Active Defense Solutions
About
I do not teach specific techniques or a martial art. Self defense is about survival, not being fancy
I teach REALITY based self defense. This is Force-on-Force training with a padded partner(myself) to provide a realistic response-training that is second to none.
I will teach 1-on-1 and virtually any size group. I teach personal self-protection as well as Home Defense, Active Shooter Response, as well as Office /Work Safety Response.
This can be a one time class to learn the ‘basics’ or an ongoing situation where we can develop skills and response time. Infinitely scalable.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
Initially we will decide what your goals and concerns are. Figuring out what you want to accomplish with this training will help me to ascertain how in-depth we will need to go.
Ongoing lessons can be available depending on your goals and how you'd like to maintain and train these skills moving forward.
I can work with any location. Public parks, backyards, community centers. There is no space I cannot work with.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am a lifelong martial artist. However, I do not teach an art or techniques that you will inevitably forget in the heat of the moment. I was introduced to reality based self defense many years ago and immediately understood what my karate training had been lacking. What I teach is a combination of my entire life's training devoted to personal safety and how to effectively deal with violence.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
I generally work out a flat fee per lesson but most of the time I charge 75$ for a 90 minute lesson for two people. (Having a buddy means you have a training partner right away)
How did you get started teaching?
I have been teaching Karate and Self Defense concepts for over 30 years.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with all ages, businesses, families, medical and psychiatric offices, even athletes who simply want fear management training.
