She has a passion for this that comes across as she teaches plus she mixed in some humor while teaching about such a sensitive topic. The information was priceless and she had great drills for us to practice. Being an all women's gym it was nice to learn this stuff from another woman! She did also bring a male assistant to help with drills which was so helpful as it made it more real. Cannot recommend Denise enough! By far the best self-defense class I've been to. Every woman left feeling empowered and talked about it for weeks to come!

Denise teaches a fast-paced mix of situations, statistics and vital hands-on training using the strength of one's own body. I now feel more empowered in parking lots, meeting new clients and early morning outdoor exercise. I hope it's training that neither of us ever need to employ, but it just might be the exuded confidence from this workshop that avoids an occurrence that might have otherwise happened.
