What People are Saying
“I’m a former US Army Airborne Ranger and I have trained in a few different martial arts. Paul Korchak has distilled over three decades of study and experience with a range of combative disciplines into a very functional and usable system of situational awareness and self-defense. I feel much better equipped to handle myself and others in hostile situations.”

Men’s Weekly TrueDefense Class
“Excellent course that all women should take! Even as a retired military office, I learned so much at this course! My daughter and I took this class before she leaves for a college campus. Invaluable - I feel like she can defend herself now . They make it real-world and easy to learn. This is a must-do ! We will be back for the follow up classes.”
