Reckless? Annoying? Hardcore? Yes Thrice.


There is a certain to-be-left-unnamed person in Krav who, I think, gets a bad rap for being careless and uncoordinated and just generally unsafe. I would argue that she is truly HARDCORE.
  • Has she ever gotten hurt? NO
  • Does she skip sparring or grappling? NO
  • Does she ever complain? NO
Who of us is brootal enough to drive a bony elbow into Shelley's nose without apology? That's hardcore.

I suggest that instead of whining about our cuts and contusions and bloodied noses, we need to extend honorary membership to said ruffian.

Most of us are too nice to return the favor on # 1.

I agree with kneestrike--hurting Joan is like hurting my grandmother.

Uh... Seems like my post is being taken seriously.

Sorry, I thought everyone knew that I'm sarcastic about everything. Except about being sarcastic. That, I'm serious about. Seriously.

Fuck! Another paradox!

Don't get me wrong--I'd love to return the favor of the shin & knee kicks, the punches to the hands, and the unacknowledged headbutts in bearhugs....for some reason I just can't.

But, I sure do get some pleasure out of hitting her in the head when sparring.

I also thought you were serious!! Im pissed at myself for not seeing through your sarcasm. These last few weeks have been a paradoxical onslaught.

hmm...that word doesn't get used enough here.

We could grant her honory membership, but there is no way we can tell her or invite her. I WILL NOT be hit in the head by a kettlebell flying out of her hands.

That's a virtual treasure trove of disaster right there (more words we should be using more often).

I don't know whether I'm excited or appalled that one of my most off-handed posts has inspired such vim and vigor.
