WHAT TO EXPECT
In this Women’s Combatives Seminar, you’ll build a strong foundation with posture, balance, strength, and speed exercises led by Bruno. Eddie will then teach essential footwork and striking techniques like eye jabs, elbows, knees, and headbutts—ideal for close-quarter situations. You'll learn how to defend against common mid-range punches and apply counterattacks under pressure. The final segment focuses on escaping the most common chokeholds and grabs, including rear naked chokes, headlocks, and bear hugs. This seminar is hands-on, empowering, and designed to give you real tools for real-world self-protection.
