As a teenager, I was almost abducted. That was a real eye-opening experience. I learned that you can’t just “know” some self-defense, you need to have reflexes and have the ability to execute what you know. But beyond that, you MUST be in the right condition to protect yourself.
I have had the absolute pleasure of training “WITH” and “UNDER” several Great Martial Arts Masters over the years, including 7 Time World Karate Champion & Creator of Tae Bo, Billy Blanks, The Legendary Guro Dan Inosanto and undefeated World Kickboxing Champion Pete “Sugarfoot” Cunningham, to name a few.
