What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Mel Mc
"I can't tell you how wonderful the Women Empowered and Combative programs are. My husband and I did the 10 day free trial and were blown away. The environment is supportive, safe, and focused on real life self defense strategies. Plus finding an all female program was icing on the cake. 2.5 years later we are now training in the Master Cycle program and learning something new every class!"
preston copley
"Our son started as a seven year old 5-6 months ago. We are so happy with our experience. I credit so much of his maturing to the work he’s doing in class. He’s really become so much more focused and in control of himself. The lessons are great, but what’s really extraordinary are the instructors themselves. They’re all so positive, encouraging, and terrific with children of all ages and interests. Highly recommend!"
Susan Ruble
"I love watching my granddaughter learning safety moves to help if ever in a bad situation. It is a great place. Great teachers."
Nalee E.
"My son has been going for over 2 years now and loves it! All the instructors are great, valuable skills are learned, respect and discipline are incorporated into the sessions and the best fun of all is the “ball-game” at the end."
