Z-Ultimate Self Defense Studios Lakewood CA

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
