How long does it take to be proficient?
Learning a new skill does not happen overnight. Anyone who tells you that you can be proficient at self-defense in a weekend seminar is not being honest. For skills to transfer from practice to a live situation you will need to work with a variety of practice partners in a variety of situations over time. Most students begin to feel confident in their skills in about 4-6 months.
Who are the coaches?
Greg Nelson is the main coach for this program.

We just recently started going here and it already feels like home.  It’s a very positive environment and people there greet you with a smile every time, whether you’re on day one or year 5.

The coaching is second to none and the numerous classes available both in the morning and the evening make it easy for you to schedule around the rest of your life, or if you choose, your life around martial arts.  If you want to pick up martial arts as a hobby, they have classes oriented towards you; if you want to develop into a world class fighter they have classes for you along with a team of the best fighters in Minnesota.  Everyday, I walk into The Academy I know that I'm going to be pushed physically, mentally, and better than I was yesterday.  If you are serious about persuing any type of martial art,  a fully informed decision can't be made without at least stepping your foot in the door at The Academy.  I look forward to training with you!
