Here are the reviews on this class:
CE-“This was a great class to learn what you are capable of and what your not. Don’t wait until something may happen in real life. Be prepared so you know what you can do. I learned that I can’t shoot from a prone position because of my injury so I will utilize the other positions to my advantage.” CW-“So I’ve been moving around this morning… slowly but I’m not saying to my self.. What were you thinking 🧐 taking that class ? I’m fine, but fitness is a must. Ladies take this class. I’m just saying…. I. Know. What. I’m. Capable. Of. Doing if by whatever.. I end on the ground. I can’t run so I’ll be standing or on ground holding my defense!!!” C – “It was a really fun class getting into different positions and learning how to be prepared if you get knocked down. Crystal was full of knowledge but also a lot of fun. Definitely recommend this class.”
