How to Punch and other forms of striking

Suitable for anyone, non-martial artists, those who study martial arts, women, and men.

Most men and women do not have the upper body strength to knock an attacker out. However a properly placed strike can stop an attacker in their tracks. Additionally, if done properly, it can also help prevent injury to yourself.

This class will focus on the mechanics and locations of striking.

A good class for women in our Personal Safety Classes.

Not intended for anyone under 18 years old. (call before registering a minor).

Times: Two (2) consecutive Mondays 6:40 - 8:30 pm per session
