“My 18-year-old niece and I attended a self-defense workshop before she goes to college. Coach Bethany could not have been better. Both she and her associate were extremely helpful, giving tips and teaching moves that will be useful without being overwhelming. I would recommend this studio to anyone!”
— Sue Hallowell
“We put our 15-year-old daughter in self-defense classes a few months ago. She immediately fell in love with the classes and instructors. After each class, she would come home and tell us what she had learned and how she couldn't wait to go back. We've never seen her so happy! Her self-confidence is through the roof! I just wish we had enrolled her in these classes sooner.”
— Jennifer Trudell.
“The instructors are absolutely phenomenal! They strike the perfect balance between being patient and encouraging while holding the kids accountable. Since joining, I've noticed a massive boost in my son's self-confidence. They do a wonderful job of teaching self-defense while emphasizing core values like respect and discipline. I would definitely recommend them!”
— Francisco Morales.
“My son takes the jiu-jitsu class, and he loves it! It's the one activity he actually looks forward to attending each week. Not only does it keep him active, but it also teaches him respect, self-control, and, of course, self-defense.”
— Renee Simas
“Bochner's Studio's self-defense and martial arts program, along with its staff, has been nothing short of amazing. Everyone is welcoming and supportive, and every class is a great time! I learn something new in each class while improving and building on my existing skills. Self-defense is an incredible and valuable life skill that develops over time with effort and practice. I would highly recommend this program and studio to anyone of any age!”
— Lauren Bartlett
“Bochner's is awesome! I took self-defense classes and loved them. They jump right in and teach practical yet easy-to-learn self-defense techniques. The instructors are mostly badass women who are super welcoming (oh, and deadly—lol!). I had a blast and feel safer and more confident if a bad situation arises. Thanks!”
— Courtney Goode.
