"This course should be part of in-service
training for every teacher in Wisconsin. As a former teacher, I can
say that these techniques would provide an increased measure of safety for
all teachers."

"My co-workers and I at SPR Inc.
were tremendously impressed with your semi-private lessons given on-site
at our work place. You have increased our confidence in our ability to defend
ourselves in dangerous situations and we feel safer as a result. Your ability
to communicate self-defense concepts and techniques in an easy-to-learn
fashion is truly phenomenal. Clearly, it's easy to see why it does not take
a long time to learn real self-defense. As a teacher, you listened to our
concerns, gave us straight answers and allowed us to customize your program
to fit our needs."

"Your stuff works! ... When I got
out of my truck, two masked men jumped out of a van that was parked two
spaces away. One of them said, 'You're coming with us.' ... As he attempted
to grab me, I pushed him off with a circular motion, then I yelled for help,
loudly and continuously. They stopped and turned around when they heard
my neighbors stirring and saying, 'Call the police.' I was ten steps away
when I first saw the gun. They looked at each other, got in the van and
sped away. I may be here today because of your seminar and the grace of
God."

"These simple techniques can save
you from a traumatic, and maybe even life threatening, situation. Well worth
my time."

"[Rev.] Chris Thomas' seminars
focus on teaching martial arts and self-defense that is practical and effective.
He avoids 'sport' karate techniques, like flashy head kicks, which require
exquisite physical strength and flexibility - something few of us possess.
Rather, he focuses on techniques that utilize body mechanics to target weaknesses
within the opponent. In doing so, the information you will learn in his
seminars have practical street value for defending yourself. I have an extensive
background in human physiology, and have yet to see a system of self-defense
that holds the same value as that taught by [Rev.] Chris Thomas. I highly
recommend his course to anyone interested in a system of self-defense that
is fun, easy-to-learn and potentially life-saving."

"I
spent thousands of hours over a nine year period jumping, kicking, punching,
doing everything my Tae Kwon Do teacher told me was necessary ... to learn
self-defense. ... [A]fter nine years, I did not feel well prepared for a street
encounter. An afternoon seminar with Master Chris Thomas changed everything.
The information he shared has made self-defense easy. ... Master Thomas is
an incredible speaker and I was captivated by his simplistic approach to self-
protection. I learned more in a two-hour workshop about practical self-defense
than in my nine years of training in Tae Kwon Do."
Matt Hayat, Ph.D.

"Our members thoroughly enjoyed
your presentation! It was wonderful to pick up some great tips on how we
can protect ourselves without a lot of training. The pressure point
self-defense is absolutely fascinating! I'm sure that we will all keep these
things in our minds while we are out and about, especially when we are alone."

schools."
