This class builds on foundational self-defense principles through practical application and scenario-based training. We will focus on putting your skills to the test with realistic mat work and partner drills, incorporating bag work to refine striking power and technique. Rather than high-intensity cardio, this session emphasizes controlled practice, decision-making under pressure, and developing confidence in real-world situations. Recommended for those who have completed a previous self-defense course, though all experience levels are welcome.
