What Customers are Saying about C.O.B.R.A. Training

"C.O.B.R.A.™ was actually better than the training I received in the police academy."

Meg C.

Law Enforcement Officer

"The techniques taught in C.O.B.R.A.™ are quick. They are gross motor skills... It was that quick, that effective and I was able to maintain control of the situation which otherwise would have been chaotic."

John W.

Law Enforcement Officer

U.S. Marine

"I can honestly say that this is without a doubt the best way to bring functional, realistic and useful self-defense to the public. I have been involved in the martial arts and self-defense industry for close to 30 years and have not seen anything like the C.O.B.R.A.™ program."
