The average person in a threatening situation faced by a bad person who intends harm – freezes. “What do I do?” fills the mind, and the body waits for an answer. Don’t wait for an answer. Don’t freeze. Training in self-defense helps the mind and body to respond automatically to defend against an attack, without delay in those first critical moments. None of us ever want to be in that situation, but knowing how to respond – to protect yourself and your loved ones – could make all the difference. For all ages, all fitness and skill levels.
