Has anyone done any Krav Maga training? I'm thinking of signing up for some classes they're offering at my gym. The type they instruct in is Commando Krav Maga. It seems like a great way to get in shape and learn some different self-defense techniques. I used to recreationally box at this gym, but that's the only other self-defense type stuff that I've done.

Any experiences with it?
I've taken a few classes and I lived in Israeli around plenty of fully trained guys. If you want to learn to kid butt in a street fight, this is the training for you. Where I took classes, we punched with closed fist. It's the most practical self defense/martial art system I've come across. I don't know what it will be like at a gym, but I took classes at a dedicated Krav Maga school, and it was pretty hardcore. It will teach you to mess people up.
