First we educate, then we train. We start very slow so those with no previous training can learn the basics. Students will progress from avoidance, striking pads and basic ground defense. Then we do some scenario training that will prepare you for the real-world. This allows you to understand your real abilities under stress to survive a life threatening attack by using your own body as a weapon.
