I stumbled on the Martial Motion Academy purely accidental while I was exercising at what is commonly known as Lemon Park.
For weeks I had notice the class, and it caught my attention. I finally walked over to inquire as to what this was all about. I received a very warm welcome from the instructors, and the students in attendance.
Now, I'm 63 and have never done anything like this before. Although I have played other sports most of my life. I'm at a point in my life that I need to really find something mentally and physically challenging, but at the same time I needed it to be fun and safe. I am completely hooked on this and look forward to every class. I'm not what I was 20 or 30 years ago. But with the help and patience of the instructors, and the other students, I am already seeing positive benefits in just a few months of this training. I have learned so much about how to keep myself safe, and things I can do to keep my family safe. Every class day you review what was done in a previous class, then go on to something new. At no time have I ever been hurt or even injured. Safety is the number one priority, and techniques are adjusted to your individual needs.
This is truly a different way of Martial Arts training. I'm not off somewhere to the side all alone doing some kind of form or Kata, or doing hundreds of punches and kicks in to the air. There is always someone working with me, which is what I need to succeed. Everything that I have learned so far is real world situations that anyone of us could find ourselves in. Even though I'm very new at this, I do have an increased confidence level with the new skills I now have. But I do have a long way to go, and I am looking very forward to that journey.
I am so impressed with this style of Martial Arts training; I am now getting my family members involved, because I truly believe that they need to know this. read more
