Nir Maman, CT 707 Founder -
I have a lifetime of martial arts and Joel is one of the best guys I've trained under. I'm all about combat sports but his reality-based approach gives me some incredible insight into situations outside of sport fighting.

As a military veteran specializing in weapons training, I was initially concerned that I was not going to enjoy the level of training or the instructional style of the instructor. I could not be more wrong! Joel has the humble kindness of a dangerous expert.
