“
I attended the Becoming a Dangerous Woman class this past weekend and it was AMAZING!!! The instructors were so helpful and encouraging. I strongly recommend this class to women of all ages. The class reminded me to stand up for myself again, listen to my intuition and stop being too nice. Our space is our space and we shouldn’t be afraid to protect it out of fear of hurting someone’s feelings. Yes I learned some great techniques but for me it was about making me aware again and building confidence. Can’t wait to try another class. Very welcoming atmosphere and the staff made you feel apart of the group!!!”

“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!”

“I received this class as a Valentine’s present from my fiancé. At first I thought it was a weird gift. But I actually LOVED this class. In fact I am ready to do more. The class was so fun but informative, and watching those “attack” videos really made me understand the importance of Krav Maga and self defense. I look forward to future classes and the easy pace and non-intimidating environment provided.”

“I LOVED the class and will definitely be back with my sister and friends. We had a lot of practice time and were able to practice with other students as well as the instructors. The length of the class was long enough to teach valuable skills, but not draining or boring. We also got to hear from someone who survived an attack and learned that we don’t have to settle for being afraid, and that we can take charge of situations when our gut gives us a bad vibe.”

“I recently took one of the seminars on “becoming a dangerous woman” and it was amazing! The instructors were super fun and knowledgeable and genuinely wanted to help us learn how to defend ourselves. I learned a lot and feel more powerful than ever now that I know some of the basics. I will definitely be taking more classes here.”

“This course was fantastic! It is the 2nd self-defense course I’ve taken and this was FAR more helpful than the course I took in college. I liked practicing in pairs - a little uncomfortable but really necessary and effective. I also thought the focus on becoming aggressive was really important and helpful. Thanks! ”

“I attended the women’s self defense class with a friend. It was amazing! There were several instructors there to help. They were all engaged and their diverse personalities made it even better. They incorporated various ways to teach: video, demonstrations, and hands on. I also liked that if you were comfortable you could practice what you learned on the instructors. They have a lot of feedback and genuinely seem to care. I can’t wait to take another class with them. I would highly recommend this class! I loved how diverse the ages of the participants were as well, great to see some dads dropping of their daughters for this! The instructors went over realistic scenarios and answered any questions we all had. This is a great program.”

“
I took the Women’s Self Defense Seminar yesterday and had an amazing experience!! Everyone was so kind, welcoming, and knowledgeable. You can tell that they really care about providing this information for other’s benefit! I loved that the seminar included information on general awareness as well as the physical aspect of self defense. They are very mindful of letting each individual go at their own pace and participate in a way that each person feels safe and comfortable. I loved my experience and highly, highly recommend!”

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

“I took the “Becoming a Dangerous Woman” Self Defense Seminar, and I cannot say enough good things about it! Instructors Darren (and Syd!) were phenomenal. They focused on specific, real world scenarios, teaching the class basic but powerful self-defense moves. They were thoughtful, made me feel comfortable the entire time, and supportive. I can’t wait to return to continue to learn! Plus the other women in the class were engaging and awesome. Overall, this is a cannot miss!”

“My daughter recently did the “Becoming a Dangerous Woman” Self Defense Seminar and came home extremely pumped up that she was showing her moves to her older brother. She spontaneously stated, “That was the most fun I’ve ever had sweating! When can I go back?” Awesome experience. Thank you!”

“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 attended the Becoming a Dangerous Woman class today. I was looking for a way to take back control of my life and this class was AMAZING!!! Being overweight and out of shape I wasn’t sure if I could do this but I was so wrong. Every one worked at their own pace. The instructors were so helpful and encouraging. We rotated techniques moving from upper body to lower body. I know that I’m going to be sore tomorrow from this awesome workout and I love it.”

“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!”

“I went for the “Becoming a Dangerous Woman” workshop, which was an introduction into basic self defense techniques. I had a blast and also learned a lot of useful skills. I am excited to move forward and really begin my Krav Maga training from here! Highly recommend this studio to anyone, staff are friendly, patient and fun, and the skills are certainly worth having.”

“Great introduction to self-defense. Loved the practice of turning the “on” switch to beast mode. Practicing aggressive sounds and expressions was very helpful. The hammer punches/kicks into the pads were great - I felt like it was an excellent basic move that we will take away. Also, I had my 13 year old daughter with me and I think this was an appropriate class for her.”

“I loved the B.A.D. Woman class! Instructors were all very friendly, helpful and engaging. The class environment was very positive and relaxed, so everyone felt comfortable learning and practicing. I loved the real-life application focused on common dangerous scenarios. I feel more prepared to flip my “on switch”. Thank you!!”

“I’ve never been in a fight or taken any self-defense courses, and this was absolutely amazing. The staff is wonderful and the curriculum is truly empowering. I’m so thankful that I chose to come to the “B.A.D. Woman” seminar and will definitely be back for Krav!”

“The class exceeded my expectations! I didn’t expect to have so much fun learning about this serious skill. The entire class was professional and safe. I will let me friends know to take this workshop.:)”

“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 loved this self defense class! It had the perfect combination of hands-on training, video time and skill training. I feel like I have several “go to” moved that feel natural. I would definitely take this class again to sharpen up my skills.”
