This class really put the 'Art' in Martial Arts.
Self Defense is an important part of martial arts and is a key reason why so many people start training.
While true that any combat sports teach techniques that can be used to defend yourself, not many arts will teach you key principles when it comes to real life Self-Defense.
​
Taekwondo is unique as it has a Self Defence incorporated into the Grading Curriculum with a primary focus on grappling techniques.
​
The aim of this class is to provide a well rounded approach to Self Defense as Taekwondo does, but also to expand upon that further by using techniques and knowledge from other Martial Arts.
Benefits of this class include: Improved situational awareness, Better Decision making under pressure and Reactive Instincts.
