Testimonials
I'm so glad I participated in this program. Not only does Tim demonstrate hands on techniques, but he teaches you how to identify and avoid potentially dangerous situations and people. It's never too late to take this class. Tim's enthusiasm and passion for spreading awareness on this important topic makes his program stand out from all the rest. Thanks Tim!

By the end [of the class], I felt confident, like I could be fearless, like I could take on anyone, even a man twice my size. The more we practiced, the more empowered I felt. I will no longer be the clueless girl walking around campus unaware. I will be alert, aware and ready to defend myself if any harm comes my way. Read the Kent Stater article.

Preventing & Surviving Violence was an excellent training seminar on self defense. Tim was able to engage the entire group with his wealth of knowledge and tremendous presence. The learning was rich and useful. I would recommend this training for any group.

Thanks again for putting this class together and sharing your knowledge on self defense. I found it very informative and I feel more wise in defending myself if ever needed.

The skills and knowledge I gained from the two sessions with Tim is extremely beneficial to my life. I now understand how important it is to know that awareness is prevention and I find myself becoming more aware of my surroundings everywhere I go. I highly recommend taking self-defense class with Tim to anyone because you never know when you will have to apply your skills and knowledge learned in your life.

I can’t thank you enough for teaching your two-part self defense class this week after work. All your ideas, demonstrations, and hands-on training were an asset to all.
Your presentation on how not to become a target, to always be aware of your surroundings, plus outlining the way attackers think and act, was very helpful. We never think that we will be in a dangerous situation where we may need to save our own lives, but you certainly made it clear that these things can and do happen. I hope I never have to use any of these techniques to save myself, but at least I now have the knowledge and skill to defend myself.
I would recommend this class to anyone – men and women included, but strongly feel that girls and women of all ages should take this class. It is like owning a fire extinguisher in your home – you hope you never have to use it, but it is at your fingertips if you need it.
A happy student,

It was such a wonderful two day class and I learned so much. I have changed the way that I walk to my car and look for people with red clothing. It really works and thanks for doing such a great job.

Wow, what a great class! I had no idea that one simple thing - awareness - could make such a difference in my safety. I learned to be aware of my surroundings and aware of manipulative techniques when approached by someone. Arming myself with this information makes me feel confident. And the physical moves I learned were also simple and easy to do, yet very powerful. I am so grateful for the information and very glad I decided to take the training!
- Molly
I would recommend this for anyone. I loved the course and learned alot. I wasn't expecting much but learned more about how people are going to attack and who they usually pick. It makes you think differently about things.
