How come nobody does squats to exhaustion? Just curious....

Defensive Tactics for Department Personnel: two session, 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm, and 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm. I went with the Krav Maga material for these sessions, starting with combatives (punches, palm strikes, hammerfists, A-frame kicks and defensive front kicks). I also worked on fighting position from the knees and on the back. I did some drills with hammerfists, going from standing, to kneeling, to on the back, to getting up tactically and back into standing hammerfists. I also introduced the clinch position we used, crashing in from punches to clinch, to knees and clearing out. Also worked the kicks from the ground, to get up tactically, fighting into the clinch, etc. I tried to get lots of reps going into the combatives stuff. We also did choke from the front defense and choke from behind defense.

I'm really excited about teaching this curriculum, and I think what I have learned in GRACIE will shore up anything that I would need from the ground. Krav has some ground defenses that I like, but I like having the other options from GRACIE as well. The main problem I'm having is getting good attendence at training. I had two for my first class, and three for my second session. If I'm going to keep building, then I really need more of our guys showing up. I'm not sure how I'm going to handle that yet.

Usually because their muscles will be burning like crazy before exhaustion.

Also in the EP (Exercise Physiology) world we tell clients to stop when their form starts to drop. And that is irregardless of what exercise their doing
