Description: The Missouri National Guard 311th Brigade Support Battalion, Co. A out of Nevada, recently went through a combative self-defense class instructed by Sgt. 1st Class Shawn Franklin and Sgt. Ryan Herda. Franklin explained that the class involves a combination of muay thai, kickboxing and wrestling. With the help of Herda, Franklin conducted his planned lessons that involved Soldiers practicing strikes, take downs, and submissions. At the end of the day, the Soldiers tested their new skills by teaming up in groups of two against Franklin. In the test, the Soldiers were required to prevent Franklin from crossing into their territory and were forced to take him down if he persisted. (Photo Spc. Sarah Vasquez)
