About The Event
The Seven Hills MMA self-defense course is a donation-based workshop meant for ALL levels and ALL experiences. Those interested in our program are encouraged to check out this offering if they want to participate in training later on! The cap for each workshop is 10 people, and there will be three classes that focus on the foundational concepts of self-defense training and gross motor skills that can be done at home and with a partner. The classes will focus on the difference between a "fighting stance" and a sports stance. How to control the distance with your legs and your arms to keep somebody away. And lastly, the physical gross motor skills of wrestling and boxing; the "base" of all self-defense and how to apply it for defensive purposes versus "offensive" purposes.
