I rounded up a few of my friends and we took a Saturday women's self defense class. We all loved it! It was physical but safe and clear instructions were given to ensure safety. You don't have to do anything you're uncomfortable with. I loved that their were both male and female instructors. They were a great team. You can tell they were passionate. We also had a few laughs! Can't wait to go back and learn more!

The diverse group of members makes for a fun, interesting, and safe classroom environment. On any day, your class can be made up of a range of students from brand new to black belt, from a wide range of back grounds, and ages. Gym members tend to be more cooperative than competitive, so there's no fear of getting your butt kicked by a black belt. The instructors themselves are just as diverse as the students and have a variety of teaching styles and other skills, which means there's something new in every class.

They also offer specialized classes like boxing, weapons defense, cardio, and women's only self defense.

I really love and enjoy going to this gym and go about 4 days a week.

My friend suggested I take this class so we went last Saturday. It was the best 90min class ever! Super informative and interactive. Any questions or scenarios we had were answered. The class had a wide range of ages and fitness levels so don’t be afraid to try it - anyone can take great lessons from this class and apply it to their life. I can’t
say enough good things about the instructor, atmosphere, information, and class. Highly recommend to all ladies (any age or health condition). I will definitely be back!

I attended a self-defense class here a few weekends ago and had a positive experience. The folks who lead the class made it a comfortable and safe experience, and we were able to ask about how different scenarios might be handled. I left feeling like I had helpful tools and information, and I have already told other friends about Buckeye Self Defense.

Attended one of their monthly self-defense workshops and found it super useful. It was basic and introductory, which is what I was expecting and hoping for, but still provided really good information. We paired up and practiced several of the moves they taught us and I think we all left feeling better prepared for dangerous situations. I definitely recommend this!

I joined Buckeye Self Defense in December. The instructors are knowledgeable and friendly! It’s a safe environment to learn how to defend yourself in scary situations. You learn important defensive skills and get a great workout!

I took the Women's self- defense class with several friends. It was an informative, hands-on 90 minutes. Jack was very flexible in answering questions and including content based on the group. I am looking forward to going back and practicing what I learned.

This place is a amazing place to sign up for, weather that be for your child’s safety, you want to protect yourself or even just want to know how to defend yourself if the situation ever comes. It has truly been an amazing past few months being here and learn all new experiences and techniques and building on myself in multiple ways. As a 8-9 month, level 2 student, I highly recommend checking this place out if you are interested in these things
