Highly, highly recommend! I just finished the intensive self defense class and realize past self-defense classes at other places were a waste of time, money, and provided me with a false (and frightening) sense of security. The class was real, it was tough, it made me realize that I can absolutely protect myself and my child against someone much larger than myself but I need the right practical skills. We practiced numerous scenarios over the 5 weeks and each move to address a threat was concise, effective, and something I will remember how to do! Isaac Richard did an awesome job at making the class comfortable and fun while keeping us on-point to what we needed to learn. Everyone at the gym is so friendly and willing to provide their amazing expertise....thank you to everyone at Indian Land MMA!
