Short Story: Mia’s Success
Mia works long hours at a grocery store near 5th Avenue. She once felt nervous walking to her car alone at night. One evening, she joined our class after a late shift. After a few weeks, she learned simple wrist escapes and confident stances. Now she heads home with her head held high. That small boost in confidence came from just showing up and practicing.
