Good evening folks!
Tuesday stats:
Krav M Womens I: 60 min
Lordy! I learned how to pluck off a choke hold and buck off a 240lb man that was also padded in class today ! Using only our hips ! I was so sore from the weather. I almost tossed in the towel.

Our male attacker/instructor is a big guy. He taught my class the day before. I thought.."I'm toast" Actually it's amazing how strong a women's hips are. EVEN if they are arthritic with plates and screws. Because the attacker leans over with simulated choke hold that gives the woman the upper edge to pluck the hands down and thrust hips up and toss him over or roll him over. Then hammerfists to face and groin. He was fully padded. We had our female partners first. Then onwards to male attack. Last attack was the hardest. But I got through it. I came home hobbling and proceeded to show Art. He was chuckling. I told him to apply force. He was still laughing. Until I tossed him over me and he flew over me. Do NOT try this at home. LOL. He was stunned. Because there was no danger in my back. We had two blankets on ground. I simulated strikes. He started laughing afterwards...he was shocked. He said "Honey, it's safe to assume..you can take care of yourself from female AND male attack"

Very useful for single women to learn in case of a date gone wrong = date rape attempt or flat out violent attack from a male or female. We had about 20 women and it was great. They were all sizes and arthritic, healthy, or what not health issues..and they all were able to get through it!

Last free womens class is next week then it's charged. I think i'll be adding it permanently and keep the krav I too. I told Art to beware of these mighty chicken wings of mine now!

GOOOOOO TEAM!!!

Bear wrestling! Eek! You see I can buck off a 250lb male attacker but I am petrified of bears...AND snakes are not my friends. Had a terrible run in with rattlesnakes when Sofie was a wee baby bug at our old home! I'll stick to Krav for now !!

you sound like you're having a great time with these classes! way to kick some AS!

Tuesday: walk 2 miles (40 minutes)

Ah shucks...I knocked a bear out of a tree with a good sized rock. Now that was a California bear which are just big rats...I wouldn't try that anywhere else.

Eek! Sounds fun?

I'd be too chicken to spar with a giant guy, but I'm glad you're doing it, because it totally encourages me to try and do more!

Go TEAM!

WHAT?!?! I'm starting to agree with your wife... the crazy part.

Did 32 minutes on the elliptical this morning.

The kid that was killed by the bear was camping with his family. The bear ripped the tent open and dragged the kid out, and killed him. I am guessing he had food in the tent. The bear was killed a couple of days later.

thanks sue. i can barely walk today. :hol2:bleh. we have fog at 240 pm over here and muggy weather is killing my joints. then weather is supposed to drop down to 20's! go figure!!

Well, hello ka friends ..thought i'd post a pic of my chicken wings aka biceps. they have toned up quite a bit. i'd say they've moved up from bb guns to pellet guns!

Of course my children cant stop laughing when i tell them how lethal these chicken wings are.

Goooo team!!
