The real Train and Travel has been started ;-)

On this way a big thanks to Marcus, who did a great „babysitting-job“ the last days. He makes the arrival to a funny and easy thing for all of us! He was there! Thanks.

And also a smiling thanks to Avi, Shlomi and Naomi for the Welcome Session. We feel very welcome in Israel and nobody from us will ever forget that journey. I know this.

Krav Maga is an order of reaction – control – attack.

The day was really long and gone to fast.

The morning started with a big breakfast with all the others. And while we ate there, Marcus introduced us to Avi Moyal and Naomi Cristal. Now I had a face to the nice E-Mails which i got from the HQ.

After the breakfast it went off.

We all gone to the meeting room, of the camp. The desks and chairs standing on the sides and only a round of chairs in the middle. For all of us lay on the right side a shirt and a sweater. Four chairs stands in a little distance to the others. Avi and Shlomi Moyal were allready sitting on these places.

After a short round of introducions and a few words from Avi about the desired behavior during Krav Maga, during the journey and a description of the planned order of events, the trainings started right now.

Krav Maga Civilian with Shlomi Moyal

The training started really funny, because all were running behind each other in a long line and the first of us was Shlomi, how decided the route. Straight – zigzag – round – that confused the one or other.

The whole training with Shlomi was relaxed. Not like „Lie-on-the-beach-and-do-nothing“, but it was simply to understand how, why and what we are actually doing.

Some of us never before did Krav Maga. But for Shlomi was the aim of the day, that we stop to thinking and only follow the reactions our body. A good example was that Training:

• One Partner stands with his back on the wall. The other give beats from outside (360° defence) – the problem … the guy with the back on the wall has to speak about themself. So he is distracted and makes the Defence without thinking.

Some people finished to speak about themself after 2 seconds (I think the life is not so interesting), so Shlomi decided that we have to sing a song ;-)

I realized that we train to the same principles in Cologne. I was not surprised about exercises or expirations. The same total system. It feels like at home and having fun as I know it from the Cologne training hall.

But all the techniques, tips and explanations are just too much, to pack it in such a blog like that. For this experience, which I have the opportunity, I can`t find the right words for make them to understand for outsiders.

Conclusion of the day:

Don`t think about it, what you have to do, let your body decide on the first step.
