That's a shame, because the IKMF was a decent Krav organisation when I last trained with them. That was several years ago, so I hope it's not...
I too have found cycling beneficial for cardiovascular fitness.
Outside Israel, I think the issue with Krav Maga has been its dilution through commercialism. I'm saddened to see a good art spoiled. Though it's...
