| Customer Testimonials |
| Monica and Active 1 Self Defense are great!
Monica shares her personal history to give the program an added meaning,
clarity that this could happen to any of us, and shows her passion
for her work. Monica is an enthusiastic speaker that shows extreme
professionalism in both her presentations and hands on demonstration.
Active 1 Self Defense is a great program for all ages.

| Sometimes it's hard to come out of my shell to really get
into the workshop, but I felt that Monica gave me a good boost to get
there. The class has given me more confidence . I even walk to my car
differently at night.

This was a great workshop. I was surprised at the depth of information and the amount of time we spent practicing moves so the we felt comfortable doing them, since this was only a 1-1/2 hour course. I was very impressed with Monica’s delivery and her encouraging personality. I think this ought to be required for everyone who moves beyond his or her front door. Bonnie P. |
| This should really help if we are ever confronted.
Thanks a lot!

This was a great refresher course for me. I have also provided the Active 1 information to my sister so her and her college bound daughter could take advantage of this training. Thanks for a great class!! Staci T. |
| Monica Hall, Karen Miller and the RAD system
gave me so many practical skills to help protect myself. The
class was very informative, interactive and FUN! Thanks for translating
your personal passion into helping women learn how to empower and protect
themselves!!

I recently had the good fortune to be able to attend a R.A.D. training led by Monica Hall and Karen Miller. I wasn't sure what to expect and was pleasantly surprised to find I didn't have to be in top physical shape (I'm 62) or a martial arts expert in order to benefit from the training. In fact, the class was a pretty diverse group and everybody did a great job. Both Monica and Karen gave excellent instruction, demonstrations, and plenty of time to practice the techniques. There was enough repetition for us to really get the techniques down, but not so much that it was boring. There was a good mix of practice and talk so that I wasn't physically exhausted at the end of the day. We also received some vary practical safety tips and a manual to take home with us. I feel this would be an excellent class for any woman to take and I highly recommend these instructors. JoAnn G. |
The triumph of spirit comes in many forms. For me a recent RAD self-defense class led by Monica Hall and Karen Miller took me from a very nervous student to a student renewed by my own accomplishments. Their dedication to making sure each student understand the course material and can physically demonstrate the techniques speaks volumes about their professionalism and creativity. Mary F. |
| I have often though of myself as a fairly cautious and well-guarded
person, especially being single and living alone. But having
recently attended a R.A.D. self-defense class, I found I didn't know
as much as I thought. I was amazed at the information and techniques
Monica and Karen presented to the class! Through their knowledge,
dedication and "hands-on" training, I not only learned the
skills to better protect myself but also found the self-confidence
to do so!

The self-defense training that I received was an eye opening experience. It does not matter your body size, your age or your ability. There are many different ways that women can use to protect themselves. It was great exercise in self-empowerment and self-confidence. Monica and Karen are great teachers and they always made us feel safe and comfortable while learning the self-defense moves. I encourage every woman to take this self-defense class. Don't let fear stop you from getting this very important rape and violence prevention training. Laura H. May, 2005 |
Excellent program and simple effective tools to increase safety and means to escape. Joanne G. |
This course enabled me to reach a deeper level of self confidence and empowerment. I was thrilled with using the inner & physical strength I possess. Charlotte N. |
I loved this - I wont more! And I have so much more confidence! Chris D. |
This class makes you feel like you can fight back - I will be able to defend my self if I were ever in a bad situation. It really helps with your self confidence Deb B. |
| This hands-on demonstration where we actually
participated leaves a more memorable impression of what to do. I had
similar (more extensive) training in the military(ARMY) but it’s
been awhile since I received this. We don’t
like to think about it, but it is better to be prepared if a real situation
occurred.
