If you want to get some self-defense training for yourself or someone that you care about, then…read morestop looking any further and give Rod Scott from Intense Defense a call! We own a boutique hair salon in Downtown Danville and after getting several harassing phone calls from a weirdo, we decided to get some self-defense training for our entire staff, as we truly consider them all family. So the search began for a reputable trainer...and it went on for over a week just trying to get someone to call us back! Then I realized, why not try looking for a great instructor on Yelp? And that's where we found Rod Scott! He promptly returned our call on a Friday morning and scheduled a private session with all of our stylists for that following Monday morning! Rod was 10-minutes early and did the training at our location, so he could see what challenges our specific location posed from a security perspective. I never would have thought of this, but as Rod explained, it doesn't make much sense to hold self-defense classes in a gym or studio environment, when instead he can come to your location and see things through the eyes of an attacker and then educate you on how to defend yourself accordingly! Our 3-hour class was incredible and all of our stylists left with the same high level of confidence that they are now empowered to protect themself in any situation. I should point out that in addition to Rod teaching you all of the various physical aspects, strategic moves and pressure points that will fend off a would-be attacker, he also does 1 hour of common sense interactive lecture that really opens your eyes to how to eliminate yourself as a target in the first place and how to be MUCH more aware of your surroundings than what you are now...even if you thought you already were aware, trust me! Bottom line, if you are truly interested in the best self-defense training available for yourself or someone you care about, then give Rod Scott a call. There is no doubt that the 3-hours you spend with him could be the difference between you becoming a statistic or not! As a true testament to how great this class was, 3 of our stylists are scheduling classes for their family members to attend Rod's training! Honestly, if we could have given Rod Scott 10-Stars we would have!

My friend and I really enjoyed it and ended up pushing ourselves more than we expected thanks to how motivating the group and instructor were. We felt comfortable the whole time, and it made for a really good workout. The class was really well structured and super easy to follow. Safety and proper form were clearly a priority, and Zee gave individual attention throughout the session to make sure everyone was doing the exercises correctly and getting the most out of the workout. The gym itself was very nice, and since you're so focused on the workout, the class flies by so fast!
