I’ve joined a Krav Maga club in Barcelona earlier this week. For those of you that don’t know it, Krav Maga is an Israeli developed fighting sport, focused on efficience and without the kata/ki/chi/whatever bullshit found in most asian martial.
The training was tiresome, especially for me, since I’m (a little) out of shape. Or not, since round is also a shape. I’m not in the right shape, anyway
But the hour spent in the gym gave an basic understanding of what Krav Maga is all about: ultimate efficiency.
The club also teaches Krav Maga to private security forces and even to Barcelona’s “Guardia Urbana” police force. It also has a really cool shop with weapons, knifes, urban combat gear, teasers, pepper sprays and so on. And even a Facebook page.
I can’t wait to go there again.
