I am a major proponent of Self-Defense. I absolutely love it. And as someone who is so passionate about the craft, I have tried just about everything and have pretty high standards where training is concerned. This app has not only met those standards - but has exceeded them. Seriously the best you will ever find. If you are experienced in martial arts or just getting started, there is plenty here for everyone. Don’t just take my word for it though. Download it and check it out. See for yourself why this app sets itself apart from all of the others

TLDR: 90% love this app, but wish it was just a little more customizable. ~ As someone who generally doesn’t like “exercise” but knows she should, and who’s too slow/poor for dance classes but would love to actually be good at some sort of gross-motor skill that’s either useful or beautiful, this app was exactly what I needed. The yearly fee seemed high until I considered that I would pay an in-person teacher just as much for just a few lessons, plus have to travel to his/her gym. There’s a suitable variety of short training videos before the workouts - a balance of moves, theory, and mental/emotional empowerment. The workouts are short enough to fit into my busy mornings but also around the right level of challenge, with the option to mark workouts as too hard, too easy, or just right. My one wish is that I could pinpoint which exercises/types of exercises are too hard or too easy. I was shortcutting on several hard ones involving abs and arms because I just couldn’t do them fully, and finally decided to mark a workout as “too hard,” but now I get fewer combos - which I was enjoying - and less aerobic exercise - which I need - and still one or two core exercises that are too hard. (Jackknives?! Are you kidding me?! I couldn’t even do the bicycles and plank pushups before I hit “too hard”!) That’s cut into my enthusiasm a bit, but there’s still plenty of good learning and I suppose eventually it will work back up to a more interesting level and I can just keep taking shortcuts on the exercises that I can’t do. And maybe one day I’ll find I can do them!

This is the first time I’ve ever done anything remotely physical and didn’t hate it. I actually came back the very next day. I’m 40 and that has never happens with anything other than yoga. I am sweating and out of breath, it I am also just a little more confident too. (I’ve only gotten to day 2, and I’m still excited for tomorrow.)First time ever. 🥰

This is a great app and a fun way to get in shape. My only problems are that you can’t opt out of doing certain workouts or switch them out. It’s very all or nothing. It’s frustrating. Certain workouts are much more difficult than others and the only way to rate it is by categorizing the entire thing.Another thing is that there isn’t enough of a cool down. I’d also really love if there were more tips to protect yourself from getting hurt while doing the workout. Almost threw out my back while doing kicks. Usually in kickboxing classes, they’ll give you tips to ensure you don’t injure yourself, there isn’t much of that.
