S9 Episode 137: Wax On, Wax Off

What does The Karate Kid have to do with real-world self-defense? Everything. Continuing in the kitchen, this episode explores how wiping counters, kicking the fridge closed, and sweeping the floor are actually training your body for effective blocks, strikes, and takedowns.

Highlights:

● Wiping in circles = real block and redirect training

● Side-kicking your fridge builds striking mechanics

● Sweeping = elbow control and takedown practice
