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.

The coaches take time to teach you proper technique and encourage you to work hard. The classes are a very fun way of getting a workout. I would recommend the academy to anyone looking to learn good skills, have fun, and increase fitness.

I started coming to the Academy about 6 months ago I was around 280 pounds I'm down to around 248, I know some of that is also an increase in muscle mass. When I started I could barely run 1/4 of a mile. Recently I ran over 3 miles no problem. They have me doing circuits that are all pretty hard, but helped me get to this level.

When I came in I wasn't sure if I wanted to just train to lose weight or just become a stronger person, or fight or some other goal and the whole staff has been really helpful with me figuring  out my goals. I have definitely become a stronger more confident person and my character is definitely more complete. I've got more energy & I really feel like I could take on anything. I would like to thank the Academy guys for helping me!!!
