About
In a world full of "YouTube Experts" and board-breaking black belts, there are few Self-Defense instructors who have actually fought for their lives and can teach real-world techniques that actually work. This is what I do. As a SWAT officer, I've fought for my life numerous times. In addition, I've studied martial arts for nearly 40 years and have acquired four black belts. I've taught thousands of people throughout the USA and abroad. This is the real deal...no phony choreographed Hollywood/YouTube techniques that only work when someone is taking video. This is a serious topic, but I also make it FUN and you are guaranteed to smile and laugh during training. I'm not the "tough-guy" trainer. I am very compassionate and patient. So, let's get started! :) I change lives. I know that many of my students have been through bad situations. I enjoy taking them out of that "helpless" state and bringing them into a state of empowerment. For those who have never experienced a "bad situation", I enjoy preparing them with the skills to defend themselves in the event that such an incident occurs. My goal is to change the statistics of rape and sexual assault by providing information, strategies and training that mentally and physically prepares women to FIGHT BACK effectively.

Kendrick was my Brazilian Ju Jitsu instructor for a year or so, when I dabbled and he is one of the best instructors that I've ever had the privilege of learning from. I have 25yrs in the martial arts and hold a 2nd degree black belt in Bando, so I've had my fair share of instructors during that time. Ken's knowledge of BJJ was impressive, but what I found more impressive was his ability to break down every part of the technique in a simple manner, making it easy for the whole class to follow along. He took as much time as necessary to make sure everyone learned the technique, not because it was the lesson for the moment, but because he wanted everyone to be able to defend themselves. I cannot recommend Ken highly enough as an inductor, in any capacity. If he's teaching, you WILL learn!
