Effective Arts Jiujitsu Academy

“I attended Effective Arts Women’s Self Defense Seminar in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Owner/Instructors Dave & Greg with the assistance of Dennis & Carlton, taught us valuable techniques and self defense moves to keep up safe in these changing times. I look forward to the upcoming Women Defense classes. I encourage all women to invest in themselves by enrolling in a self defense class. Kudo’s to you DAVE & GREG! Many blessings to you both for hosting this seminar for PUMP UP A CURE, INC. Leanita S. Taylor Founder/Survivor Pump Up a Cure,Inc. Breast Cancer Awareness Nonprofit”
