Krav Maga Instructor Training - Day 4
The tempo has picked right up today. The guys are slower off the mark. Stiff, aching and slower to warm up. They are all game but feeling the training.
Today its the ground. Review of punches, blocks and chokes and straight to it on the ground. Within an hour or so some are really struggling. The matts are soaked, the clothes are soaked. Other peoples sweat drips freely into your face but the guys work on.
By 11 am the room has developed its own unique and erm… interesting aroma. Its not helped by the fact that ventilation come from 2 small windows. Many of the guys had never fought on the ground or grappled. Much was new and several felt out of their depth. We worked through basics, basic combat principles, basic positions. Phrases such as guard, open/closed guard are becoming natural talk. Fitness is becoming increasingly important.
The guys are tired but the banter is great and laughter is frequent. We wrapped up with more teaching practice and technical review. They are doing well - but a long way to go yet. What does day 5 hold - tougher training…
Keep it up guys - only 3 days of phase 1 left…
Are the general public ready for you yet ?
