Training in this class has been a life changing experience. It blows my mind all of the situations that could have arisen for which I would have had no response. Why guess how you'd react if you were attacked or had to defend yourself or your loved ones? Get a solid plan. From the first day of class I found that I carried myself differently. Justin is the best instructor I've ever had for anything I've ever tried to learn. Most rote schooling or other classic forms of teaching expect everyone to understand everything the same way. Justin gives you the explanation that YOU understand. I've had more lightbulbs go off from his teaching methods in a short amount of time than I've had with years in my other studies. Take this class. Change your life. Get a plan or passively be a victim.

I was a part of ACWA Combatives for about 5 years. When I first found them online, I had no selfdefense experience other than a kids karate class. I took their free first class to see if it was for me and I was instantly hooked! I signed up for 1 class a week to see if it was the real deal, and I can assure you it is. I thought before I signed up that Krav Maga or something similar was what I was looking for, but the material covered in this system is far more comprehensive and much more effective.After about a year in the program I reached out to Justin Everman, the head instructor to ask him about being an instructor myself. This was really only to get more training and further my skills, not as a way to become a teacher. The instructor program is unlike anything else out there if that's something that you are interested in.After a couple of years in the instructor program Mr. Everman approached me about actually teaching my own classes. This had not previously been part of my plan, but I agreed and started to teach my own classes. After about 6 months, I opened the doors to my own academy and had been teaching there for about a year. Unfortunately, my other businesses began to grow and I no longer had the time to teach or be part of the program anymore.If you are serious about wanting to learn how to protect yourself and your loved ones then this is your BEST option. I know the system and I know the organization and I promise that you can't find better out there. The mindset that you will learn from the class will begin to bleed into other areas of your life if you allow them, and it can absolutely transform your life for the better.1. Try the free class2. Sign up to take those classes3. Listen to your instructor4. Apply the knowledge that you learn5. Watch your life transformIf it can change me from what I was to what I am now, then it can change you as well. You just have to have the courage to walk through the door.

I have been a team member of A.C.W.A since January and I have learned so much. Each week I look forward to coming and bettering my skills. You learn the tools to defend from things that happen in real life situations. The instructors are super helpful and they make it easy to learn. The class can be intense sometimes but Justin makes it a fun atmosphere to train. This is a great program and I would recommend it to anyone.

My daughter and I currently attend A.C.W.A and love it! It is more than what we expected and everyone is very friendly. We walk out of each instruction feeling like we've learned simple yet effective tools to help protect ourselves. It has really boosted my daughters self confidence as well! I highly recommend these classes for not only adults (men and women), but kids as well.

This is practical, usable stuff that you can use the minute you leave the class. You don't have to wait years gradually working your way up through the ranks. This is way different from any martial art and Justin and his amazing instructors keep it light and interesting without losing effectiveness. It is instantly useful. There isn't a situation that you can present to the instructors that they can't give you a dozen ways to handle. I felt empowered and more self-confident after the first class yet, at the same time, want more and more. In short, this stuff works. You don't have to be fancy to be effective. Love the instructors and love the camaraderie.
