For those unfamiliar with those two words, Krav Maga is a martial art developed by the Israeli special forces. Virtually everyone over there knows at least a little since almost everyone serves in the military. Granted, not everyone knows the special forces version but even the watered down version is pretty hard-core.
Anyway, a little more than a year ago, I met an ex-Marine who teaches the art (oddly enough, two days after my brother and I were talking about it) and promptly signed up. And it has been a ton of fun. And pain. Lots of pain. Moving on.
Finally, after a year I finally got to spar. First with sticks and then hand-to-hand. I had done both at place where I used to live but that was nearly a decade ago. I had remembered it being fun but I had forgotten just how much fun it is. Fortunately, a lot of previous training came back to me and I think I did quite well. Hopefully, this will become a regular thing and more people in the class will get gear so they can get in on the action.
