We've Got What You Want, You Can't Lose (unless you just "Chump Out" and do nothing)

I have had the privilege to train under Master Dukes years ago when he was located in Charlotte, NC. He is one of the best instructors I have ever had (and I have had many). To my great misfortune, he had relocated to Greensboro. If you want to train in real Self-defense, then you need to train with the best. Jessica. P 1/6/26 5 Star

Simply amazing to learn real self-defense and more. Since I started training back in 2021, I have always felt like this was home for me. The owner, Ernest Dukes, is an amazing instructor who makes learning new skills and techniques seamless and fun. The environment is relaxed and inviting. I can’t imagine myself training this hard and this thoroughly anywhere else. Katrina. W 1/7/26 5 Star 

I am enjoying the self-defense classes taught by Master Dukes and find they've helped me be more self-aware of my surroundings. The self-defense clearances are fun, and he does a very good job of teaching. Carole. H 1/20/26 5 Star

Master Duke makes learning self-defense fun. He is teaching our group the basics in self-defense. I feel more confident in my abilities after training in his class. High recommended! Jana. L 1/28/26 5 Star

Ernest Dukes has taught me some powerful self-defense tips along with being aware of my surroundings and being prepared for unexpected attacks. The classes are fun, energizing, and have built my self-confidence. Beverly. O 2/15/26 5 Star
