New Directions - Krav Maga
It was only a couple of weeks ago that I quit Kyokushin Karate, but I immediately began researching what other martial arts were available in my local area that also fitted my goals better.
I quickly discovered the world of Krav Maga, the Isreali self-defense system and thought this might be what I was after. I was fortunate to find a local school and tried the first three introductory classes, and I loved it.
We have a good physical work out at the start of class, I'm sweating and puffing, then we learn how to defend against different kinds of attacks and there's lots of repitition so that eventually the moves will be automatic.
I'm so glad I found Krav Maga. It fits into my life, I don't have to fit into someone else's sub-culture.

Hey mate, it's good to hear you're enjoying the Krav Maga, and I hope after a month or so now your sentiments haven't changed too much. In actual fact I was wondering where abouts you train, as I was looking to train in Canberra in the future, and wanted to hear what some of the locals had to say about the KM establishments.
Dave Sargent runs the Canberra class, which is great. His contact details are here:
