Self Defense Combatives Training Mondays & Wednesdays 6-7pm

DX Comabtives bridges all training done there in the school. In the beginning of each week we start off our class with a brief discussion about different aspects of personal protection. The topics vary and include awareness, the state laws concerning self-defense, personal conceal carry weapon, etc. We collaborate with the students to keep the discussions important and interesting. Also each month we choose to focus on a certain skill. Our end goal is to develop a stronger YOU and to help YOU overcome YOUR fears. As you know, the worst thing you can do in a fight is freeze. We work hard to make sure it does not happen to YOU.
