Z-Ultimate Self Defense Studios Costa Mesa 1

You DON'T have to be a Black Belt in the martial arts to learn how to defend yourself from the ground - with Z-Ultimate Bunkai, you learn how to defend yourself from a variety of angles and positions. In Z-Ultimate Bunkai Action Sequence #10, see how you can defend yourself even when on the ground and stuck between two cars!! https://youtu.be/ilSq0CznVEA

With all the popularity of mixed martial arts and grappling, people seem to forget that in a self defense situation, there is usually more than one attacker. In situations where there is just one attacker, that person usually has a friend or friends watching. In those situations, the LAST thing you want to do is STAY on the ground. While you're wrestling with one attacker, the friends can be kicking, stomping and other not-very-nice things. In a self defense situation, you wa...nt to be able to get back up on your feet and stay mobile. That's what you see and do in Z-Ultimate Bunkai Action Sequence #9. See how to use kicks from the ground to open distance between you and your attacker so you can stand up... https://youtu.be/78YDb1jkfC8

There's a difference between sparring in mixed martial arts, kickboxing, boxing and other martial arts vs. self defense. In sparring matches - or even a confrontation out in public - most of the time you KNOW it's coming. You see and detect the threat (or agree to the sparring match) and you can be PROACTIVE. In a self defense situation, it's REACTIVE. You didn't see or know it was coming. You're caught in whatever position you're in and you have to react from there.... Z-Ultimate Bunkai is a martial fitness program built off of self defense techniques that teach you how to defend yourself from different angles and situations, all while getting a full body workout. Check out Z-Ultimate Bunkai Action Sequence #8, where you learn how to protect yourself from weird angles - like bending over to get into your car... https://youtu.be/7L1TzYA3dTM

Even though we may not be able to be out and about as much as we would like - there IS going to be a time in the near future when we'll all be going back and forth to all our usually places, just like before... Whether that's going to work, traveling, running errands or just being out, we'll all be walking around at some point - and being able to defend yourself from being grabbed or controlled from behind could be a handy skill:) Check out Z-Ultimate Bunkai Action Sequence #...7 and add it do your daily workouts... https://youtu.be/ConM6JHVfB0

Hey it's another day, another Z-Ultimate Bunkai Action Sequence to help us all fight fat while we learn to fight back! This sequence shows you how to defend yourself against a front kick or knee. After you get the technique down, you can do a great workout, starting with Sequence 1 through 10, practicing left and right handed, starting with a low # of reps, adding more as you go! Here's Z-Ultimate Bunkai Action Sequence #6:... https://youtu.be/k50Z-VsBZuw

With all of us at varying stages of being told to "STAY HOME" - it can be a challenge to get your daily workout in - and even MORE of a challenge to get some variety in your workouts, right? Z-Ultimate Bunkai to the rescue!! Z-Ultimate Bunkai is a workout designed to "Fight Fat While You Learn to Fight Back". You'll get a great, total body workout AND learn self defense techniques at the same time....

Excuses for not training: 1. Too busy. That means it's not a priority. You need to bump "healthy activity" higher up your list. 2. Too expensive. Cut back to three lattes a day and you'll save enough for lessons.... 3. Too rough. Nope. We custom tailor the training to you. You are more likely to get injured walking around the block. 4. I already go to the gym. This is the workout program designed for long term health, not just bigger biceps. You will say," I wish I had started this years ago" Trust me. You'll see. In the comment section, mention your legit excuse. If I haven't heard it before, I will give you a month of free training! See more

His daddy is training. You should be too. Yes you. I'm talking about YOU! Call and schedule today (949) 650-8636 p.s. Seriously, I mean YOU!
