THANK YOU JB:

Had the pleasure of attending the basic level self-defense class. A friend recommended the class - so why not! Saying it was fun doesn't quite explain the session, although it was fun - it was more about not becoming a statistic in today's criminal society. (JB)

THANK YOU M ROBINSON:

Wonderful beyond belief! The class was centered around giving you a momentary opportunity to escape from an attacker. It is NOT a course on how to fight an opponent. Basic subjects discussed were geared towards awareness, prevention, and escape. The instructor wasn't concerned about proper form or whether or not you joined his business, he was focused on each individual in the class, and tailored escape techniques based upon size, stance, and individual abilities. (M. Robinson)

THANK YOU SARAH J

Took the introductory self-defense class a couple weekends ago and it was awesome! Charles was patient, accommodating, and understanding, even though I was running late. He was very thorough which made me leave feeling as though I learned so much in only two hours. (Sarah J)

THANK YOU LEI:

"Changing the furniture in your mind" that is the phrase that Charles Gooden the owner of Victory Martial Arts and Fitness uses so you can debunk the myth about protecting yourself. Who says a small woman can't disarm someone twice as big? (Lei)

THANK YOU LISA:

Loved everything about this self-defense class! I just recently took the Self Defense Class, this is completely out of my comfort zone and I not only walked away feeling like I learned something it was a lot of fun. (Lisa H)

THANK YOU KRISTY:

We took a self-defense class with Charles and while we had fun, we also walked away with useful tactical moves. Charles' style of teaching had us engaged and moving. He spoke of the fight, flight or freeze response in situations and ensured we understood how to keep our mind engaged and thinking ahead. We were a mixed age group and he was able to teach us defensive moves that all 3 generations could use. I recommend taking the self-defense class and learning from Charles. (Kristy P)

WHAT THEY ARE SAYING ABOUT US:

A group of us took Charles introductory self-defense class. It was an awesome experience with a wealth of useful information to protect ourselves in different situations. Charles made the class interesting and fun and gave us a good workout throughout the class. Coach Mike also joined and helped out. We had such a great experience that we are going to take more classes. Definitely worth your time and the skills gained is priceless. (Momma Bear)
