Elizabeth L. says, "Jesse is extremely professional. All females should feel safe to walk around and not feel like their life is in danger. As a mom, I have to ensure the safety of my child, in addition to myself. Knowing the techniques Jesse teaches and having the confidence to know how to respond in situations that unfortunately are inevitable in this world, are necessary. It’s sad that we have to be able to protect ourselves as females just taking a walk around town. But having the confidence to know that if I am in an unfortunate situation, I can defend myself is priceless. I highly recommend Ballbusters. And come on, who doesn’t want to have a little bit of fun at the same time you’re learning to defend yourself?"See more

Reviews for Austin self defense instructors on Thumbtack

From Dustin L.

Adam Wile
Adam Wile
Adam has been awesome to work with. Instead of throwing me into a program he spent time creating a plan based on my goals. Having a chaotic work schedule, Adam has worked with me to adjust as needed. We have trained namely by Zoom to date and the workouts have still been amazing. Adam’s skill set covers multiple facets of training: flexibility, breathing, strength training and martial arts. The majority of our time to date has focused on strength training (I’m training for a physically demanding hunt) but I’m looking forward to the next phase which will be martial arts and self-defense.
