Thumos Krav Maga

Another busy week last week for everyone at Thumos, training during the week worked on some clothing grabs and preventions as well as a lot of focus on developing our kicking skills
Then over the weekend we had our KMG Ireland training weekend with Aidan Ahmet from the KMG global team (a big thanks to Aidan for the training over the weekend and to KMG Ireland director Carl Smullen for organising the event)
A great weekend with a big focus on clinch work as well as curriculum updates for instructors and high level students,looking forward to bringing these new skills into classes this week! 👊⚔️

A busy week last week for the team at Thumos, while lead instructor Jack and capital Krav Maga and Thumos Krav Maga member Kieran were in Germany testing for their next grade under Zeev Cohen and Joni Heinonen from the KMG global team, our members at home were working on a solid ground session with Brian from Naas Krav Maga, we have a strong community within our organisation and whether it’s training abroad or with different clubs or instructors at home, the commitment to training and progression is kept up across the board, with some of our club members testing in the coming weeks training this weeks continue in preparation 👊⚔️

Training this week continues defending side and rear headlocks and recapping some of the work we’ve done since the start of the year , we’ve covered a lot of different topics over the last few months in the lead up to our KMG Ireland weekend at the end of May, looking forward to tying it all together over the next few weeks 👊⚔️

Another week of training ahead continuing with building our skills on the ground, alongside working the fundamentals of defending kicks and punches both standing and on the ground, as well as working on some striking on the ground, going to be a great week ⚔️

Training tonight continues progressing on some positional work on the ground as well as some standing choke releases, leading nicely into some ground choke defenses later on in the week 👊⚔️

We continue our training tonight working on more framing and clinch work and adding in some take downs from these positions, with a set up for some ground work, always a fun session 👊⚔️

All smiles last night as we rounded out training this week- great effort put in by all, working on some of our fundamentals on standing wrestling and the clinch, both attacking and defending from these positions,a great set up for some ground work next week, well done everyone 👊⚔️

After a well earned break for the team we are back tonight-the focus of this week is working the clinch and defending takedowns. As well as being an accomplished boxer, Imi lichtenfeld (the creator of Krav Maga)was a national champion and represented Yugoslavia (as it was at the time) in wrestling, and was also a black belt in Judo. Knowing not only how to take someone down but also how to prevent going to the ground are vital skills for self defence. Going to be another great week of training 👊⚔️

Great training on Saturday with some instructors and high level students from other clubs.

These sessions are a great way to stay sharp and learn from each other.

Naas Krav Maga is back in action this week but times have been adjusted. You will be receiving a message today…

Training for this week starts tonight! Our focus for today is defending stick attacks, like many weapons,stick type objects can be easily acquired from a variety of places by a would be attacker so understanding the principles of defending against a potential attack are a key part of our system, looking forward to another great session! 👊⚔️
