I am so glad I took Phase 2 yesterday.  I took Phase 1 last year and both classes were very effective.  Marita does an outstanding job and she really takes the time to help those in her class.  Thank you Marita, you are a great teacher.  I would definitely be interested in taking a regular class if you are able to get it organized.” – Christen, 2018 

“I try to give my daughter the tools to handle anything life might throw at her. We have taken Marita’s class twice now and I feel so much more at ease about my ability and my daughter’s ability to defend ourselves. Marita is so much more than an instructor. She is a mentor and role model. We learned so much. Take your family to her class. Give them a fighting chance-you will not be disappointed!” Laura, Carmel Oct, 2017

“I am amazed at the underlying fear that I was able to let go of, just the minute that I had freed myself from the “Bad Guy”. I felt so “Able”. My daughter was also taking the class with me, and when we chatted after class, she said she felt so strong and was very glad she had taken it. We are both excited to take Phase 2, and will carry this knowledge with us forever. I will feel much more confident, sending my daughter off to college and into life, knowing that she has the knowledge and skills to defend herself, should the occasion ever arise!! Marita is very informational and very professional and you can tell she loves her job. Mark, aka “the bad guy” was amazing and we cannot thank the 2 of them enough, for the experience and the knowledge. This is a class that is truly priceless, …best investment you will make for your safety!! I will highly recommend this class to all of my family and friends!!”— Kim, Noblesville Feb 4, 2015

“My daughter and I took this class today. We both learned a lot and plan to take Phase 2 in the future. Marita was a great instructor and the addition of a “bad” guy definitely made it real. Thanks for showing us ways to survive this type of assault.” – Sandy, 2017″

I want to convey my thanks to Marita for her inspirational class, and also Mark, for helping us in practicing. I find Marita’s technique is intelligent, effective and doable.” Nhat, 2015

This class went over & above my expectations.  The “hands-on” experience was absolutely awesome & very effective.  The interjection of the “bad guy” was also very helpful. -GC, Greenfield, December, 2010

I would highly recommend this class to any woman! I have learned so much from Marita during those few hours I spent in the class.    You learn how to react when you are approached by a stranger in the public, how to defend yourself when you are attacked, how to be aware of your surroundings and simply be prepared.                   -Bd August 9, 2010

So much great information and we had a chance to practice these techniques over and over until each of us was comfortable enough.    I have learned a lot and would like to come back to learn even more at the Level 2. What a great class! Thank you.    -BD, August 22, 2010

Marita jumped right in to the physical aspect of self defense, though a bit awkward at first, I must say it did give you some sense of what it would feel like if you really were attacked. By the time it was over, I felt like that physical “hands on” aspect of it was the best part! Much more useful & informative than sitting and listening to talk for a couple of hours! Got a lot out of it as did my 14 year daughter and friend. Looking forward to level 2!!  Maryanne, July 5, 2010

“Great class – Exactly what a girl going to college needs.”

“I want to thank you for the wonderful class on Sunday.  I went home exhausted and feeling so much better knowing I new so much more than I had a few hours earlier.”

“I love it.  I got so much out of it.  I came here thinking avoidance, avoidance, avoidance.  I thought it was going to be how to walk, how to make eye contact, how to carry your keys, but this taught us, ‘You’re in it up to here, now what are you going to do’?”
