What Chad teaches is very simple, but that is exactly what you need in the “street”, techniques that a person of any size can perform to stop a much larger attacker is what is required when faced with a life threatening situation. It is very obvious that Chad has a passion for helping youth learn how to defend themselves, and he is trying to empower young women in the process. The training manual is very impressive and solved many issues I have had trying to teach children self-defense techniques for over 18 years now. The physical training was very professional and gave me new insights on how to teach these self-preservation techniques which is a new term I learned from this training. I think most young women may not want to be a martial artists and commit the years to study the art of self-defense, but I think what Chad has developed in Just Yell Fire has a broad appeal, can be taught in a few hours, and will help save lives. --Jeff Schmatt (Owner - Rubicon Photo) Words cannot express how grateful I am for all the material you taught the group. As a "new kid on the block" I felt comfortable with your words, training, and encouragement. I shared all the information with my peers and my supervisor and they are thinking about allowing me to include it in the school elective curriculum for next year! --Evelyn Montanez (Teacher - Tesseract School) In just a few short hours you completely changed the way that I had viewed self-defense for women. Your techniques are effective and your concepts are excellent. I felt so much more confident, knowing I could now defend myself, after just the first session with you. --April Spadaro (Loan Consultant - Bank of America) Chad has the best natural ability and talent that I have seen in the last 20 years, but it's his gift of teaching that puts him on a pedestal of his own. --Paul Vunak (Hand to Hand Combat instructor for FBI, DEA and US Navy SEALs) "Soothing and empowering at the same time, Chad provided me with tools that instilled a new found confidence in my ability to protect myself no matter who I might face in a parking garage at night. I only spent a few hours with Chad and my whole way of looking at myself in the world shifted. The simplicity and effectiveness of his methods are mind blowing, and the results both immediate and profound! I highly recommend Chad's self-defense training—even minimal time spent with Chad and his ground-breaking techniques will be life-changing." --Dr. Adrianne Ahern (Author, Sports Performance Psychologist) "It was your simple and effective techniques that saved my life! I was mugged while on vacation in Ecuador by three men. A quick back fist to one and a swift eye jab to another was all it took. The third guy backed away instantly. I took off running and escaped with my life. The kicker is, all they got was about 80 cents." --A. Llamas (President, D'Realty) "I absolutely recommend Chad Von Dette's training programs for martial artists looking for advanced continuing education as well as for beginners looking for easy-to-learn real life self defense techniques. Chad has translated his experience teaching some of America's elite military personnel into an incredible set of tools and techniques anyone can use in brutal attack situations. Great skills, new strategies, and even some philosophy from a unique instructor. You'll have fun learning how to protect yourself." --Dallas Jessup (Black Belt - Tae Kwon Do) "Chad has taught me a smart; brutally effective way to defend myself that not only gives me the confidence to avoid most confrontations, but the ability to win decisively when confrontation is unavoidable…" --Michael Maguire (Financial Analyst, IBM) "Since becoming a full-time student under the instruction of Chad, I have embarked on a total transformation of my body, mind & spirit." --S. Rigler (U.S.A.F. NCO Security Specialist) "As a survivor of a violent assault, I know first-hand the trauma of not only dealing with the actual attack, but the deep-seated fear of what if it happens again? as well as the trauma of never being able to feel truly safe and secure, even in my own home. After taking a few different self-defense courses over the years which helped a little bit (but not much), I had the good fortune to encounter Chad and his unique training program. After just 3 hours with Chad and Park, I can honestly say I'm no longer afraid of 'What If?' because now I have simple, yet effective tools that can be used in any situation and the confidence to use them. But most importantly, for the first time in years, I feel SAFE because I know I can protect myself no matter what. Thank you so much Chad for giving me my life back." --Mary Ann Reed (Rape Survivor, San Diego, Ca) |
