Practical Self Defense Training Center 847 Hamilton Avenue, Waterbury, CT 06706

"I made a comment regarding a small error in one of their posts because I thought maybe it was a typo and self defence should be conveying useful and truthful information. I proceeded to be verbally harassed, called a reta&# and threatened. From what I can see the head instructor is either a bigot, a fraud posing as an instructor or both. I would highly recommend avoiding this place as it seems to harbour a very hostile and bigoted outlook to any questioning or slight disobedience to the head instructor. Very cult like."

"This place is very safe to learn and very knowledgeable. We visited in November 2021."

"They are a best-in-class Mixed Martial Arts University. Fitness and self defense training programs that are second to none. If you're looking for a place to get your degree in martial arts, become an amateur fighter, or just get in shape while learning great self defense skills. look no further. Highly Recommended!"

"This place is amazing. It has state of the art equipment and the staff is very polite and professional. Highly recommended for anyone seeking to enhance their self-defense capacities. I am currently three weeks in with no intention of ever quitting. Mr. Kosakowski and his crew are a godsend."

"I studied several arts here for many years - I still train and only stopped at this location due to geography. The owner Ron, and the other instructors here are all immensely skilled, dedicated and are welcoming and genuine people. The arts taught are unique, hard to find and very effective. Yes, the atmosphere is relaxed and jovial but the training is taken VERY seriously. I have been in the arts for 15 years and I highly recommend this school."
