I Believe

Survival is the top priority for everyone

Fitness is futile without self-defense. What is the point of being fit if one is unable to defend themselves? Self-defense, we’ve seen globally, most recently permeates multiple facets of our being. This pandemic is giving way to a growing consciousness that self-defense is far beyond just punching, kicking and fending off attackers. A circumspect approach to optimal health encompasses associations, distancing, healthy eating habits, exercise, movement choices, and mindset.
