What Students Say

Be sure to read and see what some of our past graduates have to say about the program:

C.O.B.R.A.™

  • Jim Graden

    "Chris Suton has really hit a home run with his C.O.B.R.A program. It's the only effective self defense program that I would recommend and I have been in the Industry over 20 years."

    Jim Graden, World Kickboxing Champion, School Owner

  • "The C.O.B.R.A. self defense program was one of the best investments I have made in my life. I really enjoyed these classes because I feel like I will be able to have control if I am ever put in a situation. I'm not a big person, but I have confidence, power, and knowledge to defend myself."

    Katie Harrison

  • "The C.O.B.R.A. experience was very similar to what I taught as a combatives Instructor for the United States Army. Chris Sutton's COBRA course teaches a suite of skills that can absolutely be used in any type of life threatening situation. Personally I had my two daughters and two boys take the course because I am a big believer in the confidence it builds and skill set it provides."

    Sean Mitchner, Former Army Ranger, West Point Grad

  • I always feel like people get a false sense of security by having a weapon but David stressed that you don't get to decide the time, location and place and may not have your weapon handy. Many of the self defense tactics go against your natural reaction and thought process. This really showed me that the things that I would have done prior to the class would have really made the situation worse. You always hope that you will never need to defend yourself, but the peace of mind that I now have that I could defend myself if necessary was well worth the time and expense of the class. 

    - Brittney Texas

    "This program would be excellent in schools where children are subject to bullying and/or intimidation by their peers. This is a fairly serious problem for some kids and in schools! The instructor's dedication to the course made it easy for me to achieve my goal in self-defense"

    - Carey Fortmuller

  • "It made me feel empowered and a lot more confident as a single female"

    - Natalie Wilbanks

  • "They things I learned in the C.O.B.R.A course are invaluable. They may potentially save my life!"

    - Sara Gellatly

  • "This is a great course! I think my children will know how to react if they are in a dangerous situation. This is a great class for anyone!"

    - Pam Bass

  • "This program is vital to take! I am more conscious of my environment and don't put myself in dangerous areas. This program will teach you reality based information that karate won't!"

    - Jamie Langford, Student

  • "I can't believe I went without self-defense training for 26 years! The training academy is AMAZING! You won't believe what simple techniques can be done to help defend yourself if you were in a bad situation!"

    - Amy Rench, Studio Manager
