Thumos Krav Maga

After another fun week last week training on the use of common objects (in this case looking at using a stick against someone with a knife) as well as more sparring drills with a big focus on footwork and movement,we are back again tonight to keep the pace going and continue to build both our fighting and self defense skills 👊⚔️

The sun is out and training this week continues starting tonight, looking forward to another great week of developing our self defence and fighting skills 👊⚔️

The end of another great week of training at Thumos. After last weekends national testing (a big shout out to our own Anto who successfully passed his P2 grading), we started this week off by looking at dealing with knife threats and attacks on the ground (a very dangerous and difficult position to be in),then later in the week we began our block of training on sparring and sparring fundamentals,looking forward to developing these skills and more over the next couple of months 👊⚔️

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 👊⚔️
