Testimonials

“Good use of time. No BS. Just jumping in and employing practical steps and building. Good stuff. Really enjoyed it.” – K. E.

“Five star experience across the board !!. I’ve played sports my entire life and the full body workout is second to none. Constant mental focus, while learning to integrate calculated movements to become reaction. It is complete professionalism in a (real-life) training atmosphere and the comradely amongst everyone is very motivating, which in turn leads to me getting more out of my time spent learning the art. Flexible training schedules throughout the week with afternoon & evening options, as well as the option to have private or group lessons. In these times (Covid), I was very hesitant to still actively participate in some of my everyday activities/routines. I did not prioritize staying fit, mentally or physically, due to the common stigma that came with being around others. This place put all those worries to bed. EXTREMELY clean, and all protocols are set in place to get the safest workout possible. Everything gets wiped down & sanitized by staff & trainees regularly. All essentials are offered from sanitizer to rubber gloves. Whomever is looking for a non-judgmental, clean, fulfilling program, then Krav is it… and Executive Self-defense is the place.” – Justin I.

“Took an LTC Level 1 Defensive Handgun course. The course was great. Andrea did a really good job providing instruction. The class worked on shooting under stress and creating situation with increased adrenaline.” – C.J.

“I recently moved out to McKinney and been wanting to take some self defense classes. I came across this self defense and Krav Maga facility taught by Andrea and it was wonderful. She was very informative, professional and knowledgeable. I learned a lot in my first class. I highly recommend this to anyone wanting to learn self defense or to get in a good workout.” – Diana P.

“After sitting behind the desk for over 15 years, I found myself overweight, out of shape, and left with a feeling of vulnerability in my abilities to protect myself, my family, and my brothers and sister in red and blue. I created this situation through the lack of continued training in defensive tactics and through the failure to maintain a proper fitness level that is necessary to do the job. Since I began my training at ESDF, I have gained both the confidence to perform my protective duties as a father, husband, and public servant, as well as, positioned my self in a state of fitness that I haven’t seen since I was last in the field. Andrea provides a non intimidating  learning environment while teaching practical techniques in self defense that can be used on the job or on the streets and encourages physical health and fitness through the variety of programs that she offers at ESDF.” – B.

“I’ve been a police officer for 20 years. In 20 years my law enforcement career has provided minimal defensive tactics training. I recently began a search on my own for something that would supplement the basic training I’ve been exposed to through my career. What I’ve found with Andrea Tabei at Executive Self-defense and Fitness has proved to be far more than a supplement!” – R. Harrison*

“This made me start to think about dangerous situations in a different way. I’ve always been ‘nice’ so I felt that [trying to] hide would be my first reaction… , but now I feel empowered to fight back.” – C.C. *
