First, "If you can not hold this position for 40 seconds, start there." means that if you are able to hold this position correctly more than 40 seconds, you can progress to a more difficult exercise such as stability ball rollouts with a big ball. The goal is to have a simple and effective progression to get you to more complex exercises in a safety way. Secondly, in a biomechanics point of view, Krav Maga is a rotational sport involving punching, kicking or grappling. In fact, rotational and horizontal directed forces are the predominant forces experienced during this sport. Just consider how your joints and muscles work when you are throwing a punch ... Finally, the primary role of the abdominal muscle is to provide an isometric support and to limit the degree of rotation of the trunk ... This is the worse scenario for your back at the L5-S1 level! That's why, I consider anti-rotational exercises such as "The Plank" as essential to prevent back injuries. Thank you for your input but let me clarify two things.

You'd stress your thoracic spine. Also Krav Maga is not a rotational sport. Surely if you can not hold a plank position for 10 second you shouldn’t start with 40.. You’d stress your thoracic spine.

As you can imagine, it's a little complicated for me to give you proper guidance without assessing you previously. But, let's try ... Most of the time, I start teaching the slip movement against straight punches as sequenced on pictures 1, 2, 3 and 1 (Note, how Larissa is rotating her shoulder forward on picture 3 against what it could be a right straight punch). Even if I throw accidentally a left hook punch, her shoulder is protecting her face! Secondly, when you do sparring, you can never ensure to have the good timing and here, you're still protected. So, repeat as much as necessary this sequence first and when you'll be comfortable with, it will be easier for you to roll underneath hook punches. All the best! Welcome on board, Manuel!
