I basically just fell to the ground. Was that krav-approved?
That's pretty much a worst-case scenario, because once you're on the ground he has even more of an advantage, unless you spun it so he was on the bottom.
If someone comes for your legs and they're bent at the waist (so their torso is approaching horizontal) it's pretty easy to stop them by just pressing down on their shoulders, and making them fold. Feel free to knee them in the face before, during, or after. If they shoot in on you "properly" with their torso upright, the safest thing to do is to send your feet and hips out behind you as far as you can and brace against their shoulder(s) with your forearm. If they keep coming in (which they probably will) don't stay in their line of motion--spin off to the side and kick 'em as they go past.
All of this assumes room to move, and time to see it coming. But if you aim for best case, you're doing a good job.
I will remember that for next time.
So, I thought I paid a lot at the spa yesterday, but I was willing to go with it, until I just looked at the detailed receipt, and they totally overcharged me!! I call bullshit. I did, in fact, call them, and the lady said she'll call back.
What spa did you go to, if you don't mind saying? I had a facial this weekend while I was visiting my parents and now I want MORE.
Metamorphosis on 56th between Lex and Park. I thought I really liked it, until I noticed the extra $45 on my receipt. The masseuse was genius.
What did you have done again, Jesse? Body wrap and massage?
I had a salt scrub the last time I visited SF for any length of time, and I loved it to pieces. It feels strangely indulgent to do that at home, although I think lengthy massages are just fine.
Yeah, body wrap and massage. The extra money was for a scalp and foot massage during the wrap, which I didn't realize would cost extra. I wouldn't do the wrap again anyway, just because it didn't really do anything for me, and at one point I had to scratch my nose, and realized just how nasty everything was inside the foil and electric blanket thing they had me wrapped up in.
You see the problem with the extra charges -- I actually got the service. I just didn't know I was paying for it. The confusion was really between me and the person who booked me into a package that was more than I wanted, but I didn't get her name.
Man. I am SO gonna take a Krav class with ita.
I will remember that for next time.
Also, stop going to the place with the crazy people.

Come, come, come, come, come!
Also, stop going to the place with the crazy people.
Well, yeah. As far as I can tell, the place with the crazy people is Annapolis, MD. I was there one night, and both had this guy run at my legs, and had someone spill a pitcher of beer down my back, and not even apologize!
