Kettlebell class

Having Naomi and Louis in my class for an hour, and headed to Krav Maga class.
Fairly physical week day.

Midsection, core stability is fairly important for kicking and punching skill.
I do believe stomach is the central control area of both kick and punch. In another words if you have this control area, you can throw punch and kick whenever you want. Even kick and punch simultaneously, may be possible.

A lot of people who lacks this control area, telegraphs whether it is punch or kick.

Recently, some of Krav Maga practitioners envy my skills. However of the followings, it is obvious that I'm better.

1. You practice Krav Maga for couple years and tennis before that, I have 6 years and 11 months experience.
2. I've been knocked out at least 15 times in 6 years and 11 months. Not of courage but I have lots of failure experience.
3. My ground fighting skill is good because in the past I've been beaten pretty badly. I tapped out 5 times in 5 minutes.
4. I train at least 5 days a week with kettlebells, body weight training, and Krav Maga training while a person confronting me has couple weeks abscence of any physical activities.

Having said that, this person who's been practicing Krav Maga for couple years, probably is better skilled than myself at point of 4 experience in Krav Maga.
