My personal experience with Krav Maga. (self.martialarts)

TheSolarian が 23時間前投稿

I've been to one class total. It was okay. It was specifically a beginners class, tailored to that, and I'd say all around wasn't completely terrible.

The training wasn't very intense physically by my standards, but was definitely pushing the comfort zones of the vast majority of the class who were clearly not exactly in shape by and large.

I'd say bonus points for tailoring it to that level, despite what other people might think.

Some of their drills were interesting, some of them weren't that great.

The instructor seemed like a decent enough person, but the way he was teaching the hook didn't sit well with me, and the footwork appeared non-existent, but again, beginner class so I didn't care very much about that.

For the class I was at, the majority of the fighting stuff, was pad work with a few drills. Nothing wrong with any of it, nothing too out of the ordinary either.

Again, beginner's class, so I didn't really see a problem with that.

At the same time they had the advanced class in another section of the school who were doing kickboxing with a lot more yelling that I was used to when I did Muay Thai, and a lot more "EVERYONE DO PUSHUPS ON THEIR KUNCKLES WHILE WEARING BOXING GLOVES." which, while I found that a bit odd, hey, good for them. They were doing full contact sparring with head gear and gloves and such, so no one could say they weren't doing 'live' training.

The instructor was a bit weirded out by me, but then, I'm a weird guy anyway, and I found the tacticool speak a bit unusual, but hey, it's their thing.

Maybe that school was exceptional, maybe it wasn't. Anyway, my overall judgement of Krav Maga from personal experience was "Not too terrible, and probably a good idea for people looking to learn some basic skills."

Maybe other schools are better, maybe some are worse, who knows?

However, I have to wonder whether you realise that, in the majority of your posts and comments, you tend to come across as a tad more abrasive and arrogant than might be necessary.

And?

I do think it's unfair that you get downvoted pretty much automatically, but I also think you'll find that people will be much more receptive to your arguments if you tone down the attitude a little bit.

Popularity contests, have never interested me overly much. /r/martialarts has a generally fairly, well, shit attitude and that's not going to change in a hurry.

Honestly, this isn't meant to personally disparage you at all, but only to offer my perspective on communicating effectively online.

I find I communicate, offline or otherwise, just fine with people who aren't, well, immature fuckwits with zero experience.

People want to downvote? Hey, that's fine. They can do whatever they want anyway.

Already insulting the very audience you're trying to reach out.

Immediately placing yourself above others in an exceptional strawman.

Both parts of your post are about placing yourself above someone (or them below you or the norm). You're insanely judgemental. Somebody who tries to self-validate THAT much can't have a history of validation from others. So I'm guessing you're used to this type of ostracisation.

Maybe you can just keep telling yourself that it's others (as you are above) or accept that you are, as you are right now, thoroughly fucking unlikeable.

Fuck off if we're 'a bunch of overly sensitive milk drinkers'.

Eh, people can do whatever they like.

Having experience, isn't exactly impossible. I've noticed that there are those that do, and they say similar things.

You're insanely judgemental.

Eh, not really.

So I'm guessing you're used to this type of ostracisation.

Only with the inexperienced on the internet. Or the overly sensitive. Or the circlejerk types.

Not bothered any of it really.

Still, that'd be why I've noticed that people who actually seem quality, take a look around, and make the comment I've come to see as quite valid, namely that /r/martialarts is generally speaking, a circlejerk where opposing views are met with hordes of downvotes from the ignorant and inexperienced.

Maybe you can just keep telling yourself that it's others (as you are above) or accept that you are, as you are right now, thoroughly fucking unlikeable.

Maybe you can stop being such an overly sensitive milk drinker, grow up, and while you're at it, develop a sense of humour.

It's not impossible you know.

But hey, if you want to keep getting your feelings hurt because you don't like what people say, or how they say it, on the internet, you can go right the fuck ahead buddy.

You may, sooner or later, learn your lesson.

Or not.

Do whatever you like!

Nobody was saying you have to stop doing it. Just that in doing so, you're INSANELY unlikeable.

As for

You may, sooner or later, learn your lesson.

You're acting like those Seven Mountains guys, except instead of drinking their kool aid you're just delusionally justifying your own incapacity to socialise.

You can assume everybody just disagrees with you - truth is there's very little likeable about your insanely isolating (against yourself, by the way) personality for people to want to associate with you in the first place.

It's not even a matter of having feelings hurt. You're not hurting anybody's feelings by being deluded in this manner, you're just being really obviously a cunt.

There's a lot of you though, and they generally never get anywhere.

Go to your mother and ask her for some milk then.

Whoah. Them's actual fighting words, especially when in fact....it is YOU that are acting like the Seven Mountains guys, except, instead of drinking their kool aid you're just delusionally justifying your own incapacity to get a grip, not lose your mind over the trivial, actually think and all the rest of that stuff.

This is the point where I'd stroke my long white beard, thunder would crack in the background, and I would say "The top of the mountain is a rarefied atmosphere!" if this were a kung fu movie, but it's not, so I'm just going to point out that you're carrying on like a whining child.

It's not even a matter of having feelings hurt. You're not hurting anybody's feelings by being deluded in this manner, you're just being really obviously a cunt.

You certainly seem upset.

Projecting much?

Well, look at you with a fucking opinion. You're a great guy, and totally not a complete dickhead jumping the gun.

Now, if you'd actually bothered to think before posting, you might take a look the fuck around and notice that pretty much everyone on here shits on Krav Maga on a regular basis, when they haven't done any.

But, because you decided to post without thinking or having a clue (very common practice on here) you don't have the slightest clue what the fuck you're talking about.

Because I had such an excellent coffee today, I will take pity on your wretched ignorance and inform you what the point was.

Most comments on Krav Maga on this place are: It's totally shit.

Those are comments with zero experience, like say, you.

My comment, with one lesson of personal experience is: Hey, it wasn't that bad.

Anytime you are going to waste the time of a business owner and somebody trying to teach others, for shits and giggles, makes me think that person, especially in martial arts, is asking for a beating.

If we caught you doing that at one school I used to train and teach at we'd toss you in the ring with one of our better students, take your belt if you've managed to earn one, to teach you a lesson before banning your ass from the school entirely. I've seen it done before.

And there are a lot of schools that take themselves that seriously. I had 67 contusions, broken ribs, and a broken tailbone from my 1st dan at one particular school. the 1v1 1v2, 1v3, 1v4 consecutive fight were brutal, especially if they were trying to make a point to you.

So yeah, be careful with your attitude, it might wind up with you hospitalized, unfortunately.

Or maybe not, but you seem like you could use a good beating by some peers to check your attitude.

My idea of shits and giggles, may differ quite markedly from your own. Try and think about what I might consider 'fun'. Then settle down, lean slowly back from the keyboard and say 'Oh....'.

Wooo. Scary. Which school was that exactly?

Or maybe not, but you seem like you could use a good beating by some peers to check your attitude.

Five bucks says you wouldn't talk this in real life, at all. I however, would. So many times I've met people like you, and they have precisely never acted like this, while I still act the same.

The difference is, that in real life, you'd get it which you're clearly not at the moment.

You probably also have more of a sense of humour in real life, actually bother to listen, don't jump the gun, can see the context of what I'm talking about, and a hundred or so other things that leads to non-dickhead behaviour in real life.

Eh, you're probably just having a bad day.
