MONDAY
AND TUESDAY LOOK GOOD, BUT ANOTHER STORM SYSTEM NEXT WEEK WILL BRING
MORE SNOW.
TRACY:
I DO NOT EVEN KNOW WHAT TO SAY ANYMORE, ROGER. SO FAR THIS WEEK, I'VE
TRIED YOGA, BAR SCULPT, AND BURLESQUE. TODAY I AM DRIVING -- TRYING
KRAV MAGA, A FORM OF COMBAT FIGHTING USED BY ISRAELI DEFENSE FORCES.
IT IS BECOMING A POPULAR WORKOUT IN THE U.S. AND RIGHT HERE IN MAINE.
IT
WAS DEVELOPED FOR FIGHTERS TO BE ABLE TO HAVE SELf DEFENSE SKILLS.
TRACY: TONY IS THE OWNER OF THE LEADERSHIP KARATE CENTER, WHERE
BESIDES KARATE, THEY ALSO TEACH KRAV MAGA. IT HAS BEEN AROUND SINCE
THE 1960'S. BUT NOW IT IS GETTING A LITTLE MORE POPULARITY. TRACY:
ALTHOUGH IT IS CONSIDERED COMBAT FIGHTING, PEOPLE HERE DO IT TO GET A
GOOD WORKOUT. GOOD CARDIO, GOOD FLEXIBILITY TRAINING. YOU MOVE YOUR
CORE MUSCLES. YOU ARE WORKING THE WHOLE CORE. WITH THE PUNCHING
SKILLS, YOU'RE GETTING THE ARMS YOU NEED.
TRACY:
TONY SAYS KRAV MAGA WILL HAVE YOU FEELING THE BURN. THE BEST PART? IT
IS A GOOD WORKOUT FOR EVERYONE. THAT IS THE NICE THING ABOUT KRAV
MAGA. THE KICKS DO NOT HAVE TO BE HIGH-LEVEL KICKS. THEY ALL STAY
LOWER. THESE STRIKES ARE LOCATED. TRACY: SPEAKING OF KICKS, IT IS
SAFE TO SAY KRAV MAGA IS A WORKOUT THAT WILL KICK ABOUT ANYONE'S
BUTT. TONY SAYS IT IS NOT JUST ABOUT GETTING PHYSICALLY FIT. IF YOU
HAVE THAT WHOLE MIND-BODY CONNECTION, YOU HAVE YOUR OWN SPIRITUAL,
PHILOSOPHICAL ATTITUDE.
TRACY:
I CAN CERTAINLY SAY KRAV MAGA HAD ME FEELING SWEATY, OUT OF BREATH,
AND DOWNRIGHT DANGEROUS AFTER LEARNING NEW SELF-DEFENSE MOVES. TONY
SAYS THAT SELF OF CONFIDENCE IS A BIG PART OF IT. IT IS A GREAT
WORKOUT. IF ANYBODY HAS ANY DOUBTS ABOUT THEMSELVES, THEY WILL BE A
LOT MORE CONFIDENT. I THINK KRAV MAGA IS ONE OF THE BEST WAYS TO GET
THAT. TRACY: ONE THING I REALLY LIKED IS THAT YOU GET TO WORK WITH A
PARTNER SO THERE IS REALLY A TEAM ATMOSPHERE. IT WAS KIND OF FUN
TAKING OUT FRUSTRATION ON THOSE BAGS. TOMORROW, WE TRY SOMETHING THAT
HAS BEEN IN EXISTENCE FOR CENTURIES.
