I attended the above seminar cpl weeks ago and although its a two hour drive from Southampton to Redditch it was well worth the effort. How many times do you get to train with a member of the Global Instructor Team (G.I.T) who is also an Expert level 4, not many.

Had a good weekend, one of our long standing students got married and me and some other Kravist went to the reception, very good it was too, bride and groom looked very happy.

Looking forward to Krav Maga on Wednesday and Thursday, always the highlight of my week and then on Saturday we have a sparring workshop which should be fun, or painful, or both.

Not much else has happened in Earls world lately but there are a few Essential Krav Maga events coming up over the next few weeks so will have more to say then, as always be water my friends..........

Good turnout tonight, more regulars coming back week after week and some more new faces, did the hour long Kettlebell session first which was good, and sweaty, then full Krav Maga class dealing with stick attacks, leading to stress training with eyes shut, always tests the techniques, especially when you hit a student with a bag instead of a stick, messes with their minds, hey not a stick, must kick and punch, good fun though. Same again Thursday, ok, be water my friends..........

Hello Krav Maga friends, been a while since i last posted, well here i am again after doing the Kettlebell induction course last weekend, nearly four hours of humping a kettlebell about but well worth the effort, some people dismiss them as a form of exercise but i can tell you for three days after i had muscle soreness in my legs, glutes and lower back, if you have ever trained with weights you know what i mean. Mant Krav Maga Instructors and students around the world use Kettlebells to compliment their Krav, try the next induction, u may be surprised. Be water my friends...........

Another good night at Essential Krav Maga Eastleigh, after the warm up, class split so that beginners and intermediates did bear hug releases, basic punching and kicking techniques, while the higher grades and whoever wanted to to try did gun defences. You cant get a better system of Self Defence than Krav Maga, techniques to cover all scenarios of attack, you learn something new every lesson.

Until next time, probably Sunday after i have recovered from the Kettlebell course, be water my friends........

Well here we go again, another week begins and what an interesting week it is going to be, obviously Krav on Wednesday and Thursday for me, but also the Kettlebell course on Saturday with Haithum, the Gym i go to has a good range of Kettlebells, but without knowing the correct way of exercising with them i have not attempted any lifts, do it wrong and boom, injury, dont want that, get in the way of Krav.

So hopefully the cold i seem to be getting will not hinder me in any way and i will see you in the week and hopefully Saturday, be water my friends............

Well, very good turn out tonight at the Eastleigh class, a few new faces turned up, the new faces from last week turned up eager to learn so all in all a great class. Concentrated on the 360 defence, then followed it up with counter attacks, then common headlock attacks, standing and on the ground, not forgetting the scanning, which of course somebody did forget to scan and we all had to do 20 pressups, got fed up after about 60 though and so did the guys that didnt scan, they will learn, probably the hard way, but will learn.

Hi, this is my first blog on the Essential website, some of you may know me as Earl Krav Maga Grey on Facebook, my ongoing mission is to spread the word of Essential Krav Maga to the many friends i have from around the world on Facebook and let them know we are the number one club in the south of England, hopefully they will tell their friends, who will tell their friends etc etc.
