Remember in Miss Congeniality when Sandra Bullock's character gets on stage and does a brief tutorial in self defense? Well I just experienced the Israeli version called Krav Maga. After putting us through a strenuous workout of running, push ups, sit ups and other exercises that seem to be unique to Israel, we got to learn basic forms of self defense: the proper stance, arm movements, hand configuration and of course the best sensitive spots.
After going through a few drills and watching some demonstrations in which he used a couple of unlucky guys as punching bags we got to pair up and try it on each other. Only problem was my friend and I were too scared of hurting each other for it to be very effective.
