DefenseFit
About
Unlike most modern cardio gym classes that implement some form of Martial Arts or Boxing, DefenseFit actually focuses on defending yourself. Giving you the knowledge, understanding, and the applied execution of Self Defense should you find yourself in a physical altercation.
DefenseFit was deloved and designed by Master Taekwondo Instructor, World Class Athlete, and 3x Army war Veteran Gilbert A. Johnson. To ensure that each and every practitiner of DefenseFit is properly trained, only certified instructors are able to teach DefenseFit. Verified, trained, and taught through our DefenseFit instructor training program. Instructors are certified at three different levels...Instructor, Expert, and Master Instructor level.
Self-defense can‘t guarantee that someone won’t try to harm you, but it will give you the tools you need that may one day save your life.
