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!
