The professionalism and standard of both instructors was excellent. I will definitely attend another course, and have told many friends to come along to the next course. I would highly recommend everyone to take the course.
It was 110 %.

The course was extremely well organised and implemented. It was far and beyond my expectations. The course teaches the students what not to do and how to avoid hostile situations. This course is a must for anyone who has ever felt nervous while socialising in Dublin today.

Thanks guys for a great weekend. I have to say that I was nervous when I first walked into the gym on Saturday morning. But then Aidan explained to me that this was adrenaline and was glad I had admitted to the group that I felt like this, as he wanted us all the harness this and use it when we strike the pads. I felt Aidan's talk about body language and adrenaline reaction was excellent. Both Steve and Aidan handled everything very sensitively.
Margaret Bolger - Hair Stylist
The instructors are extremely professional. The presentation and enthusiasm of the instructors coupled with the experience of both, resulted in a great weekend.
John Murphy - Taxi Driver
I feel so much more confident walking the street now. Aidan's talk about engaging the attacker's brain was excellent.
Thanks again guys.
Paulo Peredez - Shop Assistant
Everything was broken down in simple, clear, and memorable moves. The course exceeded my expectations. I was amazed that someone weighing 9st can defend themselves against a very powerful man.
Faye Conway - Project Manager
The best part of the day was when Aidan came out in full body armour and we got the chance to kick and punch lumps of him.. Only joking!
The course course was everything I expected and much more... Great stuff guys.
Tom Sweeney - Accountant
I really enjoyed the weekend. I was sceptical initially, but my mind was quickly changed. It has made me so much more confident. Thanks for the breakfast and a lovely lunch. And I know you robbed my sandwich Aidan.
