Karate and Self Defense: We Test Common Scenarios

We are starting weekly online karate classes from the 3rd of August 2024: email [email protected] to get added to the sign-up list. Karate has an unearned reputation for not being practical enough. We do a deep-dive into common self-defence scenarios, and we test what does (and doesn't) work.

We barely, barely scratched the surface even with this, our longest video yet, but we hope you will find the content worth the time.

And yes: there is a long blooper reel too!
