The name Spartan conjures many an image: a fearless ancient Greek army pressing onward into arrows that “block out the sun”, and a shirtless, digitally retouched Gerard Butler sporting a shield and out-of-this-world abs. Ultimately, it’s an indication of fierce strength. Face your foes with today’s WagJag from Spartan Self Defense (3 options):

• $15 for 5 Krav Maga self defense classes
• $29 for 10 Krav Maga self defense classes
• $49 for unlimited Krav Maga self defense classes for 3 months

Krav Maga, originally developed by the Israeli army, is one of the most effective forms of self defense that exists today. This program is based on simple and instinctive movements, and its short, high-intensity intervals are a great way to achieve a complete and effective total body workout. The ultimate goal is self defense, but you will also tone your body and lose weight as you master the various techniques.
Unlike mixed martial arts, Krav Maga is not based on forms and rules but hones in on situations and scenarios. Benefits of training include heightened awareness and vigilance, increased focus, and tactical decision making skills. Classes in Burlington take place inside Crossfit Connection on Thursdays at 6pm and Saturdays at 9am.
