Here are a couple of photos of John Mayer, who has been pretty MIA since he fell out of romantic favor with Jennifer Aniston (ie. the paparazzi have had pretty much zero interest in him anymore), doing a bit of military-like defense training with some of the men of the Krav Maga Association … or something like that. The Krav Maga Association, for those who don’t know (like me), is “the official self defense system of the Israeli Defense Forces, and has been taught to hundreds of law enforcement agencies and thousands of civilians in the United States … they teach a self defense system that emphasizes instinctive movements, practical techniques, and realistic training scenarios” … so, yeah:

When David Kahn, U.S. chief instructor for Israeli Krav Maga Association, decided to pay another visit to New River, he mentioned he might “bring a friend that wants to meet and possibly train with Marines.” It turns out that the visit may have meant as much to Krav Maga-student and musical artist, John Mayer, as to the Marines he met. “Believe me when I say that the day was life-changing,” Mayer said after spending several hours with the residents at Wouned Warrior Battalion East. Not after a bid for good press, prior to the visit, Kahn, Mayer, grammy-winning producer Chad Franscoviak and several others were adamant that the visit not be publicized as it was “not about us, but about the Marines.” The tour also included a trip to the ISMT where they put a few rounds downrange before culminating with some training time with Marine Coros Martial Arts instructor trainers.

Uhhh, with all of this special defense training, mebbe it’s not a good idea to poke fun at good ol’ John Mayer anymore? I guess it’s fortunate that the paps no longer are interested in following him around since he now has the ability to kick some major ass. Oh John, you never cease to entertain.
