Well as mentioned before I am an avid Krav Maga follower. The self defense system that developed in Israel has really intrigued me and I found it to be the most sensible and effective of the lot. So it was quite a pleasant surprise for me to know that KMG aka KRAV MAGA GLOBAL was doing a seminar in Bangalore. In addition to that it was to add 4 CEU's to my ISSA certification! Thanks Dilip for letting me know!
The Krav Maga seminar was help at the Catholic Club and the highlight was Grand Master Eyal Yanilov himself was there to do the session. Talk about jumping at a chance to learn! KMG is Eyal Yanilov's program. Its been introduced in India by Elroy Vaz. I also met fellow ISSA trainer Sandeep Jayakumar there and got introduced to one of Sandeep's students, Priya Mukherjee.
Before I get into what the session was like I have to say the KMG India team was quite efficient and friendly. They worked with the people there patiently through most of the drills and have sound knowledge on not only Krav Maga but also how to instruct in it. To the KMG team - Thanks a ton guys. I was definitely comfortable with the level of expertise and the way you guys train and instruct.
The session got underway with Eyal giving us a bit of a background about Krav Maga and why its so effective. As usual the info and knowledge part is quite important and it made the practical understanding easier.
The practical session got underway with warmups and mobility drills. I was pleasantly surprised because most other trainings and martial arts placed this huge demand on me for the warmups itself. The warmups were challenging but not to a point where I was already drained for the session! I learnt a lot of warm up routines at this seminar
We then went to the real thing. The actual self defense scenarios. Eyal was breaking it down bit by bit on why and how to carry out a strike and what to look for in situations. One thing I can say about Eyal is he is one of the best instructors out there. It was so easy to understand. He would demonstrate and then we would run the drills with our partners. Sandeep and me had pretty much teamed up by this time. We did change sparring partners every now and then.
The session ended with the participants receiving a Seminar certification and then after that photos!
By the time we were done I had a great training session, was much more knowledgeable and definitely thrilled at the opportunity to the seminar
For those of you interested in Eyal's program it is online and you can get it by going to my resources page.
