My wife, two daughters, and I took the family self-defense class and really enjoyed it! My girls were a little hesitant, especially my 9 year old when we arrived and she saw the red and black paint scheme and the boxing dummies. But as soon as Darren started talking, I could see their uneasiness melt away. He was very friendly and his approach made a very serious topic less intimidating for the kids. The staff was great as well, and my oldest especially enjoyed working with Sid. I can’t say enough good things about the experience!
My nieces and I took the family self-defense class and they had a blast. Prior to the class, I didn’t know what to expect and I wasn’t sure how they would do at their age (9 & 10) but it was awesome. The instructors were great! They walked the class through each move, so everyone would understand and the girls had a blast. I was not disappointed and will definitely recommend this class to others.
I really liked the chance to work with my child. The material built on itself nicely, allowing for repeating the moves without becoming stale...top notch. Lots of fun!!
We took the family self defense seminar and we were very pleased. It was a fun, safe environment where we could try something like this out. We had no experience (martial arts, etc.), but it didn’t matter. Our 8 year old daughter loved it and was really able to let loose and gain confidence. I highly recommend!
Super impressed with Darren’s ability to engage a jaded teenager who’d rather be playing video games. We’ll definitely be back!
This was a wonderful introduction for all of our family. We all loved it and I know especially our kids will benefit from this. It’s a great workout and so much fun too.
We thought it was a fun introduction to Krav and a good way to teach the kids about defending themselves, teaching them about keeping their distance and speaking up. The instructor was relatable and fun.
Darren had great energy and is great with the kids. Not too scary and perfect for first timers. A really safe environment to practice self defense - we learned a lot!
We did a family self-defense class and we had a great time while learning real-life strategies to protect ourselves and get home safe. I loved how they gave us real-life scenarios and equipped us with ways to not be a victim but also how things would actually work in reality - not just learning moves for the sake of it. It’s really all about how to protect and defend yourself. The owner and instructor had humor and made you feel comfortable around this topic.
I took my 9 year old daughters to a family self defense seminar recently, and we were very impressed.

One of my girls was anxious at first and didn’t want to participate. Once she heard Darren say “nobody is allowed to touch you if you don’t want them to,” her ears perked up and she was interested.

By the end of the seminar, their confidence was boosted and they even hugged one of the instructors to say thanks!

Both girls are asking to go back, which I love.
We took the Family Self Defense Seminar and the instructor was great, he did a good job of delivering a lot of knowledge in a short time frame. We learned a lot. Definitely going back for more classes in the near future.
Loved the class! Darren brought us to a fun place where it was easy to see how powerful we can be. Great spirit, sense of humor - loved his teaching style.
Great overview and really liked the ideas for parent/child “horse play” and the ways to practice principles and technique with our kids.
I thought the seminar was great. We covered a lot of material and the kids had a blast!
Excellent class- thank you! We want to see more! Really liked the scenario type drills and how to deal with different situations.
Loved the instructor. Excellent lessons that were fun and valuable for self defense! Easy-going environment, nice facility. Empowering and builds confidence. Great for kids to learn alongside their parents!
I liked that it started by putting the kids at ease. The intensity and realism was just right for first time kids.
