“I just took the 8 week self defense bootcamp, and it was awesome. I learned a lot in a short time, and I highly recommend it!! I have no prior self defense experience and felt completely comfortable. Darren, Scott, and Paige were incredible teachers and I really enjoyed learning from them.”

“I learned that I can trust myself in a dangerous situation. The instruction was basic and understandable - not difficult to remember. This course may save my life someday!”

“I’ve never taken any type of self-defense class and came in very nervous and self-conscious. Instructors were great at making everyone feel at ease. I feel like I learned a lot. I’m a runner and often worry about my safety when I’m out running alone. I feel a lot better equipped to deal with potential threats now. Thanks so much for this class!!”

“I took a class with my mom (I’m sixteen), and I learned so much in one class! I felt so powerful and I feel safer now than I did. I’m 5’4 and 110 lbs soaking wet, so I’ve always been very afraid of somebody trying to take me because I’m easy to pick up and not very muscular. The class taught me it’s not all about strength, but strategy. I am definitely going back!”

“Loved everything about this class. Instructors were very knowledgeable & incredibly helpful. I would recommend this class to anyone. These are vital skills, necessary, sadly, in this day and age. I felt very empowered when the class ended.”

“I have been wanting to take a self defense class for years but never made it a priority. Then several weeks ago, I kept hearing other women talk about Carolina Self Defense & Krav Maga and how much they loved it so I decided to check it out. I’m a person who always reads over reviews before trying anything and, I’ll be honest, I was very skeptical with all the reviews being 5 stars. Every single one of them. Can a place really live up to all the hype or did they just pay random people to give it great reviews? Well, I was going to find out. Yesterday I had my first self defense class and it was everything and more than what I imagined. The instructors were very knowledgeable and incredibly helpful. Each and every one of them have a strong passion for the skills and will spend time with you showing you exactly how each move works. There is zero pressure to do any of the moves if you don’t feel comfortable and the energy they bring to the class is infectious. I loved everything about it and will be signing up for more classes. I can’t get enough of Krav Maga. So, long story short, if you are like me and skeptical when you see all positive reviews. Don’t be, this place lives up to the hype. Go and have fun!”

“The instruction was realistic and although I am NOT athletic, I felt comfortable.”
