The tips and techniques are very helpful. I feel prepared to defend myself in a variety of real world situations. I am also more aware of my body language, my surroundings and other signals bad people put off. Now I am empowered and confident walking to my car in the dark, getting gas in a not so great part of town or even at a crowded/loud bar. Justin did a great job walking us through the "why" and myth busting. No more relying on pepper spray or putting my keys between my fingers! Thanks so much!

Combatives This place is doing a fantastic job in training real people to handle real world everyday threats. The instructor Justin is incredibly knowledgeable and thankfully patient with everyone. All the Team Members make you feel welcome. Also, the rest of the staff was great at answering questions and explaining not only the moves, but why we apply it. They offer a flexible training schedule. They offer multiple chances to train during the week it, even Sundays. Since I travel so much I appreciate the flexibly. It's also very refreshing to train with real people, using real everyday language that's easy to understand. I highly recommend anyone who cares about their personal safety(and their family's safety) should at least pay this place a visit. There's no pressure and the training you get in your first class will be worth the visit.

I literally have gone 2 days out of the week and have lost 25 lbs over the last 4 months. They motivate you and push you to get that work and you do it without even knowing. I remember when I started telling Coach Caleb "My Fat ass can't do that" well just last week my not as fat ass did it.

I stayed to watch the entire session and I was extremely impressed. Edwin really engaged the girls and made them think about their safety. He taught situational awareness and had them do several hours of hand to hand self defense moves. Most of these girls have never hit anything, so for them fight to protect themselves was very empowering. I learned many moves that my own self defense class didn't teach me. I would recommend this class to anyone wanting a refresher and all parents wanting to give their kids some knowledge on what to do if they are attacked. Edwin and Terry were great instructors and the girls were so pumped up leaving the studio. Money and time well spent!

They are kind and welcoming and make you feel comfortable, remember your name and care about each person and commit to help each person learn at their pace. It was a wonderful experience.

Yes, every martial arts school out there likes to tout their particular discipline as a solution to self defense. The techniques taught at Ronin Self Defense Academy turns all of that on its head. If I have a need TODAY to learn self defense techniques, I need to learn those techniques TODAY (or as soon as possible). I'm not interested in waiting several years, wearing pajama-like uniforms, or competing in sporting events only to master techniques that may or may not work outside of a boxing ring or martial arts mat. I need to master reality-based self defense techniques that work in the real world, and I need to be able to master them ASAP. Ronin Self Defense Academy provides EXACTLY that. If you want to be able to master self defense techniques in MONTHS and not YEARS that work in the real world, I can't recommend Ronin Self Defense Academy more.
