Some of my students have served in the military, work in law enforcement while others are everday people wanting to know how to defend themselves or improve their health.
- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
When selecting a self-defense training provider, the following should be considered to evaluate the value of the training: *Does the program come from real life training and experience in a field that deals with violence and criminals? *Where are the instructors getting their lesson plans? *Do students get a training manual? *Does the program have specific training for what they are advertising that they teach? *Can I verify with the affiliate company you are with that you are in good standing? *Is this program a brand or a single location? *How long has the program been around? *If you are a company/business/corporation and are looking for a self-defense trainer, ask how many companies has the program trained? *Where do you and your instructors get on-going training Your safety and safety of your family is the most important thing in the world. Ask the hard questions, do your research and be sure that the self-defense company you pick for your training is legitimately qualified to teach reality self-defense.
