Learning the art of self-preservation (also known as self-defense) is achieved through a series of blocks, punches, kicks, strikes, movements and combinations. By practicing on a daily basis, both physically and mentally, with the thought of becoming a complete martial artist in terms of mind, body and spirit, the results will always be rewarding. This is definitely not a quick fix, but rather a long, hard rewarding train ride, so my advice to you is Ð donÕt ever get off the train.
