I’m a returning student to martial arts, after a lengthy absence. I tried the free week promotional offer. It was fun and left no doubt that I was continuing the training. The staff at Parkside Self Defense has been great to work with as I try to get back into shape. Fortunately, they are patient — one of the factors that made me choose Parkside Self Defense in the first place. I find the workouts especially enjoyable. It’s because I’m working out with a purpose. I see my fitness improving, weight is dropping and my martial arts ability is increasing as well. I highly recommend Parkside Self Defense for both adults and children.
