Last class we went over on how to disarm a criminal with a handgun. I.e removing yourself from the line of fire and gaining control of the weapon. Caution Only use these Tactics if you feel its a life-or-death situation. For example, if a mugger wants your car, your wallet, or your purse, let them have it. It’s not worth risking your life over!! #yqr #yqrgym #localbusiness #safteyfirst #martialarts #kravmaga #fitness #instagood #weapons #selfdefense

Building Confidence "One of the biggest advantages to taking self defense classes is the way it makes you feel afterwards. A lot of people are unconfident with their abilities to protect themselves before they join a practice, or take classes. This can be due to personal experiences, as well as driven by the news. We hear a lot about the negativity in our society, and this can leave people feeling unprotected. Self defense classes will build confidence in yourself. If you are getting bullied, it is also a great way to protect yourself and grow confidence in yourself, ultimately molding you into a better person." -Megan Mayle #yqr #confidence #empowerment Regina Self Defense and Fitness Academy

This is why we train Self-Defense . Because not all heroes wear capes. This video captures a scumbag attempting to kidnap a four-year-old girl in broad daylight. Thankfully our hero who's trained in basic self-defense was able to subdue the culprit by applying a standing rear-naked choke followed by a rear takedown. The culprit was persistent and still continued to go after the girl, but our hero applied beautiful BJJ ( Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu) hooks and a one-hand rear-naked ch...oke. The Hero held the culprit for 41 seconds until the authorities arrived. Fun fact* RSDF Academy instructors are members of the Carlos Machado Jiu-Jitsu Association. Ground Self-Defense is one of our various disciplines that we offer at RSDF Academy. With respect to ground Self-Defense, our focus is to provide our members with the most practical ground Self-Defense tactics; which includes ground strikes and Edge weapons ground defense. https://youtu.be/ZIKUjb2qczo

DIRTY BOXING One of various disciplines you will learn At Regina Self Defence & Fitness Academy. DIRTY BOXING, also known as Suntukan or Panantukan is a devastating form of hand-to-hand combat from the Philippines, that intergrates Western Boxing, and Clinch Fighting. A part of the Filipino Martial Arts (Kali & Escrima), Dirty Boxing utilizes nearly every part of the anatomy as a human weapon.... Similar to Thai Boxing but with absolutely no rules, Filipino Boxing makes similar use of elbows, knees and punches but with slightly less emphasis on kicking. Because it's based on knife fighting, the kicks are mostly performed at the low line. However, unlike Thai Boxing, Filipino Boxing utilizes many other tools that are illegal in Muay Thai or impossible to pull off with boxing gloves on. Some favorite tools include head butts, finger jabs, claws, palms, slaps, forearm strikes, hammer fists, knuckle fists, back fists, thumb gouges, fish hooks, shoulder butts, sweeps, bolo punches, clinching, all types of elbows and knees and low kicks in combination with mainstream boxing punches. These tools are used offensively and as counter-attacks. But it's not just the use of these unorthodox tools that makes DIRTY BOXING unique. It's the way these techniques are integrated into a classic boxing structure that makes them so functional. DIRTY BOXING transforms any boxing-based martial art like Boxing, Muay Thai, Kickboxing, MMA, Savate, Jeet Kune Do or Krav Maga into a MUTANT ANIMAL OF MASS DESTRUCTION for real-world fighting and self-defense.
