Four patent lawyers at the Fellers Snider law firm in Tulsa are learning to channel their aggression by practicing hand-to-hand combat techniques used by Israeli soldiers.

The lawyers have advanced to full-on sparring where they are “kicking the snot out of each other”—albeit while wearing protective gear—one member of the group told the Journal Record.

The lawyers are being trained in krav maga, which goes one step beyond the mix of martial arts demonstrated in ultimate fighting, lawyer Alan Weeks told the publication.

The fighting method teaches defensive techniques in a way that makes self-defense instinctive.
