Proactive Mindset at Fusion MMA

Guys, in this day and time, we need to start THINKING AHEAD and DESELECTING ourselves from the "bad guys". This class is NOT about fear. It is about being aware of your environment and making good choices NOW...before you are forced to make bad choices later.

In the PROACTIVE MINDSET class (NOT PHYSICAL) we will be covering the nature of predators and violence, and how to deal with your response to violent encounters. This  well rounded class will focus on CURRENT EVENTS and PROACTIVE MINDSET for both men and women. We will discuss CRITICAL THINKING  and DESELECTION, making DEFENSIVE decisions in advance and listening to your instincts. We will discuss THINKING AHEAD, understanding the "law of self defense" and honing in on pre-assault cues.

Each class will have "MINDSET" and "hands on" drills that will make you think like a predator, a victim and even the law!
