How do classes at Reality Defense work?

All classes are taught privately (1 on 1) or semi-privately (2 to 6 students), meeting once a week.

Is meeting once a week enough to develop fundamental skills?

The courses at Reality Defense are structured progressively, with each session building on the previous, which promotes rapid skill development.

Where are you located?

Reality Defense is located in the Scottsdale Air Park, very near Raintree and the 101. It is easily accessible from anywhere in the valley.


How do I get started?

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!
