Krav Maga

I took my first Krav Maga class last night and it was really fun. I was worried about my conditioning because I've been smoking too much lately, but the class is all technique and practice, no conditioning required at all. As advertised, Krav maga is about practical, effective self defensive training, none of that kata and forms bullshit, it's all about knees to groin and elbows to throat and running the fuck away. Just the way I like it.

After that first class, I was cursing the fact I couldn't find a club in Hawaii. The instructor suggested I get certified and start teaching in Hawaii, which isn't a terrible idea and I am adding that to my list of potential post-backpacking-trip career/jobs.
