      "question": "Is MMA effective for street self-defense?",
      "answer": "Yes. MMA is widely considered the most effective martial art for real-world self-defense because it covers all combat ranges: striking at distance, clinch fighting and ground control. MMA practitioners train against fully resisting opponents, which builds genuine combat readiness."
    },
    {
      "question": "What's the best combat sport for real situations?",
      "answer": "MMA and BJJ are the most effective for real situations. MMA covers all ranges of combat. BJJ is particularly effective because most street confrontations end up on the ground, and BJJ specialises in ground control and submissions. Boxing and Kick Boxing develop excellent reflexes and striking power. At Davinci Fighting in Evere, all four disciplines are taught."
    },
    {
      "question": "Should I choose a self-defense course or a combat sport if I want real results?",
      "answer": "If you want durable physical skill under pressure, combat sports are the stronger choice because they train timing, distance and decision-making against resistance. A self-defense workshop can still help with awareness and avoidance."
    },
    {
      "question": "Do I need hard sparring to learn real self-defense?",
      "answer": "No. Beginners start with controlled drills and progressive live work. Useful self-defense skill comes from structured resistance and repetition, not from getting smashed in the first class."
