Krav Maga



Recommended Posts

I've seen this mentioned on the "Self Defense" thread but wanted to share with all of you some more information on the subject.

Prior to my having surgery, my husband and I took Krav Maga classes for a few months before our schedules forced us to quit. Now that things have lightened up a bit, we will be resuming our classes very soon. The class is 1 hour long and kicks your A**!! You're constantly moving and the sweat just pours off of you. I would recommend it to anyone interested in an intense workout.

Krav-Maga (translates to Contact Combat) is the highly effective battle tested Israeli system of self defense, fighting skills and defensive tactics.

This is OT, sorry. Tricia, is that a new avatar? It looks similar to the one you've had in composition but, my goodness!, you look skinny, skinny, skinny! I'd love to see your lastest picture on the "Before and After" thread!

Looking good!

Yes, it is a new avatar. I just put it up a few minutes ago. Thank you so much for the sweet comment. :huggie:

If I could find my digicam, I'd take updated photos and post them on the Before & After Photos thread. But, for now, I have to make do with my cell phone camera. I'm not sure I could get decent full-body shots with it though...ugh!!

Hi Tricia

I have been doing the Krav-maga now for 2 months

I have now come to the point where I can actually go through the full hour without even stopping major NSV. I love it Usually after this workout and a half I will go to the Gym and do some weight training. It really motivates you but it does Kick your @ss

OT

I have no idea who Krag Marva is but I wanted to say that my mom is 68 years old and does kick boxing. Her biggest thrill last week was learning how to flip someone in a self defense move.

She also recently went skydiving.. that rotten biotch did it before I did!

Ok. Back on Topic now.

Love the bun Tricia. :huggie:

LOL @ Susan! You silly woman. Krav Maga isn't a person, it's a form of Israeli military training taught here in the US to civilians as well as police officers, FBI agents, military personnel, etc.

Wow @ your mom taking kickboxing. That's impressive. And the skydiving thing...I desperately want to go. My nephew went for his 18th birthday a few weeks ago and I'm sooooo jealous!

*shakes her Librarian Buns again*

Skydiving and riding lessons (horse) are both on my list of MUST DO's when I get thin enough. I wouldn't qualify to go tandum skydiving yet (weight wise) and I wouldn't do that to a poor horse. But when I hit goal, I will.. mark my words.. I WILL!

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
