From Chad J.

My client Perry Home enjoyed the self defense course , we be using his services for other vendors.

Robert is very skilled at jiu jitsu. He’s a great personality and fun to be around. I’d recommend his services to anybody interested in self defense training.

From Jennifer M.

Robert knows his craft, he was very knowledgeable and professional! Whether your interested in self defense to know how to deal in a real situation, or learning how to fight/spar professionally, I recommend Robert. He was patient and made sure I understood the fundamentals/techniques he was teaching me. He answered any questions I had. I definitely look forward to keep working with him and see how far I can take this journey.

From Thumbtack Customer

Eaton Personal Defense

Eaton Personal Defense

As an absolute beginner, and having sifted through dozens of potentially gifted albeit incredibly boring instructors, I finally settled on Ken Eaton. The efficiency and care with which he passes his vast knowledge is unmatched, and his lessons are also outrageously fun. Ken possesses a lifetime of real world knowledge and experience in application and that is a serious consideration if you're aim is to learn self defense. There is no belt system, no memorization of complex poses, simply a raw and very genuine understanding of the biomechanics of fighting or defending yourself/loved ones with a degree of startling devastation. This guy is the real deal, if you've found his profile then you needn't look any further! Click that hire button and you may enjoy noticing just what you've been missing.
