LAST NIGHT @ KRAV MAGA GLASGOW

2009-12-10T11:48:00.000-08:00

As a treat we delved into the Tactical Edge system and in particular drawpoint . We covered rotary pick, rotary claw and looked at cover and slash. We then blended this together using hubud to plug the gaps. Remember this is conceptual, so as well as being able to work empty hand, it works with any improvised weapon. Get practicing at home guys. See you next week for the last training session of 2009.

LAST NIGHT @ KRAV MAGA GLASGOW

2009-12-03T12:46:00.000-08:00

Last night we worked our core combatives into some two of Krav Maga's takedowns. We then looked at Tactical Edge and borrowed the foot pins. We used the right haymaker as a stimulus and worked all our striking and takedowns from this. Next week week we will do the same from straight punches. Great effort by all that attended.

THIS WEEK @ KRAV MAGA GLASGOW

2009-11-26T02:52:00.000-08:00

This week after working our combatives on the pads we looked at defending kicking attacks with the feet and then moved on to some knife defences. We also jumped into Tactical Edge and borrowed the tapping drill to lift our attributes. Great effort and it was commented by someone watching that all the guys were coming on great and looking much sharper. Consistency is the key here guys. Great effort.

THIS WEEK @ KRAV MAGA GLASGOW

2009-11-21T00:41:00.000-08:00

KRAV MAGA LEVEL 1 GRADING
SUNDAY 15 NOVEMBR 12-3PM
ENERGY GYM BOROUGHMUIR RUGBY CLUB, COLINTON ROAD, EDINBURGH, EH14 1AS

The day will begin with a two hour technical session where the students will be broken into small groups and will be assigned an instructor to go over and polish the level one material. This two hour session will be the equivalent to one months regular classes. After the technical session we will commence the grading where we will work through the material. The grading is nothing to worry about and is about demonstrating to the instructors that you know the material and can work through the various situationals. It ensures that the student knows where they are in a system and allows them to move on to the next level material.
Payment of £25 is required and can be paid in cash, cheque (payable to Beyond Technique Ltd) or via payapal to enquiries@beyondtechnique.co.uk. Remember if you pay online to say that it is for the grading and the name of the student. Ideally, all payments should be received in advance of the grading date to minimise administration on the day. If you have any questions please contact me by e-mail at enquiries@kravmagaedinbrugh.com or 07809157200.

2009-11-09T02:17:00.000-08:00

On Wednesday Criag spoke to the guys about the female defensive triangle and worked on the footwork off forehand and then backhand attacks. He then added the straight blast limb destruction to the exercise again both forehand and backhand. Moving on from that adding a pass through after a some elbow strikes and into the rear neck whip emphasizing being in control of the take down and scanning your arcs at all times. Craig has a extensive military and close protection background so you are gaining a lot of real world experience from him - milk it.

TONIGHT @ KRAV MAGA GLASGOW

2009-10-30T12:25:00.000-07:00

Tonight the guys were give the syllabus for the first three Krav Maga levels. So we started working through and consolidating the level 1 material. Lets get level 1 nailed and move on. Great effort.

LAST NIGHT @ KRAV MAGA GLASGOW

2009-10-22T00:36:00.000-07:00

After the warm up we went straight into a take down and looked at how we could use that off our standard 360 defence. After that we looked at dealing with close range knife threats and working them on the live and dead side. We used the standard KM disarm and looked at how we could apply this from a variety of positions.

TONIGHT AT KRAV MAGA GLASGOW

2009-10-14T14:31:00.000-07:00

Tonight we worked on developing our core combatives. We quickly looked at the first Tactical Edge comset which is striking with an eye spear and then quickly into a head tilt. We then looked at how we deal with grabs and head butts in the Tactical Edge curriculum. Then we flipped back to Krav Maga and looked at how the IKMF style KM deals with defending a headbutt then looked at some other KM methods for defending this attack. We then looked at a situation where we were overwhelmed by an attack and we were in a vertical foetal position. We kept covered and kicked out on the low line and turned the attacker. Very similar to how a boxer comes out from being pinned in the corner. Great effort by all the guys.

Self Defence Seminar

2009-10-09T01:59:00.001-07:00

Remember guys that we are hosting a self-defence seminar at Energy Gym on the 17Th October. This will be a great way of fine tuning your skills and giving you a head start for future gradings. If you are a beginner it will be an excellent introduction to self defence and what goes on at Krav Maga Edinburgh.

if you have any questions about the seminar please drop email

Self defence seminar in Edinburgh

2009-09-29T08:23:00.000-07:00

LAST NIGHT AT KRAV MAGA GLASGOW

2009-09-24T05:21:00.000-07:00

Last night we worked replacement hooks borrowing from Tactical Edge. We looked at how we could imbolise a hand if it was pushing us and then working our striking tools. After this we looked at small joint manipulation and how Krav Maga deals with defending impact weapon attacks. Great effort by all.

THIS WEEK AT KRAV MAGA GLASGOW

2009-09-18T01:33:00.000-07:00

This week we looked at entries and how we could safely enter from being kicked. We also looked at the Krav Maga response for dealing with edged weapon threats. We will concentrate on active attacks next week. Remember that classes will now run from 8-9pm.

LAST NIGHT @ KRAV MAGA GLASGOW

2009-09-10T01:15:00.000-07:00

Last night the guys stepped up the conditioning even though I said we would be having a light warm up. We worked the pads then some multiple opponent drills dealing with headlocks and outside attacks. We looked at the headlock escape in isolation then looked at what happens if when we strike the groin an attacker collapses forward pulling us down with them. Great effort by everyone last night.

LAST NIGHT @ KRAV MAGA GLASGOW

2009-09-04T00:48:00.000-07:00

Last night we worked our striking then onto defending a headlock from the side and the various methods of prevention. We looked at defeding round kicks and also had time to look at a choke from behind. More on this next week. Excellent effort guys see you all at the same time, same place next week.

LAST NIGHT @ KRAV MAGA GLASGOW

2009-08-27T05:47:00.000-07:00

Last night we worked on core combatives and added in two takedowns. We then worked these takedowns as part of a scenario. We worked some tactile sensitivity in that we were trying to take control of the opponents head when we were in a position of disadvantage and we couldnt see the guys head. We were working in close as if we had been overwhelemed and were now in a vertical phoetal position. We then looked at two methods for defending against kicks. Just before finish we worked against defending headlocks and then looked at how the movements we learned earlier apply to so many different attacks. You just have to use your imagination and you can be defending against most attacks with minimal movements. Good effort, see you all next week.

LAST NIGHT AT KRAV MAGA GLASGOW

2009-08-20T02:17:00.000-07:00

We worked core combatives on the pads and drilled them against an opponent. We then went on to work the 360 defence taking care of outside lines of attack. We then drilled these as situationals and also added in a takedown from Tactical Edge towards the end. Everyone worked really hard. See you next week guys.

KRAV MAGA GLASGOW TRAINING

2009-08-14T06:45:00.000-07:00

last night we concentrated a lot of the class on striking then looked at defending the most common attacks. We looked at using common objects to defend ourselves. For example we looked at the family of shields which could be a bag or a chair. We looked at using this to defend an attack against a stick. We will be building on this in the coming weeks.

LAST NIGHT @ KRAV MAGA GLASGOW

2009-08-06T02:30:00.001-07:00

We worked heavily on developing our strikes on the focus pads. We then looked at some scenarios where we are pre-emptive striking. Simply to develop our flow in an attack. Pre-emptive striking is not for the majority of people however, it's a good tool in class. We then looked at escaping from a healock and then then how we could deal with the situation when we are in a headlock and the attacker is punching us. We then looked at another favourite escape using the bite. We finished off defending against a hooking punch. Great class and a great effort by all. See you next week guys.

TONIGHT @ KRAV MAGA GLASGOW

2009-07-29T13:38:00.000-07:00

Tonight we started working combatives on the pads then looked at an entry and takedown. We then looked at dealing with a static front and side choke and how these situations may arise. Simply put, we are caught on the hop, either we haven't maintained our personal space or we are faced with multiple attackers in the interview section of the encounter and we haven't controlled this properly allowing one of the attackers to get his hands on us. We then advanced the technique by using the attacker who was choking us as a barrier against another attacker when we played this as a multiple opponent drill. We then went to the floor and looked at a choke from the ground. Excellent effort guys.

LAST NIGHT@ KRAV MAGA GLASGOW

2009-07-23T02:08:00.000-07:00

Last night we worked on our combatives then looked at 3 scenarios. Straight attacks and the principles behind defending them. Outside attacks, chokes and ground and pound. We looked at the KM response and we looked at how we could tactically advance the technique by borrowing from other systems. Sometimes, It's just not enough to look to exit and we have to do something that ensures our safety. Great effort by all the guys.

Tactical Edge comes to Edinburgh

2009-07-22T02:34:00.000-07:00

LAST NIGHT @ KRAV MAGA GLASGOW

2009-07-09T02:25:00.000-07:00

After the warm up we worked straight and hooking palm strikes on the pads. We then went on to look at close range striking when an attacker is behind us and then looked to either exit or take control. We worked on the 360 defence against circular punches and knife attacks. We then finished off dealing with some close range knife threats.

TONIGHT @ KRAV MAGA GLASGOW

2009-07-01T14:16:00.000-07:00

Tonight we worked on straight and hooking palm heel strikes on the pads then we jumped into Tactical Edge and worked on our limb destruction drill. The purpose of the limb destruction is to destroy the closet weapon to us which is the arm when the attacker is striking us. When we destroy the limb you get a cross extensive reflex action which takes the opposite hand out of the equation for a fraction of a second. This allows us to counter attack uninterrupted. We then came off this drill and worked on defending circular attacks and we added in various takedowns. We finished off defending against stick attacks. See you all next week.

TONIGHT @ KRAV MAGA GLASGOW

2009-06-24T13:26:00.000-07:00

Kicked of with a warm up and then some striking on the pads to develop our tools. We went back over clothing grabs, defending headbutts and defending when we are grabbed and the attacker then strikes us. We also looked at dealing with a choke from the front and choke from the side. We looked at the concept of using our environment instead of hurting our hands and we managed to sneak in a couple of take downs from Tactical Edge.

KRAV MAGA GLASGOW FIRST CLASS DOWN

2009-06-17T13:27:00.000-07:00

Tonight was the first class and a big welcome and well done to everyone that came and trained. We started with a quick warm up and then went on to work palm heel strikes, knees and elbows on the pads. We then looked at dealing with a circular attack, in this case a hooking punch. We used the standard block and simultaneous counter strike followed by other strikes and then looked at balance disruptions. We then then looked at taking control of an opponent to use as a shield in the case of multiple attackers. We then looked at a takedown and worked this from a hooking strike. Just time to catch your breathe and it was on to dealing with clothing grabs. We finished the night with a multiple attacker scenario starting with a clothing grab and as you were dealing with that attacker his mate tries to knock you out with a haymaker! So everyone learned a bunch of tools and a whole load of concepts ranging from verbal de-escalation, the use of human shields and tactics for multiple attacks. See you all next week.
