Defense Workouts: Krav Maga, Self-Defense and Weapons Defense Classes

You have to be prepared. Always be vigilant, and aware of what is going on around you. Just because you may carry a gun, it does not mean that you will be able to defend yourself. Everyone should know self defense, no matter man or woman, or girl or boy. Self defense can save your life and give you options! The Krav Maga symbol has an opening at the beginning and the end because we can always learn more as a person. It is about how you approach life. A lot of people get distracted by looking at their phone. Put your bag in the car first. Make eye contact with your aggressor. Little things like this can save your life and prevent your funeral. It is so critical to keep your cool, even if seconds feel like minutes. Carry yourself with high esteem, because criminals will prey on the weak. Do not even create an opportunity for a criminal to attack you. Tom trains his clients to do their daily activities more safely. He teaches the, eye contact, being assertive, keeping your hands out of your pockets, and keeping your head and shoulders high. Krav Maga is all about instinctual movements. The best age to start self defense is ages 4-5. With children, he teaches them the “I mean it” stance. Krav Maga can benefit all ages!

Pushing The Limits

Mo Brossette recently went through a mental and physical challenge. The main fitness demand of the GORUCK Challenge is rucking, 20-25 miles with load. Additional fitness demands include lifting an carrying heavy, odd objects, extended calisthenics, and overall fitness/endurance for a 12-14 hour event. Build Rucking Performance/Endurance – The best way to improving rucking performance is to ruck. During this program you’ll ruck 3 days/week, and at the top of the cycle, will ruck 16 miles in one session, and 30 miles in a week. Build Work Capacity – GORUCK Challenges are more than long rucks. You’ll be tasked with multiple team events which will test your overall work capacity. This program includes multi-modal and odd-object work capacity events to prepare you. Build Overall Strength – You’ll move some iron in the weight-room as part of this program. The focus is on your leg/hip/core and upper body strength. Strong athletes perform better and are more durable. Training sessions are long, hard grinders which combine distance rucking with multi-modal, work capacity events. Your Saturday training will most closely resemble what you’ll face at the GORUCK Challenge and build/test both your physical and mental fitness.
