Spotting danger early, positioning yourself intelligently, using your voice, managing distance — we’re all capable of that.
Training isn’t built on strength or explosiveness, but on judgement, anticipation and a few simple principles that work just as well at 15 as at 60.
In fact, most of the safety work happens before contact.
