“After taking the FAST Defense Adult Basics class, I feel that I have gained a very powerful skill. I am more aware of the people around me. I also pay more attention to the proximity of the people around me and watch for potential threats. I have recommended the class to several friends and co-workers. I have told them the class will teach them to protect themselves and will give them very easy tools to achieve this. You don’t need any special skills or experience to learn these techniques. I can take comfort in knowing that I can protect myself if the situation ever calls for it.” - Erin Long
“I definitely feel more empowered after taking the FAST Defense Adult Basics class and I feel more aware of my surroundings so that I can avoid unsafe situations. I experienced a lot of different feelings in the days following the class, but I felt very secure with the training I received and knowing that I could defend myself and my family. I know that I have a say and nobody is allowed to enter my space without my permission. I could have really used this training a long time ago. You probably have never experienced anything like this class before and you will feel stronger after the class. It is an eye opening experience that forces us to pay attention to what is going on in the real world.” - Brian Miller
"I live and work in downtown Minneapolis and I have been in uncomfortable and sometimes scary situations - I never knew what I would do if someone ever approached or confronted me. After completing the Fast Solutions seminar, I feel more confident, secure and comfortable knowing I can hold my own no matter where I am." - John
"I work in an office with mostly men and I have been harassed verbally and sexually. With Fast Solutions / Fast Defense I learned appropriate and effective methods to deter the unwanted attention while still maintaining my professionalism and calm demeanor." - Betty
"I didn't realize I was constantly living in High Alert. The low level fear and anxiety were with me all the time, like white noise in the background. After the FAST Defense Class, it was just gone! The sense of peace and confidence is truly amazing and it's carrying over into my business and personal life as well. I find it easier to make tough decisions. What a great gift to give myself, and for less than many of us spend on coffee or lunches in a month." - Pat Schuler
"The class helps you become more aware of potentially dangerous situations and then gives you real practice in reacting in several different scenarios. I was a little fearful at first, afraid that I'd be uncomfortable with the activities. But the actual exercises help you understand those feelings and use them to your advantage. They were not as hard as I had thought, and yet I really feel like I was challenged and stretched and given the tools I could use if I were ever to find myself in such a situation. It was an extremely valuable experience!" - Jane
