  Ask Victoria: FAQs: What do I wear? C.O.B.R.A Self defense is training for YOUR reality. We advise you dress as you normally would. Ladies bring heels if you normally wear them.  Bring a water bottle & towel.

What if I am not very athletic? Are you kidding? The first time I ran a mile I THREW UP! Just come for the basic mindset and awareness training and when we introduce the physical moves, do what you can. Our goal is to find YOUR strengths and work with those because THOSE are what you will have with you in a confrontation!

What if I don’t do a very good job with the techniques? You can return to future classes as many times as you want free of charge to practice! Take all the time you need! Start small and move forward!

Why did we choose C.O.B.R.A. defense as our training program? I spent 2 years researching the leaders in self defense teaching and what I found is that MOST of them are more than adequate. I was searching for something that was fully based in reality and prepared students for the kinds of situations where we find ourselves in danger. The C.O.B.R.A. Scenario Training is what sold me. Founder Chris Sutton has built a simple but effective program that WORKS. It doesn’t depend on fancy moves (that are likely to get you killed) or on martial arts (Once I completed my Instructor Certification and had all of my questions answered, I knew I could bring the system to my students with complete confidence that it would indeed give them the BEST tools in the world.

Who Can Benefit?

Everyone! The ability to improve your situation when you find yourself in a bad one is not just for people of a certain age, gender or fitness level. Because anyone can be targeted by an attacker, everyone deserves the ability to improve their defenses. Prior experience isn’t neccessary to learn real life self defense. A lot of people will not take a self defense course because they think it’s too hard or they don’t have enough experience. C.O.B.R.A.™ was created for the widest range of students. The following is a brief list of occupations, ages and experiences of some of our C.O.B.R.A.™ graduates:
