this week was conditioning week for Krav Maga and Jr. Krav Maga. It is interesting to see what Sensei Brochu will cram into the half hour that the kids have when he has about an hour for the adults in the mornings. We definitely do much more than the kids. Eva is one of the highest ranked kids on Tuesdays and Thursdays so she often is asked to demonstrate with Sensei. Today she demonstrated for the class and during the demonstration Sensei asked her to do a flying knee. she tried and landed flat on her back. I got it on video.

I am still kicking my self for missing the time that she did all the ground work so well. Of course I get in trouble with her for catching her fall on video. But then she did a bunch of self defense so very well and I got that on video too. Today’s photo is an image pulled from that video. You can also see Andy in the background working on groundwork. Andy si looking good too with their hips up as they kick the kick shield. I also bought a kick shield today. We did not have one and now we do for some work this Summer.

This morning at my Krav Class Sensei Brochu let me know that I passed my Black Belt Pre-Test and I can continue my journey towards earning my black belt in June. I was almost not there because I had poorly written my age 49 on my paper. It looked more like 41. Because of that my 100% in Squats was a lower number. Once everything was recalculated I was much closer to that 80% number. I am going to have to step up my pushups and also get better in my plank and do a faster run.

This afternoon Andy was the only foundational member so Andy partnered with Eva for the warm up.
