Advanced Self-defence Concepts

This is not your run of the mill martial arts studio. The variety of classes is ridiculous, especially for the price. Jarrad is very down to earth and very humble. I'm glad I found this place as anyone else knows that goes here, everyone treats each other with respect and like family. There's some cool extra curricular classes from medical, Libre and counter custody. If you think you know it all and or have an ego don't even bother stepping through the door.

I trained with Jarrad for 4 years all the way up to when I moved. I highly recommend learning from Jarrad. A very humble Man and a Instructor with a massive wealth of knowledge. Also what was what had me start there is there is no ego at ASD. Everyone there treats you like family.

This studio is unlike any place you will find for self-defense. Jarrad is truly an eternal student and the depth of his knowledge spanning various martial arts/self defense forms is unmatched. I have always been impressed that all skill levels, body shapes, ages, fitness levels, ages, genders, etc. are welcomed at his classes. Also, Jarrad is a very thoughtful, specific and encouraging instructor and the self-defense concepts he teaches are reality-based and safety is always emphasized. Check out the classes he offers throughout the week and you would be hard pressed to only limit yourself to one class because his curriculum is so special. I always leave classes feeling like I learned something while having fun.

Jarrad is a great teacher not only of martial arts which he does plenty of, but of the other important aspects of self defense. His approach to personal defense covers far more than just techniques and styles. Jarrad often talks about the mindset behind being able to defend yourself, how real danger changes the way a fight plays out, and how to handle that. Not only is his approach to self defense very practical and grounded, but he's a great teacher who really takes the time to make sure his students are understanding what we're doing, why we're doing it, and how to do it right. His knowledge base on martial arts and self defense is also HUGE, and he's constantly adding to it. If you're looking for a practical self defense school, I highly recommend ASD. I've only had great experiences here.

In the short time I’ve trained with Jarrad at Advanced Self-Defense Concepts, I’ve acquired extremely useful and efficient moves for my personal defense. I am grateful to have the opportunity to learn how to scan my environment for potential threats, wield a weapon if needed, and most importantly, how to avoid a confrontation in the first place. Jarrad is thorough, patient, generous, and extraordinarily knowledgeable in all things defense. There’s plenty of witty repartee as an added bonus. I recommend this studio to everybody, especially women. Thanks!

Jarrad is a fountain of knowledge when it comes to self defense. He teaches everything from wrestling to martial arts, and also weapon’s based self defense. Jarrad continues to surprise me on what he knows and is very willing to teach all levels. What I really love about him apart from his eyes, is the mother cat like patience he has in instructing. I highly recommend Jarred for all your self defense needs.

Taken several classes with Jarrad of ASD Concepts as a teacher. Learning is an incredibly intuitive and interactive experience with him, exploring questions you may have and being supportive of your training goals is something he does very well. Would recommend to anyone looking to learn self defense or martial arts

I have been going to ASD for over a year now. The things I have learned, epically as a woman have been priceless. From skills like learning how to fall properly without hurting yourself, knife fighting, how to get out of zip ties, to proper ways to protect myself in situations where I could be attacked. I could go on and on. I hope I am never in a situation where I need to use any of these skills but having the knowledge just in case is everything. Jarrad is patient, extremely knowledgeable. He pushes you to the best of your abilities. The love he has for teaching is apparent and his enthusiasm is infectious. I encourage everyone woman and man to learn from him. You won't ever regret it.

Jarrad is an exceptional instructor of multiple disciples who cares about his students and his craft. If you want to learn effective strategies to protect yourself and loved ones, then take a class. You will not regret it.

Jarrad is an amazing teacher. I highly reccomend ASD Concepts for anyone who wants to get serious about their hand to hand self defense. A thoughtful master of techniques who really can simplify and explain so even beginners can understand and develop. Jarrad brings the real world to his martial arts/combatives training. This isn't MCdojo nonsense. ASD has an amazing menu of training, he even offers Defense Lab. Ever wonder what martial art Batman was using in the Nolan movies, that was it! Very reasonable pricing and quality instruction. Give ASD Concepts a look!
