We will deal with real life situations with candid discussion and realistic defenses that work.

In this ongoing, co-ed class we will be working with striking pads and shields to practice your kicks and punches. During the hands-on training with your partner, we will work on grabs and take downs. Nothing good comes easy, be prepared to work! We will do warm ups, body conditioning, mobility drills, basic techniques, Kata's and stretches. For you and your partners' safety, keep excess jewelry at home and wear comfortable but durable clothing.
