Aaaaah, the first Krav Maga training session of the year! This time we started with this interesting little game for our warmup. A few of us were given knives. Everyone else had to move around the room. When those with the knives suddenly started slashing and stabbing, you had to get out of their way. The point of it all was to be aware of your surroundings, pay attention to what's going on around you, and to be prepared to react to the unexpected.
The story behind doing this exercise is based on a story that Eyal Yanilov told when he led a seminar here last spring. There was a situation where some guy started stabbing a bunch of people at some shopping center. People just stood there and watched other people get stabbed, until it was their turn to get stabbed. They just stood there and didn't at the very least get the fucking hell away...
The rest of our time was spent going through basic stuff choke defenses and punching and kicking drills. No sadistic drills towards the end of class though (i.e. the Nazi, schizo, etc.) - are the instructors getting soft on us? Hmmm...
Oh, and speaking of reaction, here's a fun little game for you all. Baaaaaaaaa...
