first Krav Maga class.
I really like Krav Maga. It’s one of the few martial arts that was invented after guns. It teaches you practical self-defense against realistic threats such as chokes, knifes, and assault rifles. It was designed to be easily learned, but difficult to forget. The movements are natural and for the most part instinctive.
In my first class, we did bunch of warm up drills, lots of punching, palm strikes, kicks, then for the last part, I learned a easy choke defense. I am completely sore… my back is killing me, but it feels good. I’m going to try to do Krav Maga twice a week… and see how far I can get with it.
I found an awesome Krav Maga video on youtube… enjoy.
I am very interested in a class in the NY/nj area do you know of any /
