You punch, you kick, you knee, you elbow, you are running, you're standing still. You've been attacked from behind, from the side, from the front and at the same time all of it becomes so much real-er when you put a knife in someone's hand or a gun in someone's hand and these are the kind of things that happen, not just in Los Angeles, all across the world.\"\u003cbr/\u003e9.

You know the fact of the matter is this, no matter how much we as law enforcement want to be there to protect the citizens of our cities, we can't be there 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to protect them. With that being the case, it's very important for everyone to know how to basically defend themselves.\" \u003cbr/\u003e33. Medium of woman punching bag \u003cbr/\u003e34. Wide of class boxing \u003cbr/\u003e35. Medium of two women wrestling to ground \u003cbr/\u003eKrav Maga is a popular cardio workout class that borrows techniques from a hard-core self defence programme. \u003cbr/\u003eIt's an exercise class that has its roots in the Israeli military. \u003cbr/\u003eFrom just a few studios two years ago, there are now about 45 Krav Maga fitness locations in the US with over 100 more being built this year alone. \u003cbr/\u003eThe Israeli martial art which means \"close combat\" in Hebrew, trains participants to neutralise a threat with crippling attacks to vulnerable body parts.\u003cbr/\u003eIt also provides an amazing overall empowering workout. \u003cbr/\u003eIt started as the Israeli army's self-defence system, which is about being unarmed against armed attackers.\u003cbr/\u003eMarcus Kowal, General Manager of Krav Maga Worldwide Santa Monica, says the work out's popularity has grown so much because it's always different and it's not just cardio nor is it just martial arts. He says it's a huge trend now due to its support from law enforcement around the world, and from being used in so many Hollywood movies. \u003cbr/\u003eStudents learn how to properly throw a punch and how to kick with purpose. \u003cbr/\u003eKrav Maga 'fitness' classes are a spin off of the self defence martial arts practice. \u003cbr/\u003eThe class routine changes week to week in order to keep participants engaged.\u003cbr/\u003eIt takes intensity to a completely new level. \u003cbr/\u003eOne of the highlights attracting members is \"combatives\" - that's where students punch, kick, and elbow to loud pounding music. \u003cbr/\u003eSome instructors fear if the practice becomes very trendy, then gyms will hire anybody who says they can teach Krav Maga.\u003cbr/\u003eThey worry that poorly trained instructors will teach people to kick and punch incorrectly, which could lead to injuries. \u003cbr/\u003eInstructors have to undergo lengthy training at the programme's Los Angeles headquarters, with check- ups every six months to keep their licenses. \u003cbr/\u003e38 year old salesman, Ian Kerner, from Los Angeles, says it's by far the best workout trend right now. He's been doing it a long time. \u003cbr/\u003eSusanna Dellapenna, 43, and a Beverly Hills sales director, has been doing it for 11 years and she doesn't get bored. \u003cbr/\u003eMarc Gittleman, who's 35, and a business owner in West Hollywood, says he loves that the class keeps you moving without stopping.\u003cbr/\u003eSoldiers going to Iraq and Afghanistan get trained in Krav Maga just before they deploy.\u003cbr/\u003eMaury Sumlin, detective with the Santa Monica Police Department Robbery and Homicide unit, says everyone must now learn self defence because the understaffed police are not able to be everywhere all the time.\u003cbr/\u003eFitness experts stress that any exercise done for half an hour most days offers almost immediate health benefits.\u003cbr/\u003eIt's philosophy emphasises threat neutralisation, simultaneous defensive and offensive manoeuvres.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container flex
