We specialize in survival based self-defense that emphasizes "Adrenal Stress Fear Management", preparing you for real-life encounters rather than sport or competition.
Our founder, Troy Coe, brings over 42 years of experience in "martial science", guiding our students with deep expertise in practical, no-nonsense self-defense techniques
Located in Scottsdale, AZ, our training center has been fully operational for 25 years with a dedicated team of nine highly skilled instructors offering consistent, high-quality instruction.
We offer both male and female-oriented classes, focusing on practical Hand-to-Hand combat, Knife/Stick defense, and Firearms training to ensure you're equipped for any situation
Unlike MMA or UFC-style training, we focus on real-world, no-rules survival-based defense. Our methods are about keeping you safe in any situation, not following sport regulations.
Our approach goes beyond reptitive drills by placing you in realistic, high-stress scenarios. This ensures you're prepared to manage fear and adrenaline, key components of real-life confrontations.

All classes are taught privately (1 on 1) or semi-privately (2 to 6 students), meeting once a week.
The courses at Reality Defense are structured progressively, with each session building on the previous, which promotes rapid skill development.
Reality Defense is located in the Scottsdale Air Park, very near Raintree and the 101. It is easily accessible from anywhere in the valley.
We offer a free introductory session. In that first session, you will learn to execute three powerful strikes in less than a second and stop a barrage of random punches. If you have experience striking, we will teach you to hit twice as hard and twice as fast. Ya, we just said that... Come in and see!
