Max designed a terrific 2 hour self defense class for my 18 year old daughter and 3 of her friends. The girls had a blast and learned so much! Thanks Max!

Max responded to my request for a self defense instructor within minutes. I needed someone on short notice for my daughter who is leaving for college in a couple days and Max was able to accommodate us. I watched the entire 2 hour session and was very impressed with his professionalism. My daughter was able to catch on quickly following his instructions and demonstrations. Max was great at explaining and gave many helpful hints that would help anyone in a tough situation. My daughter and I both learned a lot today. Thanks Max.

I hired Max to work individually with my 2 daughters, ages 11 and 16. They felt very comfortable with him. Max was direct and to the point and was able to teach them quite a lot in a short amount of time. My daughters both have more confidence after just one session. Max works well with kids and he is able to maintain their attention. He also explained the importance of confidence and not projecting fear. Max was very accommodating and met us in a location that was convenient for us. He checked in with his ETA and was very professional. We hope to become regular students. We enthusiastically recommend Max for self defense training.

Max is great to work with and he has a very pragmatic approach to self defense / martial arts. He has a very diverse background in training and he seems to select the components that work best given a particular context. He is direct and wants you to empower you with good technique and a strong mental framework. My introductory session went great, and I signed up for another block of classes - so far so good!

Max led a self defense training for a company women's group. Everyone left feeling empowered and stronger and more confident in themselves. Max was knowledgeable, great at explaining all the moves, and great with questions.
