What have we been up to?

We just recently completed our third month of PDR/SPEAR  self-defense classes at CrossFit South Arlington. Every month we are offering one men’s class and one women’s class.  The goal of these courses is to learn and practice simple combative skills, and get around to some of the stuff that we don’t have time to cover in our introductory seminars.

The ladies had their first taste of a Ballistic Micro-Fight, where they each had an opportunity to experience and respond to a replicated attack, a front choke, with me suited up in the protective gear.  

The men's class worked on multiple attacker encroachment, where two (or three) attackers close the distance to you with one person designated to take a swing at you.  The objective was to weather the punch from the first attacker, and get the hell out of dodge before the other one or two could close the distance! 

Both classes are welcome to newcomers and progressive in nature for experienced participants. In the upcoming months we will be working on effective targeting, blitz attacks with repeated punches, chaining drills together, and defending from grounded positions.

Train hard & stay safe,
