I completed the 3 hour Women's Self Defense class at New Albany Defense with Scott Mulhollen…read more(instructor). This was my first self defense class and was a GREAT experience! I scheduled the class as a private lesson. Scott was extremely helpful; he provided additional information about the class, answered all of my questions, and was very flexible when scheduling the class. Additionally, Scott catered the class content to my lifestyle (e.g., I park far away from my office and wanted to learn how to protect myself) and needs. The class provided me with a foundation of strategies and techniques to protect myself and I can truly say that I feel more prepared and secure in my environment. I would most certainly take another class at New Albany Defense and strongly encourage anyone interested in enhancing their self defense knowledge and skills to check out their website (http://newalbanydefense.com/) and contact Scott.

If you want to learn self-defense not just as a collection of techniques; but learn the concepts…read moreand tenets of defending one's self and loved ones then this is The Place. Everything is taught from the aspect realism. No flashy techniques that look great in a dojo and will get you killed on the street. To get a feel for what is foundational to the school's approach, the following is taught along with effective techniques: * Learning to see threats and avoid them and if necessary be the one conscious and able to call the police and quite possibly EMS if you are alone and attacked. * The ability to walk into a room and quickly see the number and location of objects that could be used as improvised weapons should you need one and how they could be employed. That's just two of manu examples of teaching that illustrate the school's base of thought on "Self-defense" Techniques are drawn from ju jitsu, boxing, judo, Philipino stick and knife fighting, the fighting system taught to armed forces. What is common sense and useful is taught, what is flashy or overly complicated is not. Instructors are friendly, helpful and not all puffed up with their ego. Price is very reasonable compared to other schools that are not nearly as thorough.

There are a number of top ranked competitors that train here. I was involved in a number of Martial Arts systems up into my 30s but I hadn't practiced anything since. Now being in my 50s I got the itch to get involved again but I wasn't interested in competing again. I wanted a more practical self-defense system to learn. I chose Krav Maga and I'm so glad I did. I have learned so much and had so much fun. Casey Boyer is an excellent instructor and the Krav team is a very friendly and fun group. The Krav Maga classes have really hit the spot! If you're searching for a training center, then I'd give Ronin a try. I think you'll be impressed too.

I'm 39 and have been contemplating signing up myself! It looks like so much fun!

It's a Gracie Certified Training Center so it uses a standardized Gracie University curriculum that makes no assumptions about prior experience.

It's also a great community of very friendly and supportive people that I look forward to seeing every time I go. There's a real sense of people pulling for each other and looking out for one another. Also, we keep the mats very clean.

For example my son really wanted an orange longstaff but none of the catalogs they order from had an orange option. He was determined to figure out a way to get an orange one.

The other staff members are great too! They are flexible and accommodating. The instructor to student ratios are great. It is pretty expensive but it is pretty much the same price anywhere you go.
