I’m not in shape or I’ve never taken a self defense class before, will the class be a hard workout?
STB Safety online session includes more than just the physical training (mental aspect, understanding the terrain, etc.). All movements/techniques will have modifications available. You always have the choice to participate however much you feel comfortable.
Will I need to have my camera on the entire time?
No, not the entire class, having your camera on at least part of the class, especially during the physical practice will allow the trainer to provide helpful feedback to the larger group on body angles/movements/etc. to avoid injury. If being on camera is an issue, please email ahead: info.stbsafety@gmail.com and we will accommodate!
