Introduction

I have had some people very close to me suffer through bullying and sexual assault and given my martial arts background (14 years of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, 3 years of Muay Thai and 3 years of Taekwondo); this is my way of giving back to the community. Unfortunately, most of us will be exposed to a confrontational situation at least once in our lifetime. Hopefully, in the majority of these, we'll be able to talk to our aggressor and avoid getting physical. However, there will be times when the aggressor is a schoolyard bully, an abusive partner, a racist, or a drunk who prides himself in having "50 bar fights" under his belt. In such cases, you or your loved ones have only one option, and that is self-defense. What I love about what I do is mentally and physically preparing you for the day when it counts the most.

Ali is professional, organized, and thorough with his teaching. I have only had one lesson so far but already feel more confident in my abilities to defend myself. I can't wait to see what the rest of the program holds.

I'm really enjoying my lessons with Dr. Alli. The lessons are a great workout in addition to learning how to defend myself. He is patient, provides great guidance, and tells me stories so that I am more aware of bad situations that could happen. I like that the sessions are so hands-on, and repetitive so that I can learn the muscle memory.

Training in Dr. Jaffri's class has been a life changing experience. I was taught the moves needed to get out of any situation. More importantly I was taught to think and react on my feet, I feel this is how he as a trainer takes his program deeper then others I've experienced. You never know what an attacker will do so he goes through every possible situation and instilled in you how to react. This is much more powerful then just teaching the "moves". As a rape and abuse survivor I finally have the confidence to walk the streeets without PTSD episodes. I highly recommend his self defense program.
