More details
I have over 30years martial arts experience and teach successful children's self defence classes I have took the classical side of martial arts out and made it relevent to modern day life. I have two small children which is my motivation for keeping children safe. We need to start at a young age to educate children so they grow up into decent adults. Let's build strong minded kids so they don't have to use there hands but they will grow with the skills to protect themselves if the worst happens.
