In this ongoing class for all abilities, students will learn how to protect their bodies in a multitude of situations in a fun, energetic class designed to keep students moving and sweating. Students will learn age appropriate self defense taught in a positive environment with each student working at their ability and all students being encouraged to do their best. Additionally, all classes will incorporate "floor chats" on the topics of self defense, character development, and healthy habits. Also, occasional crafts, such as making paper nunchucks to use in class, may also be added.  Students will review concepts taught in class as they continue to add, and practice, what they have already learned. Students may join at anytime. Each class will follow the same format:
