Happy Holidays to every one!
Holiday season is here and the muggers and thieves are out more than ever.
According to an article in the SF Chronicle [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?llr=rfujfecab&et=1108919061169&s=6563&e=001C91SpZ9slehJBLHNe1zZWJd6W6ViooGENHCzSAq_c-YhESVCFHH6Z6yxvLYEENKzH3OG0DAlD-Ds5TDzohVlzJ24BohCePKTnsYgmgU4imcMXY-BNxuHGwZ1xpdHk3xLODL4fIIfEn687QEBAHvLODcgHJph7WUVUzh_TbzVlfJ0zlTxgwf2t0GPk6PcNIDBqzhHAJv6BECbJsYwLGDvHg==],
the target this season is smart phones.
There are a few things you can do that will make you less of a target. Put your
phone
away before you leave work, a store, or exit a car. Wait until you are in a back
in a
safe place to use it again. Pay close attention to your surroundings, and be aware
of the people around you. When texting or talking on the phone you cannot do this
because you loose your peripheral vision
Walking down the street holding your phone is like holding your wallet out,
and wearing a sign on your back that says "take my wallet!"
If you are attacked, do not fight to keep the thief from stealing your phone. They
may
have a weapon, or a partner, or both. There are GPS locators that you can buy in
case
your phone is lost or stolen which can help in retrieving the phone, but compared
to the
immediate threat, even that is an after thought. Keep yourself safe this season,
and
remember to pay attention when you are out there shopping.

When & How did you first hear about Krav Maga?
In 2003 a law school classmate told me about Krav Maga. She had been training for
a few months.
I was looking for a good fitness activity, and had a background in martial arts.
We went to
Barney's afternoon class, where I found that -- despite being half my weight --
she could throw
harder punches than me. Then I learned the defense to a choke from the front with
a push and I was hooked.
What's your favorite aspect of Krav Maga training?
The thing I like best about Krav Maga training is how smart it is. Because reacting
to an attack
quickly with an effective technique can make all the difference, Krav Maga doesn't
include any more techniques than are necessary to deal with attacks. What this
means is,
if the same technique can be used to deal with two, three, or four different types
of attacks, we
practice using the same or a similar technique in all those situations. That's
brilliant because it
cuts down on reaction time.
Another smart thing I like about Krav Maga is that the defensive techniques are
taught cumulatively.
For example, in the early curriculum I learned headlock and bear hug defenses.
The object
of those techniques is to eliminate the threat and counterattack, preventing the
aggressor
from wrestling me down or lifting me from my feet. But what if I'm unsuccessful
in
applying those techniques? Well, as the curriculum continued, I learned further
defenses
to use if I fail and end up on the ground, or get picked up for a body slam. Very
smart stuff.
How long have you been training for and what level have you reached?
I have trained at Krav Maga San Francisco since 2002, and am a level 3 student.
I have had a few
lengthy breaks from training due to the demands of my work, but I always come back.
What's your most memorable Krav Maga test or training story?
It has to be the first time I saw Barney humble a big strong student. It happens
from time to time in
any fighting school that a big strong student will try to use his strength to foil
the techniques that
the instructor is teaching. I believe Barney was teaching how to buck, trap and
roll an attacker
who has you in a mount and is throwing punches. In this case, the big strong student
was trying to
resist the technique by sitting back, keeping his weight on Barney's hips, and throwing
fake punches that never would have connected in a real fight. Barney's response
was to
explain, and then demonstrate with gusto, that if an attacker leans back and isn't
throwing effective
punches, one good tactic is to target his groin. It sticks with me as a reminder
that there is
often a way to overcome a much bigger attacker. I think the big guy learned something
too.
What's your life like when you're not taking classes?
My law firm is called de Larios-Heiman & Bercovitz, LLP [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?llr=rfujfecab&et=1108919061169&s=6563&e=001C91SpZ9slehW2SborPiGMZTnKw17PBQ6Hit6EbSBxaDjgYoDPs8yzurQb-7RB2aujNAV1IajWAj7dS8EweOH3ha5L21r2iZpjULSF8Yxns0=].
We are a lean,
scrappy operation, with a small office located in the Mission district. We offer
representation
in business formation, business transactions, landlord-tenant suits, personal injury,
and medical
malpractice. I spend a lot of time there. When not at the office, I'm trying to
keep up with my energetic
wife, who is also an attorney and martial artist.
