Testimonials
"My daughters and I signed up for Chris Kent's Personal Safety Class as we were looking for a class on self-defense that would give us some basic skills and knowledge on ways to better protect ourselves. Chris and his team were amazing and easy to work with. Chris was beyond knowledgeable of safety techniques both verbally and non-verbally that will assist in a hostile situation and a situation that could easily escalate. We learned so much in such a short amount of time, from being aware to simple self-defense skills. I believe he was actually teaching us life skills that everyone should know and be prepared to use. We are all looking forward to working with Chris and his team again."

"I really enjoyed Chris' SAVE Class. It taught me a lot about not only how to keep myself safe physically, but what I should be aware of mentally. He has a great approach and you can tell he really cares. I loved getting to try out various things versus just thinking about what I would do in an uncomfortable or dangerous situation. I would definitely go again.!"

“The most important things I have learned from attending Chris Kent’s SAVE Workshop is that ‘NO” is a complete sentence, and understanding that I had much more power than I realized.”
