He raises a good point.

How does one get whiplash from hitting a person in a large Vehicle? I wouldn't even get whiplash hitting someone in my car.

 :huh:

I crashed a Bora into the back of a stationary Megane at 20 mph.  I didn't get whiplash.

My missus does Krav Maga and she got whiplash when she was thrown to the ground onto a mat

Don't forget that your seat and the vehicle are designed to minimise injuries.......hence crumple zones, seat belt tensioners and head rests

Krav Maga interests me, but it's rather expensive  :undecided:

Think Linzi pays £20-£30 a month and that's for 4 x 2 hour sessions  :undecided:

She really enjoys it mind and some of the stuff they teach her is  :shocked: :shocked:

That's not bad. Some of the internet prices quoted on their websites is mad.
It's pretty lethal stuff, it's used by the Israeli Special Forces.
Essentially alot of it is similar to ju jitsu.
I pay about £10 a week and get 4 hours training, but i also get extra training most weeks at mine as well.
The problem with most martial arts is it's all about making money. My club is certainly an exception.

From what I've seen and had demonstrated (lol) it's basically no rules self defence with the aim to inflict as much damage before running, so either kick them in the sensitive areas, gouge their eyes out etc etc  :evil:

I've thought about doing it myself as I'm crap at sticking at to going to the gym  :sad:

Why not give it a try?
I changed from shotokan to wado for the ju jutsu, i'm looking at wing chun now as well.
A friend i met through Sensei is an expert in Wing Chun, i've done a couple of private sessions already.
In the summer i'll probably do that as well, so training 4 times a week.
Plus i want to be the Ip man  :laugh:
