“After college, I gained 85 pounds. I was always a competitive athlete;
you can imagine my frustration and depression after my failed attempts at the gym. Well, I finally got off my butt and took the plunge. I have lost
45 pounds and I’m still loosing!!!! My workouts have purpose and they’re a blast.
My training began as a way to loose weight, now it’s a part of my life.”
-Roger J.

“I got back into fighting shape!”

“I have always wanted to start some kind of martial arts. After procrastinating for a few years, I decided to take the 10 Lesson Self Defense Course. Of course, I was tentative at first, would the pace be too fast, would I be looked down upon by the more experienced members?
That couldn’t be farther from the truth. Everyone from the Instructor to
the students made me feel welcome. I try to make it to every class I can. I
will meet my training goals.”
– Jason O.

“I finally stopped procrastinating”

“When I started, I didn’t really know is martial arts training was for me.
Quickly I learned that hard work pays off immeasurably. The workouts are well worth the effort. Now I’m in better shape than any gym membership or training routine I could dream up. Now, I look forward to every workout!”
-Chuck G.

“Hard work always pays off”

“There have been so many positives that training has brought to me that I
hardly know where to begin. Of course, I’ve gotten into great shape and I know how to defend myself. That’s a given. But, the biggest positive, the one I’m most proud of, is that my training with the Instructors, has provided me with the discipline and the motivation to have finally quit smoking for good. I never anticipated this would be a byproduct of training when I first walked through the doors”.
-William B.

“I even quit smoking!!!”

“The knowledge and experience I have gained from the 10 Lesson Self Defense Course is second to none and may in fact save my life or the life of a fellow officer.”

“I have taken other courses in the past and none had the fun and supportive atmosphere that the 10 Lesson Self Defense Program has. The
skills taught are practical and easy to use. From day one, you learn techniques that will save your life.
…And did I mention you’ll never get a better work out anywhere else?”
-Joe S.

“You’ll never get a better work out!”

“Here I strive for inner strength and courage. Its here that brings me
closer to living to my convictions. I train with amazing men and women
that have become part of me.

“Mother of two lives up to her own expectations”

“After 7 Years in the corporate world I found myself becoming very out of shape. I didn’t want to be like my oworkers, overweight and lethargic.
Despite exercising at the gym after work I was steadily gaining weight and I had a real problem maintaining a steady energy level. Since I started training in the 10 Lesson Self Defense Program, I have lost 4 inches off my waste and my energy level is great- I feel like I’m 18 again!!!
I look forward to everyday I can train, I never felt that way going to the gym.”
-Ian F.

“IT Engineer Wins the Battle of the ‘Corporate’ Bulge”

“10 Lesson Self Defense is a well-run program with a warm, open atmosphere. I enjoy the open discussions but when it’s time to get
serious…every does.

When I first joined, I was sure of two things, I would make a fool of
myself and I wouldn’t stick with it. Well, I was wrong. I never felt judged
by my Instructor or my classmates. I was only given praise and
encouragement.
I can’t imagine quitting now. I feel confident that in any “situation” I will
give my assailant a run for his money!”

I love the fact that I get to train with men as well as women. It gives me
an accurate perspective of my skills and some surprising ones too!
During those stressful days of being a mother a wife and an entrepreneur,
I look forward to getting to the dojo to work up a good sweat and release
the stress and that feeling you get after time well spent.”
-Stacey G.

“Working Mom Releases Stress by Throwing the Boys Around”

“I just came from class my adrenaline is still pumping. I was riding home
saying what parish am I in? What street is nearby? What landmark is
nearby? Am I alert? Alert to threat that is out there, the threat is real and I must be alert at all times. The classes teach me how to deal with that adrenaline dump that occurs when you are being attacked. My reactions must, I repeat MUST be convulsive, ruthless and all or nothing or I will be injured, assaulted, robbed or murdered. This class has been
empowering, uplifting, encouraging and rewarding. The accredited
instructor, Reuben is an excellent teacher. I look forward to continue to
learn under his and The Self- Defense Company’s direction.
Many, many thanks for offering such a wonderful program to Bermuda
and the World. Love, Happiness and Peace.
-Catherine B.
