Athenian Self Defense Woman's Self Defense Seminars: Specializing in College Campus Violence Prevention
 

Below are a few messages we have received in regards to our training and teaching methods:

Thanks again for putting together the self defense session last night! I know you probably feel it was too brief and hardly touched on everything that we could possibly learn, since you love to beat people up , but believe me you gave us some GREAT tips that I had never thought of nor heard before. Having worked downtown for years, I’m a freak about how to stay “safe” and have run many a scenario through my head of how to get away, now I have more in my bag of tricks.

I went home last night and my husband asked me about what I learned. When I told him some of the ways to get away, he was shocked at how simple yet effective they were. I plan on passing that knowledge on to all of my girlfriends, even if through email only. I would hate for anything to ever happen to them just because they weren’t thinking of these simple ways to get away. Just last weekend we all met at main street St. Charles for dinner and drinks, and in a setting like that, nobody can plan to park next to one another. We are good about walking each other to their cars, but sometimes you just don’t think, and you say, nah, I’ll be fine.

This was a good reminder to never turn down a friend walking with you to your destination. Thanks again!

I just want to start by saying thank you for everything that you have done for our company and each individual that walks in the fitness center. I think everyone extremely appreciates having the opportunity to have you as our trainer (at least most of the time).

As for me, you bringing jujitsu into my life has changed me quite a bit. Before I was working out pretty regularly and I enjoyed that but I had a lot of personal obstacles that I faced in 2007. When I first started taking jujitsu, I wasn’t sure if I was really going to stick to it. I had a many things I was going through at the time and didn’t know if I could dedicate myself to the sport. But what I realized is, it really took my mind off what was really going on and for some strange reason put my mind at ease. It really got me through the one of the toughest times in my life. I have fallen for the sport completely. I had never really had a hobby before and now I can proudly say I have a hobby in jujitsu. Not only is it a great stress reliever but I can now protect myself. Unlike many others, I will never be someone’s victim. Thank you Brian for showing me what you are so passionate about. I think you’re going to make a fighter out of me one day.

Brian has been an instructor of mine for two years now. He absolutely has a gift for teaching. Brian works well with men, women and children of all ages. Not only is he professional and personable, but he has the ability to make all students feel comfortable. While giving easy to understand instruction, he is patient with his students, allowing them to learn at their own pace. Without question, I would recommend Brian to anyone just beginning martial arts/self defense or to someone looking to improve upon their skills in these areas.
