| "About 4 years ago, I was a typical middle-aged man with declining fitness. Most of my peers had given up on the sports of our youth like basketball for leisure activities such as golf. I had no interest in things like golf. I felt like I'd never be fit again unless I did something to turn the tide. My experience at Kobukai Jujitsu has given me many benefits including getting in shape, losing weight, gaining self-confidence from learning important self-defense skills and making lots of new friends. They say that you can't turn back time but, at 50 years old, I feel much more able than I was four years ago. I'm very fortunate to have found Kobukai Jujitsu and learned from so many excellent teachers of life and jujitsu." Trey Whitaker "Training at the Kobukai Jujitsu dojo for the past 2 years under Sensei St. Hilaire and his cadre of black belts has taught me more about myself and my physical capabilities than I had learned during the previous decade of weight lifting and other athletic activities. The benefits of learning jujitsu have transcended into other areas of my life as well, and I am a better, more capable human being overall as a result." Gary Wuerth "I joined Kobukai to learn about effective alternatives to using lethal force and how to effectively handle someone using lethal force against me or my family. As a certified rifle and pistol instructor and competitive practical shooter, I know how to use firearms effectively in self-defense. I also know using a firearm is not always appropriate or feasible in every situation. I am an average sized Joe with no athletic background and no significant experience in any martial arts. I joined Kobukai in fair shape but certainly not an athlete. It was one of the best decisions I could have made to achieve my goals and so much more. Sensei St. Hilaire is an amazing teacher. He has a unique ability to tailor his teaching to the individual and a knack for teaching average people like me how to do complicated moves which I never thought possible. In addition to learning real-world self-defense skills, Sensei's classes have put me in better shape with more energy. All this without any fancy equipment and without boring gym routines. I have learned a lot about myself and have new found confidence. I enjoy attending classes three times a week because the classes are fun, exciting and I look forward to them. I still have a lot to learn and I look forward to continuing my training for years to come. I highly recommend joining Kobukai for anyone looking to get into great shape and learn about serious self-defense skills in a safe, supportive and friendly environment." Ed Southard |
