What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Jr Smith
"Myself and several others took the SafeWrap class here. It was very well taught. We were there about 6 hours but other than a few sore, seldom used muscles, I felt great. The trainers were very thorough and definitely knew the material. They were very good about talking us through the motions when we were struggling. I never felt like I was talked down to our felt out of place. The team here is incredible."

"My girls love Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. And I love that they are learning self defense and gaining self confidence at an early age."
Darrin Neubauer
"I recently completed Safe Wrap training, and I can confidently say it was an exceptional experience! The training provided invaluable techniques on how to safely and effectively manage a hostile person without causing harm. The methods were not only practical but also focused on maintaining dignity and respect in difficult situations. What truly made this training stand out was the instructor. Their expertise, patience, and clear explanations made learning incredibly easy and engaging. They broke down each step in a way that was simple to understand and apply in real-life scenarios. Thanks to their guidance, I feel much more confident in handling challenging situations safely and effectively. I highly recommend this training to any church looking to improve their skills in de-escalation and safe intervention. A big thank you to the instructor and team for such a valuable experience!"
Maggie Heppner
"The BEST experience! We went as a sorority to Women Empowered and it was great! Staff was so nice and it was a great environment! Hopefully I will be coming back!"
