He has an overall knowledge of multiple disciplines and even shared some real life experiences during the class. I'm almost twice the woman (IYKYK) I was before. I was afraid that it would be too much and I would get overwhelmed. I was able to acclimate which helped me feel less anxious. My push ups and squats weren't up to par, I know that they'll continue to improve. *Why now? After 30+ years? Two weeks ago I was sucker punched by a violent stranger at Starbucks on Mendo/Steele in SR. I don't want to start a fight but I know I want to finish one, w/out a concussion and my eardrum ruptured. Can't think of when I'd last thrown a punch... I want to be ready when/if it happens again. I believe Asher and Krav Maga Revolution are a key part of that journey.
