The mission of Chop and Chops Self Defense Class is to introduce you to self defense through an MMA lens in a safe, inclusive and friendly environment. We’ll use a realistic, interactive, scenario-based approach to give you practical tools such as:

- How to strike using hands, knees and elbows
- How to block strikes from standing and from the ground
- How to escape when grabbed by the arms, body or head
- How to defend yourself when pinned to the ground
- Etc.

We will ensure that you come out of this class with tools that you can use immediately. But, like anything else, more skill comes with practice, so we also want to empower you to improve your self defense competency through continued training. MMA doesn’t have to be cold and competitive, and we believe that if more people had a safe space to train then more people could have the confidence and skills to defend themselves in real life.

When coming to class please wear comfortable workout clothes without buckles or exposed zippers, and please be prepared to remove all jewelry and shoes when you arrive.
