Introduction: I am a certified Personal Defense Readiness (PDR) instructor with Blauer Tactical Systems, a worldwide leader in self-defense training. I’m also a 2nd degree black belt and certified taekwondo instructor. Personal Defense Readiness (PDR) is a reality-based self-defense system, effective at preparing you for the real world. It’s easy to learn regardless of your previous experience. Unlike most self-defense systems that rely on strength, speed, and coordination, the techniques in the PDR program builds upon the functional movements you already know how to perform. You’ll learn how to employ body position, technique, and timing, so regardless of age or athletic ability, you can make them work against larger opponents. I've been teaching martial arts and self-defense for 10+ years and love leading my students through the process of gaining confidence, awareness and acquiring the skills to protect themselves in a violent situation. Students learn blocks, strikes and immobilization holds, and how to strike vulnerable attacker targets (head, face, throat, groin, etc.). In addition to technical self-defense skills, we will work on situational awareness, self-confidence, and “finding your voice”.

I had very little time and no previous martial arts experience. Dan, co-owner of Burg Fitness, tailored a custom self-defense training session including the psychology of assaults, how to detect, defuse an attack and how to defend myself if physically confronted. I feel better now about being able to keep myself safe while traveling alone around the US and internationally. His gym also offers kickboxing, spin and TRX classes, and personal fitness training. I recommend checking them out!

Dan has taught me so much in the 6 months we have been working together. He is a great teacher, incredibly knowledgeable, and has so much experience. We have worked on the SPEAR self-defense system, special situations, mental training and kick-boxing skills. The workouts are amazing, and I am so much more confident than when we started. You will not find a more knowledgeable and experienced coach who is as engaged and hands-on as Dan – he will help you accomplish your goals!

Great coach, with lots of experience. No unnecessary roughness ;) Fair value. Works for any age group. Dan will definitely listen to YOUR wishes and requirements, and work quite individually with you! Not many like him ... Highly recommended

Thanks for an amazing class @Dan! You are an amazing teacher. It far surpassed my expectations. I am so grateful that I dragged my teen girls to the class. They admitted afterward that they were really glad they went and learned a ton. We ALL benefitted so much--we gained skills, awareness, and confidence. All while having a BLAST! I really believe that if confronted I have solid skills at my disposal to protect myself and those I love.

This is a great class for people of all levels. I learned that I already have the tools and skills with me every day to increase my survival odds and Dan showed me how to use them to get out of some not-so-friendly situations. The training is methodical at times and high-stress-save-your-ass at others. I would encourage anyone who asks to take this training.
