Krav Maga

[CLFLPstudent]

I am guessing (only guessing) that a school would seek to implement Krav Maga to appeal to the adult crowd looking for fitness with whats perceived to be an effective self defense system without uniforms or belts etc. Thats what appeals to me. Im pretty cetain the average age of a Krav Maga student is a lot older tham most other MA.

Then the only way to find out about it would be to go and try it out, instead of posting in a way ( to use your word) to bait people into another flame war.
Try it out. It's either good, or it's not. Then come her and relay your experience.

My question was not about it being good. It was about certifications. I am training in KM now and I like it so I would be able to tell if the class is good but Im unsure about certifications since Im told in KM this is pretty important due to commercialization.

If youre looking for what you call a "flame war" look elsewhere. Im asking about Krav Maga in TCMA places which I have only seen in TKD places until now.

Is this something thats being bantered about in the CMA world?

Call up the school and ask, stop in for a trial class. I'm sure that they would be more than happy to let you try out one of the classes.

Call up the school and ask

but then he wouldn't have an excuse to make a thread on this forum!

I just called. I'll take a trial. Krav Maga is something they just started doing again so Im sure its a bit on the fly but thats OK. Unlike my other place, they will have mixed level classes Im sure because they dont have that many students. Other place had seperate classes for each level but you need students and instructors.

Schedule might be better also so we'll see.

Oh yea...they are KMWW certified...and maybe I'll pick up some CLF ... something I've been talking about for 100 years.

[Mook Jong]

Like i said before, i'm sure the class is great, but the school's main focus is CLF

[KFNOOB]

Thats OK, a lot of KM people have that. Just the way KM has been set up here in the US. It's not like we have KM instructors that have been in KM since they were 10. Most are from other arts and fairly recently got into Krav.

Thanks for the help and insight.

so did you use a butter-knife or a scapel?

Well.... not to take anything away from my friend uki..........

But... we drive by the Krav Maga studio on SW FRWY every Saturday morning and see all the guys in there working out early...

If you're coming in from Katy, that's a long way to go to class....

And... congrats on your certification!

Instructing is the only way to fly....

[masherdong]

so did you use a butter-knife or a scapel?

OH! No, we didnt use either....we used a steak knife that had a point. Yes, several people got cut, including one person that had to go and get stitches.

Skip,

That is Krav Maga Worldwide that is off of SW Frwy. I am part of the IKMF and we are in Katy. Soon to be in Sugar Land and Bellaire!
