Client Testimonials & Endorsements I train folks from all walks of life; law enforcement, military, mothers, daughters, doctors, call center employees and CEOs. They all have one thing in common, they want to know the best system to defend themselves and their families against asocial random acts of violence.
A daughter brutally killed, two teens date raped A daughter, recently out of college, living in a apt complex was brutally killed by another tenant. Two teens, not yet 20, date raped within their first two years of college. These three girls, whom I know personally, join too many others who are hurt or killed by someone else. Do I want my children to have to fight-no. Do I want them to hurt someone else-no. Do I want them to know what to do if they are scared or attacked-Yes!. Brian's self defense class is not finese, it's not fitness, it's not a sport. He provides practical actions and reactions so that if you are ever attacked, you know what to do to get away. I recommend this class for all teens and adults. He couples the escape and defense ideas with responsible situational awareness, and is carefull to point out that we all are responsible for using the least amount of force required to defuse a situation. It's a combination that will serve us well.
Straight Forward & Simple, Anyone Can Learn Brian has distilled the key aspects of self-defense and teaches them in a very straight forward manner. The training is very practical, no katas, formality or very technical moves as other Martial Arts schools I have done.
I was not afraid to do anything wrong because the class was very easy going After taking the self defense class I am much more confident in myself because the situations we practiced in class and the explanations of the different situations that i may encounter in the real world. Brian is a really good teacher and is patient with people who don't catch on right away. In the class I was not afraid to do anything wrong because the class was very easy going. I would recommend the class to others because it is incredibly valuable knowledge for everyone and the environment is great to learn in.
Excellent Training for a Very Reasonable Price Brian's training methods were very useful and clearly explained. Brian generates confidence and enthusiasm in his training, he maximizes the personal strengths of his students. Equal to the self-defense training I learned in Korea 40 years ago. They were very professional instructors as is Brian.
If you want to feel safer & more confident about yourself, Brian's your man! I am an emergency and sports medicine physician. I have trained with Brian in both kettlebells and self-defense for approximately 6 months. And I can say without question they have been the most effective and valuable techniques I have ever seen.
Feel confident that you can take care of yourself – it is time to be your own bodyguard! Women and men alike will feel empowered by finally having a no nonsense way to defend themselves and their families. Beginners to Martial Arts or Self-Defense will really ‘get’ the easy to learn techniques while experienced Martial Artists, Brazilian Jujitsu, Thai Boxers, etc. will find that they can easily assimilate Brian’s system into their own Martial Arts and be ready for real street scenarios.
Brian is “the Real Deal” 1. I went from zero confidence to being confident that I could actually be effective in defending myself.
Void of Ego and Arrogance 1. I have increased my situational awareness of my everyday surroundings and I am no longer walking around oblivious to my environment.
This is a good common-sense approach to self defense This class was exactly what I was looking for. Brian is very energetic and entertaining but provides useful content and encourages participation. A lot of the ideas presented in the beginner-level class are likely to be useful in a real-life situation than other techniques.
Very Matter of Fact Brian's beginner-level Self-Defense class goes at a pace that allows you to absorb everything and to completely understand your strengths. Its very important to 'react' with clear thinking and this class helped with that.
A Fantastic Instructor Very knowledgeable, puts everybody at ease, a real pleasure to learn from. I am more confident and have a greater awareness of my surroundings. I am now capable of employing a number of techniques to incapacitate an attacker.
Very Easy to Understand and Use I took Tae Kwon Do for a year and they only teach me forms and techniques. I don't think I can defend myself doing forms. I never felt that I was capable of defending myself if something bad ever happened to me.
Great Place to Start or Further Your Skills This was my first self-defense course and I can say this is a great place to start or further your skills. The course was very educational and thourough. It was relaxed, comfortable and easy to ask questions. I am much more aware of potential threats and the level at which they are threatening and how to respond to each.
Awareness & Preventative Tactics Brian is calm and very effective at getting his point across. He is welcoming and never makes you feel judged based on your ability.
To the Point! Extremely Effective Training! Brian's training is much more "to-the-point" compared to other Martial Arts training. The system is extremely effective. The training is a safe, pleasant and knowledgable environment lead by and excellent instructor.
Reality-Based Situation Training Brian is a top-notch Martial Arts Instructor whose teaching style is suitable for all levels of fitness. The course is a fun and safe environment to learn life saving skills.
He never gets down on us for our lack of ability Brian taught me techniques I can use right away, which in turn gave me the belief that I CAN defend myself. This translated into confidence - the right mind-set to defend myself.
Go for it! You'll learn lots and have fun! I wanted to be able to truly defend myself and build upon my Krav Maga training, and of course, have fun in the process. I am now much more aware and confident. Despite the subject material the training was never uncomfortable, it was very enjoyable and informative.
I'm Really Glad I Took This Training! I feel like I can defend myself even when I came into the beginner self-defense class knowing nothing. I feel a lot more mentally prepared and now I know what to do in many different attacks.
Still Amazed at the Simplicity and Effectiveness of the System "I just wanted to say thanks for the excellent instruction that you provided during the 6 hours of your Intense Personal Self Defense Training Course. I thought you did a great job of breaking down each topic and working with me until I had it down and I feel very confident in the concepts and techniques that you taught me.
How to Kick Butt 101 I am protection oriented and after taking Brian's beginner self-defense class my fighting technique has changed for the better.
Individualized Attention I now have much more confidence in the strategies and also in applying them in response to a real threat. Brian is good at attending to participants when further practice is needed, he gives individualized attention to bring up areas of weakness.
This class was very informative and helpful, you should just go for it! Lisa Anderson - Denver
Simple? Yes! Effective? For sure! Brutal? Well yes, but we are talking about learning how to deal with potentially life threatening encounters here.
Brian Copeland's self defense class is awesome! I love this class because it's based on how to react to real world danger that most of us are completely unprepared for. While I learned a lot, the program is surprisingly simple; no difficult moves that need a lot of strength or skill to do. Best of all, you can tell that Brian is truly passionate about it. His teaching is clear, concise and easy to follow. I'd pretty much recommend that EVERYONE learn these skills because you’ll never know when you’ll need them! Especially moms and daughters!
I’m going to send my wife. I have always thought that I could take care of myself in any situation. But after taking only two courses of Brian’s self defense/Martial Arts training. I now know I would be slaughtered going up against a few thugs or anyone who knows how to fight.
His methods are straight forward, instinctive and fun to learn in a professional studio The most important thing I am learning is that even as a large guy and a former collegiate athlete, I really have to train myself to respond effectively to a real confrontation. The most important thing that Brian taught me is to be mentally and physically prepared to use aggressive tactics to counteract and escape violence.
I am not afraid anymore! The beginner-level classes were great, they went fast and were very engaging and interesting. Everyone participated!! The techniques were very easy to learn. Go to Brian if you want to learn to defend yourself in an easy and realistic manner, it is that good!! I am not afraid anymore! I always used to be afraid of knives but not anymore and I know what to do if someone is getting too close. I will be back for the next class.
Brian is a great instructor and I would recommend him to anyone. The 5 things I really got out of the beginner class were 1. How to know when I'm in danger, 2. How to defend myself, 3. I got the strength to stand up for myself, 4. I feel ready and 5. I feel confident!
Brian was great! Not only educational but entertaining. I feel very empowered! Lisa S.
Take the beginner-level class to prepare for the advanced classes I aquired the basic knowledge for defending myself; how to be alert, prepared, how to use a weapon and how to look out for my surroundings. Take the beginner-level self-defense class like I did to prepare you for the advanced classes.
I plan on continuing classes with Brian I took the 6-week beginner level class and it was very helpful. It gave me a good basic foundation in self-defense.
Excellent Opportunity to Learn I learned:
Take Classes with Brian The
6-week beginner course was a laid back environment, which I enjoyed. Brian teaches the basics of self defense in a way that is easily understood and learned. I feel better able to protect myself and those around me, my awareness is raised and I know how to use weapons of opportunity to defend myself.
