Are Self Defence Classes the Best Workout Possible?
After the Doc told me that I have to knock the rugby on the head due to the Bonk Leg (club foot). I decided I would get back into the martial arts. After searching for self defence classes in South Wales particularly Krav Maga classes, I found the class I was looking for – Total Self Protection, a Krav Maga Class in Merthyr. I have just finished my second class and to be honest, it’s awesome, I signed up as soon as I could.
The class starts with a warm up, which involves a cardio work to raise the body temperature followed by stretching. The worryingly down-to earth and laid back instructors then demonstrate the techniques which seem so effective they can be scary. Tonight finished off with 4 x 30 secs bag work which after it finished I was making noises like a broken accordion and had to breathe in through my arse in order to take up the oxygen deficit.
Apart from the obvious benefits from the personal safety perspective, training as part of a group in a structured manner motivates further than training on your own plus you get the full body workout. I know its early days but I couldn’t recommend it more.
I am looking forward to the next session but I am dreading my kettlebell workout in the morning.
