I've only had 1 session with David and he is an amazing person and instructor. He is very skilled in his art, and very understanding of people like myself who are just learning. If I could give him a 10 ☆ rating I would. Thank you David.

I’ve been bringing my 4 year old here for about a month and I can already see a difference! She listens more in class vs running around silly the whole time. Coach Dave and Coach Bobby are literal angels with the kids. They’re so patient but also stern in a way that makes me feel comfortable. So glad to have found this class for her!
Dave’s class was very informative and he really made sure we were comfortable with every step. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking to learn how to defend yourself
