Since late February of 2024, I’ve had the incredible opportunity to train with Jerry Adams and I can confidently say that it has been one of the most empowering experiences of my life. From the very first session, it was clear that Jerry possesses an exceptional level of expertise and a genuine passion for teaching self-defense. I’d honestly felt like I’d found a new home. Expertise and Knowledge: Jerry brings a wealth of knowledge to every class. With a background in multiple martial arts and self-defense disciplines, coupled with an extensive military and federal operational background, what he brings to the table is effective, real-world, no B.S. experience. Teaching Style: What truly sets Jerry apart is his ability to teach direct, effective techniques and scenario based fundamentals in a way that is accessible to everyone, regardless of their skill level. He is open, funny, patient, encouraging, and always ready to offer personalized guidance. Whether you're a complete beginner or an experienced martial artist, Jerry meets you where you are and helps you progress at your own pace. Practical Application: The training is highly practical and focuses on real-world scenarios. Jerry emphasizes situational awareness, de-escalation techniques, and the importance of mindset in self-defense. We regularly practice drills that simulate realistic situations, which not only improve our skills but also boost our confidence in our ability to protect ourselves and our loved ones. Safety and Inclusivity: Safety is a top priority in every session. Jerry ensures that his students practice techniques safely and respect each other’s boundaries. He trains out of his home and the environment is relaxing and welcoming, fostering a close knit sense of family among the students. Regardless of age, gender, or fitness level, each member of our small group feels comfortable and supported. Motivation and Encouragement: One of the most remarkable aspects of training with Jerry is the constant motivation and encouragement he provides. His enthusiasm is infectious, making each session not only educational but also incredibly fun and engaging. His dedication and willingness to spend HOURS with his students without any regard to “the clock” is just one expression of how much he loves those he brings under his wing. (and he’s very careful about who he trains. No egos…no elitist belt collectors or wannabe Ken Shamrock Alpha-boys here.) Results: Since starting my training with Jerry, not only do I feel like I’ve found a new brother, but I’ve personally seen a significant improvement in my physical fitness, self-confidence, and overall awareness. I feel more empowered and capable of handling challenging situations. The skills I've learned are invaluable, and I am grateful for the positive impact he has had on my life. In conclusion, I highly recommend Jerry Adams to anyone seeking to learn self-defense. His unparalleled expertise, exceptional teaching style, and unwavering commitment to his students' safety and growth makes him an outstanding instructor. Training with Jerry is a transformative experience that equips you with the skills and confidence to navigate the world more safely and assertively. Five stars, no question!

I can’t rave enough about our experience with Jerry Adams and Close Quarter’s Fundamentals thus far. I have long wanted to find a private instructor to help my family, particularly my teens, really learn and internalize self defense strategies. We do ongoing martial arts, etc, but also really still wanted focused, real world, directly applicable and practical, tactical self defense training. Thrilled to have found that with Mr. Adams. My teens (girl and boy) loved working with him for initial learnings, and our son has opted to keep going with continued weekly sessions at our home; we’ll have our daughter do additional intensive bootcamps with him before leaving for college. Mr. Adams is great to work with - highly knowledgeable/credible, patient, fun to work with, very professional, flexible, punctual and reliable. Can’t recommend highly enough!

Wonderful experience working with Mr. Adams. He takes the time to ensure your experience fits your needs. He is both graceful and knowledgeable and does not expect you to be an immediate expert. I feel comfortable working with him and look forward to continuing our relationship.
