Anybody who has watched Bourne Identity probably knows what this is... the "new" martial art that I am trying to learn how to use. It kind of started out that I needed to learn how to defend myself in my work place, but this is probably not the kind of thing I should be using at work. It will be very good to know whenever I will travel to a dodgy country, or am in a rough pub (why I would be in one is another question, but you never know), it could just be that someone decides to rob me. Then it will be useful!
For work: I will probably just wait until the self defence course is provided as promised.
The martial art is known as Keysi and has been developed by Justo Dieguez who grew up on the streets in Spain. To survive he had to know how to defend himself, and the thing you need to protect the most is your head. The fighting method is based around the fact that you are trying to protect your head at all times, and you learn how to fight from most positions... lying down, in the car, in the dark, a.s.o.
I am enjoying it, and our trainer is such a nice and funny guy, who really takes this sport serious. It is hard work, and most of the time it doesn't feel like I've done enough of my homework to actually progress, but somehow I do, but oh so slowly. Tomorrow I have another session... have I done enough practise?
