Yeah, Alex, it was rep city for sure. But, I learned a ton.

Police Krav Maga Instructor Course: Day 5, Test Day. Did a bit of weapon retention in the holster to start, then went right into review for the test. And we went hard. And fast. And intense. After a that, probably an hour or so of review, we took a break, then did the physe test. Lots of striking, combatives, self-defense, hand gun and long gun disarms and retention. Then, a final zig-zag drill, where the attacker would just call out with an attack at random, and you had to go, hard, fast, intense, with verbal commands. I was beat after 15 stations....mentally and physically exhausted...and I loved it! We finished with the written test, received our certificate, and that was it. Lots of fun, and recertification will be a blast, too!

I took home so many bruises and bumps and scrapes from this training. I'm sure my department will love it, too!
