Katy Outdoor Fitness and Self Defense Study Group

I was part of a practice group like this for several years in NM and it was such a wonderful time of growth for me. Now we use the drills as a warmup at my Saturday jiujitsu class, and I'm wanting to start another group for during the week.

It's a combination of traditional martial arts and contemporary corrective exercise/rehab. Basically, it's solo, partner, and group exercises and drills that improve posture, natural movement, breathing and tension, in a learn-thru-play style (experiential learning).

We focus on developing the body for effortless, powerful, precise, subtle and diverse movement, and for the psyche to be free of tension, self-pity, fear, doubt, delusion and pride. Increase your capacity for insight and keep your mind free.

Each drill can be modified for one's own pace and comfort level. We'll organize the classes to cover a specific principle, and with each, I'll tell you where the information comes from and what if any is my opinion.

The group is open to anyone of any fitness level! No hierarchy, no dogmas, just good honest training.

Typical class structure-
10 minute warmup: basic movements and box breathing with walking
5 min: topic introduction
25 min: topical drills- methodology
10 min: topical drills- application
10 min: cooldown
