We have really enjoyed our time taking classes at CSDKM. Everyone is so friendly and encouraging, the instructors are great at breaking down moves for beginners while also helping and leaving room for more intermediate and advanced people. They were also very accommodating in helping us find a membership package that worked for us. We HIGHLY recommend for anyone looking for self-defense or fight training!! :)

I decided to do the self-defense seminar with a few friends. It was very informative and we had a lot of fun! We got a nice workout in and learned some moves that would help us in case we need them. It wasn’t too difficult, and it was nice to turn on that on switch! The young lady that came and spoke on her experience was super impactful and incredibly sweet!You never know when you need something like this so I’d rather be prepared. Thank you!

This was the first time that I had ever gone to any self-defense class and I was nervous at first. The instructors were very encouraging from the beginning and empowered every single person during the seminar. Would definitely come back

I recently took one of the seminars on becoming a dangerous woman and it was amazing! The instructors were super fun and knowledgeable and genuinely wanted to help us learn how to defend ourselves. I learned a lot and feel more powerful than ever now that I know some of the basics. I will definitely be taking more classes here.

I just took the 8 week self defense bootcamp, and it was awesome. I learned a lot in a short time, and I highly recommend it!! I have no prior self defense experience and felt completely comfortable. Darren, Scott, and Paige were incredible teachers and I really enjoyed learning from them.

I took the self defense class for women this past weekend and enjoyed it so much. Darren is a great instructor and I would recommend to anyone!

I took the Becoming a Dangerous Woman Self Defense Seminar, and I cannot say enough good things about it! Instructors Darren (and Sid!) were phenomenal. They focused on specific, real world scenarios, teaching the class basic but powerful self-defense moves. They were thoughtful, made me feel comfortable the entire time, and supportive. I cant wait to return to continue to learn! Plus the other women in the class were engaging and awesome. Overall, this is a cannot miss!

I just took a class with my 16-year old daughter, and we both loved it! We werent sure what to expect, but the real-world takeaways were just what we needed. Darren was fantastic at engaging us and knowing each of our comfort levels. I cant wait to bring my middle school son for a class!

We did a family Self-Defense class and we had a great time while learning real-life strategies to protect ourselves and get home safe. I loved how they gave us real-life scenarios and equipped us with ways to not be a victim but also how things would actually work in reality - not just learning moves for the sake of it. It’s really all about how to protect and defend yourself. The owner and instructor had humor and made you feel comfortable around this topic.

My son took a 2.5 hr class for upcoming college students. He loved the class. The instructor was awesome - very informative, entertaining, and knowledgeable. My son enjoyed the class so much he plans on taking some more. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for self-defense class.

Ive take three separate classes with Carolina self defense and every one has been fantastic. The instructors are professional and use real world scenarios to illustrate why a lesson is important. They constantly demonstrate as part of the group and correct where needed. Very attentive, very knowledgeable, and the type of people youd like to go out for a beer with. Definitely looking to attend classes more regularly.

I took a class with my mom (I’m sixteen), and I learned so much in one class! I felt so powerful and I feel safer now than I did. I’m 5’4 and 110 lbs soaking wet, so I’ve always been very afraid of somebody trying to take me because I’m easy to pick up and not very muscular. The class taught me it’s not all about strength, but strategy. I am definitely going back!

I have been wanting to take a self defense class for years but never made it a priority. Then several weeks ago, I kept hearing other women talk about Carolina Self Defense & Krav Maga and how much they loved it so I decided to check it out. Im a person who always reads over reviews before trying anything and, Ill be honest, I was very skeptical with all the reviews being 5 stars. Every single one of them. Can a place really live up to all the hype or did they just pay random people to give it great reviews? Well, I was going to find out. Yesterday I had my first self defense class and it was everything and more than what I imagined. The instructors were very knowledgeable and incredibly helpful. Each and every one of them have a strong passion for the skills and will spend time with you showing you exactly how each move works. There is zero pressure to do any of the moves if you dont feel comfortable and the energy they bring to the class is infectious. I loved everything about it and will be signing up for more classes. I cant get enough of Krav Maga. So, long story short, if you are like me and skeptical when you see all positive reviews. Dont be, this place lives up to the hype. Go and have fun!

Not only a great workout but great people as well. You just need to try it to be hooked. Nothing better than learning something that could save your life or others around you while getting a great workout too.

Took a self-defense class here and absolutely loved it!! I learned a lot and felt so much better after the class was over. It wasnt a class of just easy drills to run through where you arent even trying... NO... we worked!! I actually got to physically practice (upon my request) how scenarios would play out in emergency situations. My family and I plan on joining the Krav Maga part when school starts back up now that our son is old enough to join. I highly recommend that people (especially females) take the self defense class. I am excited to start Krav Maga!!

I went to the self defense seminar and I loved it. Darren did such a great job at explaining all of the moves he was showing us. I loved learning all the different types of self defense moves and new ways of being alert and getting myself out of situations. I cant wait to back and learn more Krav Maga in the near future.

I attended the womens self defense class with a friend. It was amazing! There were several instructors there to help. They were all engaged and their diverse personalities made it even better. They incorporated various ways to teach: video, demonstrations, and hands on. I also liked that if you were comfortable you could practice what you learned on the instructors. They have a lot of feedback and genuinely seem to care. I cant wait to take another class with them. I would highly recommend this class! I loved how diverse the ages of the participants were as well, great to see some Dads dropping of their daughters for this! The instructors went over realist scenarios and answered any questions we all had. This is a great program.

The self-defense class was very useful and informative. I would like to be comfortable in executing the techniques I learnt. So, I am planning of taking more classes. Darren creates a safe and fun environment. He managed to cover a lot of information in a short time. I recommend this class to anyone.

Im a mixed martial arts practitioner who loves to learn new techniques. I had the pleasure of attending a three-hour firearms self-defense training seminar at Carolina Self Defense and I came away impressed.The instructor, Darren, walked us through a handful of techniques and demonstrated their effectiveness in a wide variety of close-quarter situations. Safety and proper technique were emphasized throughout the class. When youre defending against a firearm, what not to do is just as critical as what to do. There was ample time allotted for numerous repetitions of each drill, allowing all of us to make adjustments to our technique and increase their effectiveness.The adrenaline flows in a seminar of this nature, but Darren was quick to point out that proper technique results in speed and not the vice versa.My fellow students ranged in age and gender, with many of them avid practitioners at the school. I found them friendly, committed to task and respectful as training partners. I felt welcome and comfortable from the moment I walked in.Im certain that you will, too, and I encourage you to see for yourself.

I just took their Womens Self Defense class Becoming a Dangerous Woman. It was really awesome. The trainers and volunteers are fun, professional and respectful of different students needs. They make sure that everyone is comfortable with the training and that you learn some basic techniques for when the worst may happen. Also, It was a hell of a workout. Would recommend to college/high school women, runners who might be on the trails alone, etc.

THIS was a wonderful LEARNING experience with about 18 other women in a self defense class. THE INSTRUCTORS WERE VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE, with hands on gentle or tough one on one teaching.MY class had 3 male teachers that were easy going. We learned about hand to hand and some weapon deflection.The class was a good time frame.PLUS we all seemed to b on the same page. MY TWO FRIENDS had not been very excited, but now all of us will take more classes, using all the special discounts for new students.

I enjoyed my experience at the Becoming a Dangerous Woman seminar. I learned the first steps to protecting myself and kids. Part of the fear of having a scary encounter is not knowing the first thing to protect myself and this class helped take away some of that fear. The instructors were excellent and you could tell they wanted to be there and they wanted you to walk away with workable knowledge and encouragement that you can stand up for yourself and defend yourself no matter your body type or athletic disposition (or lack of). I will go back simply because I want more of the empowerment I felt during that one class.

My friends were signing up for the 3 hour class and asked if I was interested in joining them. I hesitated, but decided to sign up and I am certainly glad that I did.The instructor and assistants were very knowledgeable and made the learning experience fun as well as informative.We were not forced to do anything that might make us feel uncomfortable and the point was made several times to speak up if anything we were doing did make us feel that way. The 3 hours flew by and we didnt want the session to end.I will definitely encourage others I know to consider signing up for lessons and my friends and I are planning to take more classes.

I went to the seminar this last weekend and had such a great time. I learned some simple things that can help me turn on the switch. i plan on coming back at least once a month for some type of class. I live in Siler city so it is a little bit of a drive, but I am worth it. these classes are worth it. thank you

The self defense class was very fun and informative. While there is only so much instructors can cover in one class, I thought they did a great job covering all the bases. I am looking forward to taking more classes.

I attended the Becoming a Dangerous Woman Self Defense Seminar this weekend and it was great! Not only was it a wonderful learning experience, but it was fun! The staff was very helpful and knowledgeable. I cant wait to learn additional techniques to stay safe! Thank you Carolina Self Defense & Krav Maga!

I attended the womans self defense seminar with friend and it was amazing! The staff was super engaging and helpful. I love that the seminar was very hands on. I will definitely go back and when my girls are old enough I will be taking them as well.

Darren and his instructors are world-class in every respect - excellent teachers, excellent fighters, and - most importantly - decent human beings. At CSDKM, you will absolutely learn how to defend yourself, and get in shape, but youll do it in an environment that feels like family. I drive over an hour to train (and pass by closer schools in the process), but this place is well worth it.

I took the BAD Womens self defense seminar. I can tell the instructors are really quality, but also do a lot to make attendees feel comfortable. I genuinely learned some good techniques, and realized that Id like to give this krav maga thing a try! Highly recommend.

I attended the Becoming a Dangerous Woman Self Defense Seminar with my oldest child, who is a college student, this weekend and it was great! Very empowering and very helpful information. Sign your family up for this soon, youll be glad you did!

This class was so fun and informative! I don’t like to exercise but I could do this all day long. The instructor was funny and made everyone feel very comfortable. I want to do it again soon!

Took the course become a dangerous woman. I think every woman/girl should take this course at least 1x. There is so much to learn how to defend ourselves against an attack. I learned a lot and highly recommend this place.

I took a Womens Self Defense class today and it was the best class. I learned ways of attack that I didnt think about. Everyone makes you feel comfortable and if you dont want to do a certain technique you dont have to. The entire team jumped in to show us different ways to defend ourselves. It felt like family was teaching and not strangers. It is that comfortable there. Its a must take class and I will be back for more.

I recently took the Family Self Defense Seminar at Carolina Self Defense. The instructor was great and did a good job of delivering a lot of knowledge in a short time frame. We learned a lot. Definitely going back for more classes in the near future.

Clean Location with friendly instructors that take the time to help perfect technique and build new skills. I felt welcome right away here at CSDKM by the students and staff each and every class. Over the last 6 months, my membership has more than paid for itself with my 50lb+ weight loss and newly found confidence. I absolutely love my decision to star learning Krav at CSDKM!

My wife and I have been taking classes here for almost 2 years. Weve learned so much and yet we are always learning something new. The instructors are great at teaching us techniques that work best for our very different sizes. Every class is a great workout and a lot of fun.

I attended the 3 hour women’s self-defense class, “Becoming a Dangerous Woman” on 06/17/17 and loved it!We had three instructors; Caity, Alex and Aaron.As we watched our female instructor, Caity (who was a shade over 5 feet tall and weighed a shade over 90 pounds) disabling and tossing 200 pound men like it took no effort at all, we were reassured that we could tackle this class!All three instructors were professional, well qualified, and attentive.By attentive, I mean all three were aware at all times of how we were all progressing, and who needed extra help.Although we were all taught as a group, not everyone learns and grasps concepts at the same time.It was great that one of them would see who needed one-on-one time, and then would step in and provide the personal attention without having to be asked.Before we left the studio, we all felt confident that we had real life self-defense skills that we could/would use if ever needed.I highly recommend this class to every female aged 13 and older!

My son and I recently attended an introduction to Krav Maga seminar at CSDKM. Super impressed with Darrens ability to engage a jaded teenager whod rather be playing video games. Well definitely be back!

The seminar I attended was very empowering and educating, the instructors were kind and helpful, and I feel more confident now that I can protect myself in different situations.

I did the Womens Self Defense class, and it was great. We learned a lot in a short 3 hour period, and I feel more confident in my ability to defend myself.

The 3 hours Self Defense Seminar was a great introduction to krav Maga. I will recommend this to anyone specially women.

As a level 4 Kravist returning after a 2.5 year hiatus while I played in BJJ & Muay Thai, I found the staff here great. Alex & Scott did a great job of teaching.If you want to learn one of the most effective self-defense frameworks around, this is a great place to do so.

I went for the Becoming a Dangerous Woman workshop, which was an introduction into basic self defense techniques. I had a blast and also learned a lot of useful skills. I am excited to move forward and really begin my krav maga training from here! Highly recommend this studio to anyone, staff are friendly, patient and fun, and the skills are certainly worth having.

A wonderful facility that incorporates open space with caring instructors. Here at CSDKM youll find instructors who really want to help you learn the many techniques of Krav Maga. During your training, they demonstrate how to execute successfully and the dynamics involved. This isnt a thing where strength is needed. Its about implementing the concept slowly at first . . . then with increased speed. The whole process designed to solidify what was taught into memory. Only repeated execution reinforces that. With todays world, you never know when youll need to react; not think. And that . . . could save your life. Its fun, its a great workout and the people are all understanding there. Water/recovery of breath breaks are given so you dont run out of fuel. Great facility with so many talented people who earnestly want to help you protect yourself should the need ever arise. - Bob C. Apex, NCI followed up my introductory Krav Maga with Concealed Carry Handguns. Abraham was an excellent certified instructor who presented the course content effectively. Additionally, he created real world scenarios to test students on what they comprehended during lecture. We were all well prepared for the final exam after the instructor drove home the many state DOJ regulations a person must be aware of in any public/private location. This school employs good hearts, people who care about your safety and bringing some humor to the training. This is a five star facility for Krav Maga, CCH and many others one can partake in to prepare themselves for a possible confrontation on the streets. The best of the best . . . . - Bob C. Apex, NC

The people who run this place are top notch folks. I highly suggest this spot for any of the classes they offer.

I attended the womens 3 hour class today and it was well worth it.....it wetted my appetite for more Krav Maga and I plan to take more classes....the instructors really helped us with our moves and encouraged ourparticipation....i did not feel any pressure to try anything I was uncomfortable with.....everyone obviously enjoyed the class and there was alot of laughter mixed with fight sounds.......

We really enjoy our classes at Carolina Self Defense and Krav Maga! Great program and really caring instructors.

AMAZING STAFF AND INSTRUCTION!
