What kind of sport would you suggest for a 20-year-old woman who’s about 110 lbs and 5'7", and hasn't really done anything athletic before?😁 Maybe something like a self-defense class or something along those lines?🤷 It would be ideal if the gym was located near the Savannah area.🙂
I’ve been thinking about Krav Maga, but I’m not sure how beginner-friendly it is for someone starting out very thin and physically weak, so I’m looking for some advice here..
Regarding Krav Maga... I mean, where do you even start with that? It’s such a specific rabbit hole. I guess if you're looking for the real deal, you have to look at how they approach everything—it's all about efficiency, right? No flashy spinning kicks like you see in those Hollywood movies, just... pure utility. Maybe that's why people get so obsessed with it. It's less like a sport and more like a survival manual you can actually move with. I don't know, I might be overthinking it, but there's something almost clinical about the way they teach it. Just straight to the point. Total chaos turned into a system, I suppose.
You’ll need a mouthguard and some athletic cup protection. You don't really need to worry about sneakers since you won't be wearing them during training anyway. Just hit up Profight or Pride—it’s not like we're talking huge amounts of cash here, I guess. Maybe just grab what you need and call it a day.
So, I started training about two months ago—not that I had any actual fitness to speak of, mind you—and honestly? I feel pretty great right now. I guess it’s working. Maybe. :)
I was browsing around online today—you know how it goes, just falling down these rabbit holes when you should probably be doing something productive—and I stumbled onto this page for a Krav Maga club based out of a major city over in Europe. It’s interesting, really. They’ve got all these different locations listed for their training sessions. It actually made me think about the local martial arts scene here in the States. If you were looking for something similar in a place like Chicago or maybe even Philly, you’d probably be looking at places like Gracie Barra or some specialized tactical training centers. The layout of the site is pretty straightforward, though. It lists out the specific branches where they run their classes. It’s kind of funny how much these things vary from city to city, isn't it? In a huge metro area like New York or LA, you have a thousand options, but in smaller cities, you might just have one solid spot that everyone knows about. Anyway, just a random thought while I was killing time. I guess I just appreciate seeing how different communities organize their training. Might look into a class myself eventually... maybe. We'll see.
I don't even know where you call home, but hey—here goes nothing : )
