I've only ever trained as a boxer, have you trained with any fighting styles?
I have never trained in any fighting styles although I understand Krav maga is known for focusing on real-world situations.
That's what I've heard also.  I am interested in learning further about Krav Maga, perhaps even take a lesson.
It was developed for the Israel Defense Forces and it's a combination of boxing, wrestling judo and other styles.
Wow! At least it includes boxing.  Do Krav Maga gyms usually offer the first lesson free?
I am not sure about what the gyms charge but I know it has a philosophy which emphasizes aggression and offensive maneuvers.
Interesting, I hope the training isn't super unsafe.  Even though with whatever fighting style you practice, there's always a chance for injury.  How long has this fighting style existed?
This style of fighting came into existence in the late 1940s.
Wow, it's been around for some time then.  What would be the ideal level of fitness would someone need to have in order to start training in Krav Maga?
I believe that an individual would need to be in good physical condition to train for this style of fighting.
