I took the women's self defense class (an hour and a half, five days a week for three weeks) and I loved it! I am confident that if I was attacked I could defend myself. The great thing about the women's self defense class is that we learn how to take down someone bigger and stronger than us. We learned how to defend ourselves if someone grabbed us, get out of a chokehold, disarm a gunman and knifeman, etc. On top of that the class was so much fun and Master Maui is a great teacher.
