Ziva David Mossad Training

Chapter 8: Close Combat

The next day, a large group of men and women were gathered around the main boxing ring. Their instructor, Daniel Reis was teaching them about the techniques of close combat Krav Maga. From the large group, Ziva spotted Nadir Cohen. She smiled at him, and he winked at her.

.
"The key to Krav Maga is closeness, speed, and unpredictability. Get close to your attacker. That way, he or she won't anticipate your next move. Be explosive, be fast. Your attacker won't have time to respond and defend themselves. Lastly, change it up a bit. Your attacker will understand how you fight, and use it against you". Daniel advised. "Also never, ever surrender. Even if half the bones in your body are broken. Keep fighting. Bones heal, blood clots. But death is permanent. You only have one life, so protect it".

Everyone nodded their understanding.

"Okay everyone. I'll pair you up" Daniel Reis processed to pair everyone up, and they all took their place in the boxing ring.

.
Ziva found herself paired up with Nadir Cohen again. They stood facing each other, and took their fighting stance.

"Ya ready for me, Zivi Ziva?" Nadir teased her.

"The better question is are you ready to have your ass kicked by a girl, Nadi-di" Ziva teased back.

Nadir smirked as they stalked each other around in circles. It was Ziva who threw the first kick. She kicked him squarely in the place that would hurt him the most, and Nadir bent over from the pain.

Or so Ziva thought.

He surprised her by ramming her into a frontal bearhug. The strength of the bearhug was enough to lose her balance, and fall to the floor.  Thinking fast, Ziva grabbed onto the back of his shoulders, and pushed him as they fell. That caused Nadir to summersault over her, and Ziva to backwards somersault onto him.

Ziva moved to get off him, but Nadir placed his hands on her lower back, and pushed her down closer ontop of him. Their noses were centimeters apart as Ziva gazed into his eyes.

"Surprise". Nadir said to her. "I wore a cup".

.
He then proceed to flip her so that he was on top.
.

"Smart move". Ziva smirked. She then flipped him so she was on top again.

"Well I have to whenever I'm fighting you". Nadir said. "You seem to really like my-" He was cut off by Ziva jamming his pressure point.

Nadir flipped her over again, and pretty soon they were rolling around on the floor, wrestling each other.

"Why. Can't. You. Be. Submissive." Nadir grit out, teeth clenched as they fought for dominance. 

Ziva smirked, as Nadir pinned Ziva's hands above her head. "Because I like it on top". Ziva said huskily. She then wrapped her legs around his lower torso, and flipped him.

Ziva then managed to jump off of Nadir, and resume her fighting stance above him. Nadir side-swept his leg in an attempt of knocking Ziva off balance. Ziva jumped over his leg, and kicked Nadir in the side.

.
After a few minutes, the whistle blew indicating the end of the combat session.

The frontal bearhug summersault technique is so much fun! And even more fun to watch 😝
