Anthony has providing my fiance and I selfdefense lessons for a few weeks now. The sessions combine selfdefense and basic strengthening exercises. He is amazing and kicks our butt every session! He is extremely responsive to our needs and continues to work with us patiently until we understand the moves.

Evan was very thorough in his explanation of the various self-defense techniques, even going as far to touch on some of the theoretical concepts behind self-defense. With respect to his in-depth knowledge, we wished there was less theory and more practicality for the price paid, but we were grateful for the little that we were able to go over.

Zurriane was amazing!!! I hired Zurriane to provide a selfdefense class for me and my friends for a girls weekend. He made the class fun and really engaging. He focused on the mental and physical aspects of selfdefense and answered specific questions from the girls on how to handle situations they had questions on. He was accomodating and flexible and I would definitely hire him again in the future!

Mr. Dozier is a dynamic instructor. He works well with our youth group weekly to teach them self-defense. The children absolutely love the intensity, excitement relevance and rigor of the instruction. His calm yet stern demeanor keeps the children highly engaged and returning each week for more fun. Mr. Dozier shows up on time with a positive attitude and high energy! He is respectful and knowledgeable of the techniques and moves of self-defense. Mr. Dozier is an asset to our youth program. Thank you, Mr. Dozier for not only sharing your expertise, but for building confidence and self- discipline simultaneously.

Wonderful selfdefense training session! I reached out to Zurriane for some tips on how to protect myself in the city. He opened my eyes to all the ways I could defend myself without using a weapon. He taught me techniques for different scenarios and gave me his book to read for more information. The most important thing I learned from him is the mental aspect of protecting yourself. It was extremely valuable! I suggest him to anyone interested in selfdefense. He has a wealth of knowledge that everyone should tap into.

Franciscan Mission Service hired Mr. Bennett to teach a comprehensive introductory self-defense class to our volunteers who are based in Washington, DC and our missioners who are training to serve overseas. We appreciated that he took time to have an in-depth conversation with an FMS staff member prior to the session in order to gain a better understanding of the class participants and the specific goals our organization had for the class. Mr. Bennett then tailored the class based on these goals and he covered the necessary self-defense skills that our volunteers would need in different possible situations that might come up serving in a city and being abroad.
Mr. Bennett's passion and pride for his work translated into a positive attitude that kept the class upbeat and energized for the entire time. Our volunteers left the class with newly acquired skills and were grateful that the session was a part of their volunteer training. If you hire him, you will not be disappointed in his professional, practical, and fun class!

I’ve been taking selfdefense lessons with Anthony for about 3 months now and it has been great. He breaks down movements and explains things in a way that’s easy for a beginner to understand, and is great at tailoring workouts to my needs. I work in an emergency room where patients often become violent, and Anthony takes situations I’ve seen or my co-workers have seen and shows me how to defend myself. You can tell from your first session with Anthony that he not only is an expert in what he does, but that he loves what he does. He makes working out fun. I leave our sessions completely exhausted, as he works you hard for the full time. He’s also great at working around my crazy schedule. I enjoy our sessions so much I’ve been passing out his business cards to all my work friends!
