Triumphant return to Kra…Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu??

After taking a much needed break from the hectic life I led for 3 months while working toward Krav Maga Level 2, I am back to the Krav dinner table for another regular diet of elbows, knees and suicide pushups (the way we do them is you have to go to full push up position, then down to your elbow/forearm (plank position), and then back up to push up position. The trick is that in Krav we don’t do them fists to the mat, we do them fists to your parter’s stomach. That hurts.

After about 15 minutes of isolating our abs and making me cry insdie–We did so much core workout, you wouldn’t even believe how much core workouts we did–

Anyways, on to the class.

We did something that is totally new to me. Brazillian Jiu-Jitsu. I guess I shouldn’t say totally new cause there was that one time where we did this thing called buck and roll at the John Whitman gun seminar, in which we did this roll thing and destroyed your elbows against a concrete floor. That was awesome.

Anyway, I’m not going to describe BJJ because I don’t really understand what we did. What I did understand is that it would not take long to make someone pass out if you put their head in a certain position, and your legs in another certain postion and started to do the anaconda squeeeeze.

It was a great class, and I’m looking forward to more brutality. Oh! speaking of which, right when I got there they were still doing the Level 1 class (aaahhh suckers!) and it was totally packed. Right toward the end they did this lights out drill where it was dark and people were sort of moshing around, and this hipster looking girl must have gotten hit in the face, cause she ran out crying, and her skinny-jeans beau went out after her. I hope she’s okay.

You gotta be tough in Krav, but this looked like this was probably that girl’s first (and last?) time at Krav. I hope someone told her coming in that it was likely that you get an elbow (if you’re lucky) to the mouth (if you’re lucky). Sorry girl, I hope you come back, Krav is really awesome!
