Cody helped me build confidence in being alone in my surroundings at home and away from home. In the past, I was assaulted at my car, in a parking lot, when leaving work. He helped me with self-defense modalities to bring confidence so that an assault will not happen to me again. He was very respectful of my boundaries and sensitivities from my assault. He always approached me in such a gentle manner while also teaching me very helpful skills in getting away from and defending myself if ever attacked. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to learn skills that are helpful in building confidence in your surroundings around you.

I took Cody's self defense course with my 18 yo trans kid. It was a great experience! The instructor was friendly and knowledgeable. Not only did we learn physical skills, but also confidence and wisdom to best avoid dangerous situations.

Cody is a great instructor - every time I finish a class I feel so much more empowered and less fearful. The cost is well worth it to get the one-on-one training. This is not your basic karate class, but solutions to real possible threats and situations. Thanks again Cody

Cody is absolutely the best instructor that I’ve ever had in all my self defense training. I was a little anxious at first but Cody made me feel safe and extremely respected! He is adamant on boundaries in as well as outside of class. He makes sure to teach every student with methods that help them personally. He is always willing to make adjustments to each lesson for full understanding on the concept itself. Cody does everything in his power to make sure you see the value in self respect, respect for others, motivation, and seeing success in yourself. Each time I come home from class I always feel better and lighter. Cody is great for anyone who wants to learn self defense the right way! I 100% recommended taking his class!!

Defense Education is a fantastic company! If you want to learn to be confident in protecting yourself and your family in most any circumstance, reach out to Defense Education for their classes. We took a 15 week personalized class. It was extremely helpful! Cody was careful to help my wife and daughter feel comfortable with close contact self-defense, while also helping us all gain confidence in our ability to ward off predators of many kinds. He is an excellent, experienced instructor that will give you the skills to keep yourself and your loved ones safe.

Cody is a phenomenal instructor. I felt comfortable with him and he gave me piece of mind and a lot of knowledge. Cody works with you one on one and tailors his classes to your needs. He takes a practical approach in self defense, teaching risk management and prepares you for real life situations if they were to arise. He maintains professionalism throughout his classes. I feel more confident and prepared after having taken his self defense class. He takes pride in what he does and I would recommend Cody’s defense education class to anyone. Thank you Cody for such a great experience.

Cody was knowledgeable, efficient, and flexible. We had a time crunch and he worked with his schedule so the training could be completed on time. He is also respectful of LBGTQ+ situations. Very communicative and adaptive to what was needed in each situation.

Cody did an amazing job of tailoring the program to fit my daughter's needs and helping her to feel empowered instead of a victim in a lot of different situations. He was very sensitive to my daughter's personality and preferences for the class. He also gave her a lot of helpful knowledge in everyday relationships. I would highly recommend Defense Education to any female.

Cody was an amazing instructor to work with. I learned many useful skills both step-by-step and in context. My experience was safe, educational, and preparatory. I especially appreciated how he tailored the maneuvers that he taught me so that they worked for me specifically and effectively. Would highly recommend for anyone!

Cody is a trustworthy person who is highly skilled and capable as an instructor of self defense education. He is so very knowledgeable, respectful and integrous. I am so thankful my daughter completed in-depth training before going to college! I recommend Cody and Defense Education to all parents of daughters.
