What students are saying about Edwin
- Guro Edwin pushes everyone to be their best with the goal of them becoming as good or better than he is. – Joe Millar
- Edwin was on the phone with me for almost an hour talking with me about what the classes were about and that helped me feel really comfortable showing up to class that first day. – Karissa Jones
- Edwin is a top-quality instructor and truly adjusts to the needs of each student. Generous with his time and knowledge. -Anna Queza
- My daughter has been taking weekly self-defense classes with Edwin for almost a year. In addition to learning the basics of self-defense, her self confidence, especially her confidence in her ability to defend herself, has increased significantly. It has been a wonderful experience for her and given her important tools heading into her teen years! – Adair Taulbee
- The self-defense workshop was great! Edwin blew away a lot of false ideas and gave great techniques we can practice at home! – Chelsey Hatman
