Huge NEWS !!!! A local Philanthropist and real Estate developer has offered our non profit a piece of land in downtown Williamstown. To build our very FIRST Resilient Defense institute Community Self Defense Academy. Our dream is to have a state of the art facility in EVERY town in the US, to bring back healthy options for our children, not only that but provide a FREE SElf Defense service for the community. We would love for people to use the facility for different types of self defense training or awareness. I would love to see an afterschool kids program for the community. Our next steps will be fundraising and seeking volunteer help with every part of the build project. We already own a ring, so we are that one step closer. If you would like to be part of this project or help with it please feel free to reach out to our CEO Taylor Thompson
We could NEVER be able to make this a reality without this person allowing us to build. I’m going to refrain from saying who it is right now until I speak to him again ❤️

Last night the kids decided they all wanted to do nothing but sparring. Our classes are 2.5 hours long starting with warm ups. I told them they would not last 2.5 hours of just sparring. So I decided to do 1/2 hour warm ups (and connect Bluetooth radio 🤣) then 1/2 hour focused on Brazilian Jiu Jitsu technique’s, required to know for their next belts. Next we did 1/2 hour specific training in Japanese jujutsu. After all that everyone is excited to spar. 3 min round 30sec breaks. I’m the only one that stayed in every round aaaand at 52 yrs old I was the last man standing. I think more cardio is needed 🤣🤣🤣
