SW Portland Martial Arts Blog

Suppose you want your martial arts to translate into self defense. Where might a self defense scenario take place? Will a fight always happen on the lovely matted floor of a dojo? Probably not. So the fact that we are currently required to train outside is a blessing in disguise, if you’re interested in practical application.

If self defense isn’t your thing, perhaps novelty is. Throwing punches and kicks while slipping on the mud is definitely something fairly unfamiliar for most of us. Practicing falls and rolls on the grass is something the majority of adults haven’t done in many decades. All this is to say, it’s fun. Come outside and train with us.
