I really enjoyed the self‐defence classes and thought that Rick was fantastic, I felt I got a lot out of the sessions. I am even considering using Rick for future team building events.

I just wanted to thank you and your staff for all the efforts at Loyola last week with the year 8’s, the feedback I have received from the school and most importantly the kids has been very positive and I am sure they look forward to hopefully seeing you guys out there again next year.

The course was non intrusive for our clients, and fitted our staffs workplace health and safety policy. The team are looking forward to next refresher session.

Thank you for the work you do, it was a pleasure to have met you. I feel more confident and aware, vital for us seniors travelling by public transport.

thank you so very much for a great day of Self Defence Training. Your practical instructions were very thorough and easy to follow. Thanks for making everyone feel comfortable and at ease when asking us to perform the holds. We were able to gain more knowledge into how to correctly arrest and restrain an offender. We also gained good points into how to safely arrest and escort an offender back to the holding room. This course is a definite must for all LP Officers out there in the field.
