From the reviews
Highly recommend taking a course with Paul of TrueDefense. Women and teen females can benefit with knowledge of how to defend themselves. I recently attended a class with my 15 yr old daughter who also uses a wheelchair. They adapted the training to her needs and showed her lifesaving defense techniques.
My teen daughters took a self defense class through Truedefense and it was excellent! They left with knowledge and practical skills that built confidence and will help keep them safe. I highly recommend.
I originally came to class after a scary encounter in a parking lot three years ago. To this day, I still attend class because of the experience I’ve had, especially with an amazing coach (Paul) and assistant (Joe). Not only are we consistently learning and practicing for retention, but enjoying every second of it.

Your first Krav Maga class at Truedefense, llc
Nervous about walking into a Krav Maga school for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good instructors expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling a few core techniques with a partner — controlled and at your own pace, not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: comfortable athletic clothes you can move in — there's no uniform or special gear you need to buy to get started. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — most schools have everything else you'll need for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call what to bring. Pressure-testing eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid — you won't be sparring hard on day one. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign in and meet the instructor. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
