This is a video from Krav Maga Video Mix Master Greg Shindig Shindler. Greg put this video together back in November of 2010. It’s a video of the level one test for Krav Maga. This was the first level one test held in Westlake. The drill featured is a fatigue drill, based on fighting spirit and not quitting. This drill is not about good technique, power, or precision. By the time the members were thrown into this drill they had already experienced about three to four tough hours.

Big props to Greg Shindler on the video.

This is why I appreciate John. He’s not afraid to say ‘I don’t know’ to a question. As a martial artist and as an instructor it’s vital to admit you don’t know everything. To admit that all techniques can be improved. To never be afraid to say I don’t know, or let’s try it this way.

Martial arts is an evolving process, both in the individual and in the system.

Came across this video and found myself really amused. I’m not suggesting this couldn’t be effective combat strikes, I just find them a tad funny looking. Plus, the video made Diego laugh. One more thing I’d like to add about the visual properties of a martial arts. In China they say the if your Kung Fu looks pretty then it can’t work in the real world. Well, this video shows an ugly martial art, yet looks like it could be effective.
