Being a female in a predominately male classroom can be intimidating; but Dan has the ability to place everyone in the classroom on an even playing field. As a result, the techniques I've learned and the confidence these new skills have given me is

When my 16 year old daughter got her license I went through all the usual feelings of anxiety over the prospect of her getting in a car accident. Then I had another more daunting thought: she will now be leaving places and going into dark parking lots by herself. The thought of her being victimized, quite frankly, was more than I could stand. This prospect left me feeling helpless and incredibly scared. I wanted to do something proactive in order to fortify her abilities and chances of protecting herself should the need arise. Coincidentally, "The Centreview" newspaper did an article on Complete Fitness Concepts and it's instructor Dan Mikeska. I called Dan and talked with him about my fears and what I thought I was looking for. We discussed his self defense class and what exactly it was designed to teach. I asked him if he would be willing to accommodate my daughter and myself, along with some of her friends and their mothers. He said absolutely. Dan was very flexible in our attempt to get everyone together on an agreed time. It is a ten week course that Dan let us do in 5 weeks at an hour and a half each session. Each session was very organized, informative and interactive. We were shown how to use our bodies to ensure maximum results. How to use anything we had available as a weapon, i.e. a cell phone, brush, pen, notebook - anything. This course brought a level of awareness to our daughters and ourselves, that we did not possess before. That, in and of itself, was huge. Our awareness of our surroundings is key, along with the newfound lessons and tactics we've learned. Dan was great and very effective in his instructions. He was able to keep everyone motivated and more importantly focused on what the bigger picture was: staying safe and staying alive. As hard as that is to think about, those are the cold hard facts. As mother's we thought we were doing this mostly for our daughter's, but we ended up learning so much and realizing how important it is for us to have this training as well. We had a great time in this course, in spite of the hard work. Dan created an environment for us to learn, work hard and have fun along with a new confidence in our abilities to self-protect. I would, and have, recommended this course to anyone. I personally think this course is a necessity and the lessons are lifelong. Sharon Nef Thank you very much for your time and expertise. Your practical and easily understood self defense seminar was well received. I had numerous Bureau staff approach me after the seminar expressing their appreciation and how they felt comfortable with your techniques. Thank you again.
