Camillia Trammell
"Attended a women's self defense class. It was amazing. Learned so much about being aware as well as techniques to use. Great time. Will definitely be back."
June Ritterbusch

"Steve trained my son for almost 2 years beginning at age 5. When we moved, the instruction was solid and enabled my son to enter another program and be ahead of other students at his belt level. He continues to exhibit better form than peers and often performs class demonstrations with instructor because his early instruction was so solid. Would highly recommend."
