When and how did you first hear about Krav Maga?
In late 2007, I moved to the area around USF, and began taking a bus
downtown each morning right down Bush Street.  Just after the
intersection at Van Ness, I would briefly wonder what the little white
Krav Maga sign was for.  Then I saw the Human Weapon episode featuring
Krav Maga, and it clicked.

How long have you been a member and what level have you reached?
Just before Christmas 2007, I was coming home late at night and was
accosted by some fairly large crack head that wanted my wallet.  He
asked for my money, and after I politely declined, he began to engage.
Fortunately, my Muni bus came and the person went away.  I was
clueless about how to protect myself, and quite frankly, was pretty
pissed off.  My wife then bought me a 3-month membership at Krav to
get it out of my system.  I have reached Level 3, and plan on taking
the Level 4 test this year.

What’s your favorite aspect about training at KMSF?
There are three aspects of Krav that I really enjoy.  First, the
training teaches us how to avoid having to defend ourselves by being
aware of situations that might precipitate the need to defend.  Not
being a potential victim goes a long way toward not being an actual
victim.  Second, if I must defend myself, I feel that I know enough
Krav at this point to put someone down.  More importantly, I am keenly
aware that it is best for me not remain in a prolonged engagement
regardless of how much Krav I think I know.  Third, I have met some
extremely decent people at Krav, and we learn from each other and have
fun doing it.

What’s your favorite class and why?
My favorite area of study right now is the Level 3 curriculum.  It’s
the Krav equivalent of a box of chocolates, with flavors split between
self-defense, sparring, alley or stairwell training, and conditioning
work.  Level 3 pieces together the separate elements of Levels 1 and
2, with new material, into a cohesive pathway toward a combined
knowledge base.

What’s your most memorable training story?
I am not the biggest creature stalking this planet, and sometimes I
have a hard time breaking the Level 1 headlock from the side when a
larger partner bends down low on the headlock.  One time, I could not
break a hold, so I simply took a bite out of the guy’s leg.  He let
go.  Looking back, not only was his reaction humorous to me, but it
shined a spotlight on a key aspect of Krav:  improvise and deliver
results no matter what you have to do.

What’s your life like when you’re not taking classes?
Professionally, I work for PG&E on the gas pipeline side of the
business, so it’s been a very busy couple of years.  I manage
engineering projects and contracts related to bringing natural gas
into PG&E’s system from interstate pipelines, third-party gas storage,
and renewable gas projects.  In short, I herd chickens for a living.
Personally, my hobbies right now are international travel and SCUBA
diving.
