Evan was legit. He focuses on the mental and physical side of self-defense. He addresses everyone's need and concerns and gets everyone involved quickly. He brought you through a "progression" in self-defense that evolved throughout the course of the lesson, leaving you confident in what may lay ahead.

I've been a customer since the beginning, back in 2012. I love NOVA Self Defense! The owner and his trainers are wonderful. They truly care about helping you be safe. NOVA Self Defense offers excellent classes on self defense, in a variety of settings...some women's only, some co-ed. The movements are easy to learn, especially with their trainers who are great at providing positive feedback and guidance to help you improve your techniques. The classes are fun and so beneficial. I can't say enough about them. Whenever I see new classes scheduled, I try to attend, if my schedule allows and I tell

Great introductory course for those that want to be more aware and practice hands on skills. Two hours was the perfect amount of time for this course. The class started right into some hands on stuff...bring a water bottle it can be a workout! The practice sessions really made me more aware of the areas I need to improve in. I'm ready for level 2!
