Krav Maga
- Thread starter ijt
- Start date
Depends entirely on the instructor. I have known karate and kickboxing classes that require tip top shape and others that you can do when your 80. Tai chi is often called the ideal martial art for folks who are athletically dead and yet some instructors switch up the class to make it extreme and demanding. Nothing is in stone in martial arts. Ask the instructor lots of questions and decide if it is for you.
I have seen a lot of good israli fighting classes and I have heard of some very bad ones. You gotta give us more to work with.

Krav maga is not just ONE thing. There are basically divisions in its training; fitness, self defense, fighting, and some others.
Take the course you want. You want to know how to survive the streets, take the fighting course, which teaches you everything about street fighting, knives, ect. Fitness is fitness, ect.

Apparantly you can go and get 1 free lesson, I think I will do that and see what it's like.
Problem solved.
Aren't the principles of krav maga based purely in fighting? I mean that in the roughest sense, the "I'm going to break your collarbone, ya son of a bitch!" It's kind of hard for me to picture krav maga as anything else.
I don't want to turn this into "BUt awl marshall arts r basd in fightin l0L!" So I am just going to leave it at that.

HAha nice Lei. Well, you have the idea. It's just that Krav maga is split into 4 sub practices to suit other peoples purposes. Little 9 year old children don't really want to know how to break someones collarbone, so they have to make it available to everyone, not just the uber violent types.
