Thoughts on My First Krav Maga Test
Mr Nick Masi Offers Post-Test Feedback Last week I tested for the first rank in the Krav Maga Global system, called Practitioner 1 or P1. I'll admit I was nervous. Most of the seven other students with me were nervous too, based on the vibe of our pre-test discussions! I'd like to share a few thoughts on the experience. I'd also like to thank one of our instructors, Pat, for asking me after tonight's Friday Fight Night "How's the blog doing?" I promised myself I would capture these thoughts before any more time elapsed! I'm no stranger to possibly stressful situations. I've spoken to audiences numbering in the hundreds. I've testified to Congress ten times. I've appeared on television programs, and even sat with Wolf Blitzer in his "Situation Room" as he practiced saying my last name, Ron Burgundy-style: "Bate-lik... Bate-lik..." I think of speaking, testifying, and broadcast as "cerebral" exercises, however.
