Sometimes youth exercise is delivered as a means to create fatigue,to attain all the things that come with fatigue (e.g. silence, obedience). This approach is short sighted. Our classes begin with a physical component driven by athleticism, creativity and passion. Athleticism creates function, creativity creates awareness and passion becomes discipline.

We follow the physical portion of class with self-defence techniques of Muay Thai, within social contexts of conflict. Self-defence does not begin when a punch is thrown. Self-defence begins with understanding how violence precipitates and the means to avoid it first.

By understanding the dynamics of various forms of violence (e.g. verbal, psychological, emotional) our goal is to enable students ability to forecast violence; that physical violence is a breakdown of something less physical early on.

We will express these through simple thought challenges in class, and provide students the opportunity to respond.
