Review & Rating
When our son asked if he could do martial arts, we began researching schools in our area. Having no experience with martial arts, it was a learning experience. We choose Dynamic Self-Defense based on their very practical approach and philosophy. The lessons not only include teaching how to defend oneself, but also how to recognize bullying and how to defuse a confrontation before needing to use the skills being taught in class.
DSD has been a great foundation to building self-confidence and physical capabilities in our son. He has attending this school for just over 2 years and still loves it! We are very happy with the results and appreciate what this school teaches the kids!
I have been with New Albany Dynamic Self Defense for six months now. I originally started with the encouragement of my husband to gain self-confidence and to know how to protect myself. My husband and son are now enrolled in the class with me and we all get so much out of this school. The one thing I appreciate the most is that it is "real life" it's not dance moves, or showing off. It's not about trophies, or compition, it's about pushing yourself to be your best. It teaches real life techniques in self-defense, no fluff, no glamour. My personal self confidence has increased and has helped me in my every day life as well as knowing how to protect myself.

It's now almost two years as my 10 years old son attending Dynamic Self-Defense, and he absolutely enjoys it.
And we like the results!
Had Scott come in for 2 sessions with our employees - great experience, everyone loved it and learned a lot. Class was personalized to our needs. Would definitely recommend!
The class I took gave me great advice on how to defend myself in many situations. It was very informative and I would highly recommend it.
This place is absolutely amazing about 3 years ago I did a private class with instructor Scott I had been a survivor of domestic violence for a few years prior and my ex husband had never stopped stalking and harrassing me and about 3 years ago he attempted to get in my home twice I was overcome with fear I couldn't function daily or do daily task I have 3 children I need to take care of and I couldn't move in my own home I was scared to leave the house I knew I had to do something to get my life back which I let my abuser take from me once again he was controlling me all over again just through fear and I was not going to let him strip away everything I had worked so many years and so hard to get back I contacted Scott and he immideatly got me in and set me up for a private class directed towards my situation he taught me so many amazing skills to protect and defend myself and mostly mentally prepare myself this was absolutely life changing for me as fear is a very strong emotion I have learned to incorporate what I learned in my everyday life and workouts to keep my confidence in my self and my abilities this is an amazing place what they do for children to build there confidence is amazing..and Scott's knowledge of domestic violence was very reassuring as victims it is very hard to trust people but he instantly made me feel comfortable I will forever be greatful for what dynamic self defense did for me at a very difficult time in my life!

My college age daughter and I learned so much from Scott! We felt empowered, mentally and physically, after taking the class. I highly recommend it!!
After spending weeks looking into multiple programs in Columbus, I finally chose New Albany Self Defense despite being quite a distance from our home. We have no regrets! This is not a corporate chain martial arts facility that allows students to go through motions to level up. This is tailored to learn PRACTICAL skills for defending oneself in real-life situations. My son started this program when he was 7 years old. His body awareness and self confidence has improved significantly. We could not be happier with choosing this facility, and we plan to have our younger son join when he turns 6.
My family had a wonderful experience in Scott's self defense class. The self defense practices were so practical and we felt empowered and so much more prepared to protect ourselves. Along with personal safety on the go, he also provided tips to stay more safe at home. It is immediately clear the wealth of knowledge and experience that Scott has, and made us quite sure we would love to take additional classes to learn even more. I would highly recommend any self defense class you can take with Scott. Invaluable.
A great self defense class with tons of real world advice and tips that stuck with you and made you think. I highly recommend it. Our instructor (Scott) made the class fun and interesting. I would encourage every woman of all ages to take this class, it's definitely empowering.
