Valenti Sensai is phenomenal and has nurtured an environment of learning and support fully geared towards self defense. I have to drive a bit to get to his classes, but I have not found another studio with anywhere near the same level of knowledge, care, and intentionality. Cannot recommend enough.

My daughter and I took Michael's self defense class together as she is a new driver and wanted to give her some tools to be safe and more confident. From day one we started learning techniques for self defense that were easy to grasp and utilize if needed. Michael is very encouraging and personable. He takes time to make sure techniques are accurate, but also gives adjustments to make them more adaptable for the individual. It is obvious he loves what he does and wants everyone he teaches to be the best and strongest version of themselves. Highly recommend!!

Michael takes his time in teaching you, I cannot stress how important this class has been for both mental and physical state. The environment is super friendly, the techniques you learn apply to day-to-day life, I highly recommend.
