The ability to simplify means to eliminate the unnecessary so that the necessary
can speak.
This really is the basis of Krav Maga. Imi, the original designer of the Krav Maga
system, believed
that the KISS (keep it simple stupid) method was the best way to teach real self
defense to
everyone quickly. Eliminating the unnecessary, no fancy movements or strikes that
take years of
practice to perfect. The idea that this is a brutal system is true, however the
system is designed for
use only if it is in self-defense not offense. This is the voice of the necessary,
surviving an attack.

from KAT
As our program is growing, so is our training space. As of Monday the 11th, we
will be in our newly
expanded space in the basement. This is very exciting, as it has been very cozy.
We plan to fill
up this new space with many challenging workouts plus lots of strength work. Come
down and
see what is happening in Crossfit. Now is a fantastic time to get started. Talk
to Kat to learn how to
get started, or with any questions.
Congratulations to Kevin Wong who recently completed his TRX Certification. Kevin
is joining the
coaching staff and has started assisting in TRX and Crossfit classes.

When and how did I first hear about Krav?
I first heard of Krav Maga in 2004 from Mike Kuperman. He knew I was interested
in martial
arts and was raving about how he found this really cool new place in San Francisco.
How long have you been a member and what level have you reached?
The funny story is that I wanted to join immediately but circumstances prevented
me from doing so for over a year.
First I hurt my foot and had to postpone joining for a couple of months, then the
day before my scheduled first
class I found out I was pregnant with my first son, and thus had to postpone for
10 more months. Finally I joined
in April of 2005! I loved it! Krav Maga was love at first fighting stance for me!
And just as I was ready to take my
Yellow Belt test, I found out I was pregnant with my second munchkin, so I had to
postpone the test and stick to
Bag Class (just to keep it safe, since bags can't hit you back) until I was ready
for the break. Came back a couple
of months later and have been here ever since. I enjoy taking various courses here
at Krav and have been an orange
belt for a couple of years now; however, I am nearly ready to move on to the next
level and hope to be doing so
shortly! LEVEL 4 YOU'RE MINE
What is your favorite class and why?
This question is incredibly difficult to answer. I appreciate each and every class
offered here at KMSF for
its unique dynamic. I love the physical challenges of Conditioning and TRX, but
I also greatly enjoy the
mental stimulation of Krav Maga as well as the opportunities train in both fighting
stances at Bag Class.
What is your most memorable training story?
Well, let's see.... Maybe it's the time a couple of new kids vomited in class? Or
the time when a training
visitor was practicing knee kicks with me and accidently missed the pad I was holding
and kneed
me in the forehead? The great feeling of success I experienced along with a number
of my classmates
when we passed the orange belt test together! Perhaps it's realizing that it would
be nearly impossible for 3
guys to drag me into a car during a drill in Mike's class. All those memories are
great
What's your life like when you are not taking classes?
Well, sometimes I put my Krav Maga knowledge to use and moonlight and a masked superhero
vigilante
in the dark alleys of San Francisco. No wait, that's what I tell me boys when I
leave for my classes at
KMSF in the evening! Actually, I am a full time mom to two very active (I mean
very-very active!)
little boys. One of them thinks he's a werewolf and the other one is sure that
he'll grow up into Optimus
Prime. So I need all the strength and training KMSF can provide me in order to
keep up with them!
I am also an aspiring entrepreneur. I do some business consulting from home, where
I write business
correspondence for small businesses. I am also currently working on possible starting
a small manufacturing project.
