**For ages 13 and above.** IKMF Krav Maga training helps you defend yourself effectively on the streets. Below are just some of the reasons why Krav Maga classes at IKMF Singapore will benefit you. 1\. There are no rules in street attacks\, so imagine what we will do to the attacker\. 2\. No one wants to get in a fight\, so prevention & de\-escalation will be taught too\. 3\. You're lucky if there's just 1 attacker out in the streets\. To better prepare yourself\, we train with the mindset of potentially facing multiple attackers\. 4\. Did I mention weapons? Who says attackers can't possess knives/sticks/guns? ### **Address** 767 Upper Serangoon Rd, #01-05, 534635 Singapore (Kali Majapahit Martial Arts studio) ### **Schedule** Saturdays 4PM - 530PM ### **Booking Information** * Please contact **98225900** to find out how to book this class. * The instructor will reach out to you once you've booked the class.

**Welcome to Drunken Philosophy** a casual, curious social discussion **Optional topic for this meetup: What's up with all the AI hate?** A recent survey found that 74% of Americans have a negative view of AI, and I want to know why. Come out and debate whether AI is good or bad. My hot take: a labor-saving tool that could potentially help cure cancer gets called dangerous because it might raise unemployment or cause a speculative investment bubble, that tells you a lot more about capitalism and the economic system we live under than it does about the tool itself. As a computer programmer, I think AI is a wonderful tool that has increased my productivity by at least an order of magnitude. I'd go so far as to say Claude Code is the best tool I have ever used. Debate me and name a better one. Is AI potentially dangerous? Yes, but so are a lot of tools. Chainsaws. Steam engines (early ones would occasionally explode and kill everyone in the room). Do you think cavemen sat around debating whether fire could be used as a weapon or for self-harm, and decided not to discover it? I have two friends who hate AI for opposite reasons: one thinks it's a fad and not useful, and the other thinks it's going to take over everything and cause human extinction. Come out tonight, have a friendly debate, and make some friends. No lectures. Friendly crowd. Drop in for one drink and stay if it's fun.
