I need something close to me is this Krav Maga any good?

Due to work commitments I can only do one evening a week and this is 10 minutes walk away but I don't want to waste my time with something that s a cash grab Krav Maga Training | Direct Defence Krav Maga

 

Define "wasting time". It looks like bad MMA but they spar and they are catering to a wide variety of clients (which is good).

Hard to gauge how much they cover pre-confrontational violence and HAOV etc so if it interests you I'd go and ask.

 

Wasting time, as in is it a rubbish teacher etc, I had a bad ninjutsu experience a while back , where the people I was training with we're..... erm not putting much effort in, went to JKD and was amazed people were actually trying to hit me lol, suppose I should just try it

 

Well it looks like a class that'll get your heart rate going. Just looks like MMA done badly. So if nothing else it will raise your heart rate.

 

I think the part where it's something done badly is a bit of a no no , I can get my heart rate up on my own , thing is I am free most daytime now , but cannot find anything

 

I mean, all Krav Maga (unarmed) is bad MMA with a few groin kicks. They might have some other stuff that might interest you.

 

can't hurt to look

 

To be honest, looking like MMA isn't a bad thing, fight training does tend to look like fighting, when fight training doesn't look like fighting, you know something's wrong....

 

I think there’s a big difference between the two instructors: the Expert level 1 instructor should be far more knowledgeable than the Graduate level 1 instructor. G1 is the lowest instructor grade, whereas E1 is much higher.

The club is part of Eyal Yanilov’s organisation and Eyal is often seen as the protégée of Krav Maga’s founder.

 

Cheers

 

I think you should try the Krav class. Instructors vary even within the same organisation, but the fact that it’s under Eyal Yanilov’s organisation bodes well.

Was this JKD under Emil Martirossian in Sussex?

 

no mate it was steve eldridge before he retired from the police, i was quite amazed i was allowed into the police gym lol, they still train once a week in worthing at the boys club i should go back there, but my wife is working evenings and i dont want to leave my daughter alone Worthing Jeet Kune Do

 

If you can't do evenings for JKD, how are you going to do evenings for KM?

 

Its like 5 minutes walk away mate

 

thing is i want to train more than once a week, suppose i could just do loads of bag work at home, footwork etc from what i already have done, i havent done anything for a few years

will do cheers

 

So less time out of the house, something is always better then nothing!
