This is the best self defense course I have ever read. Everything is clearly explained and easy to understand! Phases 1 & 2 are very complementary and greatly enhanced my knowledge of self defense training. IMPECCABLE WORK!

This was as good as it gets for an off-site training. Stays to the point – excellent for a personal protection class I teach. The test will be a great reference forever.
