I cannot recommend this training highly enough — wow, I was so empowered! John did an amazing job. We had a women’s self-defense seminar in Hooksett, NH.

He taught us how to defend against an attacker — eyes, knees, and other vulnerable areas. Me not being very agile, I was impressed at how easily certain techniques were explained. I left feeling strong and couldn’t wait to practice what I learned with my husband.

Trust me when I say: take a course with Beyond the Ring, and you won’t be disappointed. John’s training isn’t like traditional martial arts — he teaches what you truly need to know.

I had a private session with Mr. Orlen before I moved away from home to go to college. John covers everything from situational awareness to dealing with violent people to physically defending yourself. His main aim is to teach you how to avoid violent situations. I really enjoyed my training — he is a professional and truly knows how to help you feel more confident.
