Boot Camp
Krav Maga Combatives run a six day intensive boot camp every two months in the picturesque location of the Costa Brava (beautiful coast) in Cataluñya, mainland Spain.
The price is inclusive of lights from and to the U.K, transport from Barcelona airport to the training location, accommodation, food and insurance.
This is an ideal location for a week of combative training due to the year round mild climate and although it sometimes rains, the weather normally allows us to train outside from early morning until nightfall and beyond.
Training
The training takes place on one of the many local beaches, on the sand or the paved areas overlooking the beaches. This provides a vital touch of realism to combatives training, because in a real episode of interpersonal violence you will never have the luxury of 40mm judo mats or the smooth training surface common to the gym or dojo.
A typical day begins at 08.00 hrs with a road run along the scenic coast followed by our now "infamous" combat conditioning circuits on the beach - these are grueling, functional fitness workouts that will push you to your limits!
Allowing participants to get their breath back, we begin with striking chain drills on the thai pads, focus mits and kick shields, teaching students how to utilise full bodyweight when striking an assailant and build up an arsenal of effective combinations.
We also include many aggression and stress drills that push your cardio and simulate the combat stress (adrenaline response) most often experienced during a violent encounter.
After a healthy lunch of local organic produce, we continue with escape combatives or techniques for defending against common attacks such as grabs, holds, headlocks, chokes e.t.c.
Defence against punches, kicks, knees and elbows are also drilled with the emphasis being place on turning the defence to an offence in as quick a time as possible.
Drills against multiple attackers 2,3 or more, some armed are also undertaken.
Defence against armed assailants is also covered and is an integral part of our system.
Armed with:
• Pistols/handguns
• Knives/edged weapons
• Sticks/bats
• Bottles/glasses/ashtrays
Warrior Mindset.
Few krav maga or combatives groups cover this. In Krav Maga Combatives it is important as any physical technique that we teach - understanding the combative or warrior mindset, it is an aspect of training and preperation that we take extremley serious.
During the Boot Camp there is a three hour presentation that consists of:
• Studies of real attacks (videos of violent assaults, stabbings e.t.c)
• Situational awareness presentation
• Understanding the dynamics and levels of violence
• Understanding the stress response reaction (adrenaline response)
• The O.O.D.A loop and its relevance to combatives
