Krav Maga comes to SJSU

Today the Jewish Student Union brought the people of Krav Maga back to campus by popular demand! At 3 p.m., several students convened near the barbeque pits to watch a demonstration by Everest Pepper, director of training for the Academy of Self Defense in Santa Clara, Calif. He showed students how to disarm knives and guns, get out of chokeholds and "fight dirty."

Krav Maga is the fighting system used by the Israeli Defense Forces and is considered highly effective.

Students said they enjoyed the demonstration and expressed they planned to take advantage of two free weeks Pepper offered them.

Spartan Daily photographer, Zach, came by and took some shots of the action. Check tomorrow's Daily for the pics by one of the best photographers on staff.
