For those of you who have known me for years you are probably going to laugh your ass off when I tell you what I did yesterday.
I signed up for a 6 week Krav Maga class. Krav Maga is a military hand to hand combat system designed by Israli Defense Forces. In Isreal the army is made up of both men and women so Krav Maga is designed to teach everyone techniques to defend themselves no matter how big or small.
Brett took some Krav Maga classes at his work the other day and told me that I should do it. I was excited that he wanted me to do this. He kept on me and finally I signed up. Yesterday was my first class.
We learned how to punch, fist thrust, kick and defend off an attacker that is putting you in a frontal choke hold. At one point I almost passed out. This is literally the first time I have worked out in probably 8 months. I stuck it out and I really enjoyed myself. It was cool to think that I could actually defend myself. The great thing about krav Maga is that it doenst teach you how to fight. It teaches you how to defend yourself and then run when you get the opportunity. Unlike boxing and other fight techniques the goal of Krav Maga is to defend and run. I like this because thats exactly what I would actually do!
After my class I told Brett I would show him what I learned. Unfortunately for Brett I wasnt so good at my fake groin kicks. Poor kid should wear a cup next time we practice. BUT I did take him down. Day 1 and I'm already kicking ass... eerr groin.

I snorted I laughed so hard at your kick styles. Are you sure that wasn't intentional? Did hubby make you angry this weekend?! :)
The class sounds cool. Wish I could find a group class that would keep me motivated..
no, it was not intentional but I did laugh my ass off. Poor kid is on the floor doubled over and I cant stop laughing. Even the dog was attacking him. It was quite a sight! I think i might owe him.
