Tuesday at Krav Maga Edinburgh

Last night the beginners class looked at defending against a variety of hand and clothing grabs. I explained the way that Eyal Yanilov teaches these and the mentality behind them. You are trying to make release and look as passive as possible. It’s a low level threat and we are trying to keep things from escalating and therefore we have to pay attention to our tactical response ( body language, verbal). Again, we looked at a different response if we felt the threat justified going that little bit further. The intermediate class revised some of the same material we then went on to look at pre-emptive striking, some set ups and some excellent methods for gaining a fast entry.
