The 2-hour Self Defense Class for Women is outstanding. Teachers give useful, real, and realistic instructions. Nice instructions also on how to improvise weapons with what you have access to. I would definitely recommend this course to friends (and have already done so). It is a class you never hope you have to use. Catherine Vial

Master Don created a safe space for us to learn self-defense in a fun and energetic way. It was a high-intensity, high-energy, very physical couple of hours that gave us all some great tools and muscle memory to know how to navigate certain threatening situations. We were impressed with JTR jujutsu and would do it again. Master Don and Wayne were fantastic, respectful, and knowledgeable. I was especially impressed with the PowerPoint they showed us, and they gave the soon-to-be new college students great advice on safety and protecting themselves on campus and everywhere. We had a really fun time learning serious moves! Stacy Gold
 

This is the best women’s self-defense crash course by far! I took this crash course twice so far (each time with one of my twin teen girls with one of my twins, and it was fabulous!!!!! I learned a lot (each time) about mindset, possible scenarios, and simple techniques (I definitely was sore the next day!) to protect myself if the terrible need arises (and, better yet, how to avoid the danger if possible). The best gift to give oneself and/or a woman you know/love Alston Taggart
