"Soft" Self-Defense:
This class breaks the common misconception that successful self-defense requires great physical strength, complex techniques and hurtful intentions. By developing relaxed inner power, expanded awareness and understanding body mechanics, students learn to handle much larger opponents with ease and confidence. This is especially useful for non-muscular people such as women, office workers, students and mature adults.

Mixed Martial Arts:
'Sixty Minutes' states that the most popular sport in America right now is Mixed Martial Arts (MMA). MMA combines punching, kicking, grappling and wrestling into one fighting art. Here, we examine well known fighting methods from Brazil, Russia, China and Japan as well as more obscure styles from places such as Europe, Indonesia and Phillipines.
