The instructors for class are Evelina Gueorguieva (pictured at left) and Thomas Salander. Both of their biographies are available on the Instructor’s Page.

“What I liked most was the encouragement and reinforcement. It teaches you the basics and lets you know you can do it.”
Michele

“It’s a great start to becoming more aware of your surroundings and becoming confident in the ability to fend of an attack.”
Laura

“What I liked most was learning how to defend myself, especially against someone bigger than myself.”
Chris

“It’s easy to get a little lazy about safety. This class reminded me that the best self-defense is to avoid potentially dangerous situations in the first place.”
Holly

“Being the victim of a violent crime, I feel that this seminar/Ju-Jitsu is helping me regain my sense of security.”
Kate

“For me, the class is mostly about self-confidence.”
