Church Security- congregation safety team reviews
"This experience was great! Starting out with a lesson that identified different terms and scenarios (personal defense vs. Security, de-escalation phrases) was a great benefit. It showed that your mind and words can be just as useful as your hands. The physical training was also excellent."
"Evan was hands on and extremely knowledgeable with sharing the concept of self defense. What we learned today will be beneficial in our line of duty."

EMT first-responder rescue squad reviews
"Exceeded all expectations! Evan came over to Southern Maryland to teach self defense basics to the EMTs at our Rescue Squad and the general consensus was that it was a sound investment. With the small amount of time we had, he did a fantastic job building our verbal skills, teaching how to break free from attacks and how to get away. Looking forward to follow up sessions!"
