After a week of really crappy weather it was great to get out of the house and attend a combat Judo seminar taught by Peter Muldoon this weekend. Pete, is a 3rd Dan black belt and one of the senior instructors at the Krav Maga Federation headquarters in Manhattan. He was gracious enough take time out of his schedule and share some of his knowledge of throws and takedowns with a group of us on a cold Sunday afternoon.
I had been looking forward to this seminar ever since Rhon Mizrachi, Krav Maga Master Instructor, had announced it a few weeks back. It had been a number of years since I had actually done any formal training in Judo and I was interested in seeing how much, if anything, I had remembered. Which unfortunately wasn’t as much as I had hoped. Other than my breakfalls, rolls, and a few basic throws and sweeps, I was pretty rusty. Thankfully, Pete is a great instructor and very patient. I am hoping that Rhon will be able to talk Pete into doing more of these seminars in the future.
