Hear From Those Who’ve Trained With Us
Hands Down, the Best Defense Course
"I learned more real-world defense skills in this 4-day training than I did in a year of self-defense/martial arts classes. This training is the real deal. The techniques are simple, easy to learn, but would be extremely effective in real life. This is by far the best personal protection course I've taken."
-Matt Petersen
An Incredible Instructor
"The instructor has decades of real-world experience that he applied to the class and it’s very valuable. I really liked the real-life examples to make it more relatable and I liked that I came away feeling confident about my protection rather than scared. I think the class is great…I just wish I brought my wife!"
-Eric T.
Informative and Fun!
