My son and daughter – ages 6 and 8 – started here with Mr. Dan a month ago. They have loved every minute of it. Mr. Dan is funny and kind, and he has a great staff of instructors who know how to connect with the kids. The facility is super clean, and the prices are reasonable. A friend of mine owns a dojo in Baltimore. I sent him to vet this place before we sent the kids there. He gave it a glowing recommendation. You will, too.
I can’t recommend Self Defense Training Center highly enough. My daughter has been working with ‘Mr. Dan’ and his team for over a year and has benefited greatly. The instructors are very good at motivating and teaching children, and my daughter looks forward to her classes. In addition to the kid’s classes, the center also offers classes for adults. We heard about this place by word of mouth and have recommended it to our friends as well.
My 6-year-old son led his whole class in a movement break because his teacher’s computer died. He did all the warm-up moves you taught him. He looked strong and confident! I can’t thank you enough for your influence!
Great instructor.
Super nice students.
I absolutely love this place. The owner Mr. Dan, has the phenomenal ability to interact with kids. He does an awesome job of balancing fun and learning for the kids and brings them a sense of self confidence that I love to see in my son.
