Self Defense Class taught in Dana Point

September 21, 2016

Share

We had 7 women attend the class last night at Evolve Fitness Gym in Dana Point. They were all very interested and engaged in the learning.

We learned how to make a proper fist and how to use parts of your hands, fingers and elbows for attacking. We also learned how to escape from a grab on the wrist with 1 or 2 hands. Then we practiced how to escape from a grab around the throat. And lastly we learned and practiced how to escape from someone grabbing you from behind and trapping your arms.

The participants were generous to donate to the 110 club that supports the Ohshima Dojo. And there are plans to have more of these classes.
