How much do training sessions cost?

We are a donation-based initiative. Take advantage of this! Sessions are scheduled 1-3 times a week in hour long blocks. 

I can also be hired via direct contracting with schools. Please reach out if your after-school program is interested.

What gear do I need!?

Comfortable clothing! I provide equipment to start. You may eventually want to end up getting your own to ensure it fits the way you want it to. All shared gear is cleaned with antimicrobial cleanser. For smaller groups (1-2 people), gear can be provided to you. 

Where do sessions take place!?

While this program is in its infancy, training sessions take place in the home, with a weekly colloquium on Sundays in Holyoke.

Is it safe!?

Safety is the top priority. All drills and technical sparring are explained in excruciating detail to ensure understanding, comfort, and and above all: safety.

Am I learning self-defense!?

No. I am teaching you a sport. I do not condone or respect streetfighting whatsoever. After my classes, you should find yourself attracting the exact opposite. It will make you more gentle. More understanding and patient with others. You will be more confident in your ability to deescalate conflict, not contend with it.
