    I'm seriously hooked from one class, which is my free trial. Michael is extremely information and knows what he's doing, plus entertaining and funny! I've tried different classes and they teach everyone the same, Michael used a different approach that I'm accustomed to. He asked why I was there and work around my needs not just wants.
    I learned sooo much in one free class than I did paying for bbj. He's gentle yet powerful...I HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

    My biggest take away today was learning how to prevent a situation from getting out of hand, yet being prepared if it did.

    We’ve been working with school of self defense for six months as a family with our 12 and 7 year old. Our instructor is very knowledgeable and fun and always willing to follow our curiosity as we talk about conditioning, protecting ourselves and others, and dipping into some weapons training too. He uses games with our kids to give them engaging ways to learn and practice important movements. I’m so glad we found this great family activity and helping all of us learn how to defend ourselves and protect others if the need should arise.

    Michael was great with our group of female high school juniors. So genuine and authentic! Go see him!
