Working on voice projection is an important part of self-defense, as using a commanding voice is always preferable to having to use your hands and feet.

Voice projection can shut-down an altercation before it turns physical. Learning to use your voice as a 'weapon' can take some practice.

KFMA instructors use a variety of methods to help with comprehension of new techniques. Image training is one way to help teach students proper targeting with their self-defense techniques.

Teens and adults practice their self-defense techniques on body shields. Using these targets allow students to hit harder and to develop power while still ensuring the safety of all participants.

Over the past 30 years, KFMA's self-defense clinics have taught hundreds of students, from teenagers to women in their 80s, how to defend themselves.

During self-defense seminars at KFMA, instructors and black belts work with teens and women to develop power in their techniques.

Working with partners at KFMA during training drills is a great way to develop friendships and build camaraderie during workouts.
