Since everything is specifically tailored to the individual needs, sessions can vary greatly from client to client. Our initial meeting will be to discuss your personal goals and evaluate your level. Clients who are training for personal defense, either for the streets, or for work as a bouncer, security, LEO, or military will be more focused on techniques and drilling basics. Professionals can expect more focus on conditioning and strength with more repetitive, focused, sport specific drills. In both cases clients will learn the science behind the fight.

Client Reviews
Joe McLaughlin (Testimonial)
Dan is one of the finest coaches out there. He has a vast knowledge not only of technique, but also how to teach that technique to students of all skill levels. He can start a starting student who has nothing, and he can polish a seasoned pro to refine their game. He is a cornerstone in my martial lineage.
Kirk Lawson (Testimonial)
I completely recommend Dan Kanagie and his Martial Arts instruction. He is well versed and completely competent in historic pugilism, historic wrestling methods, and other related martial skills from the European and Western traditions.
Mark Hatmaker (Testimonial)
Daniel is a passionate researcher and a dedicated Western Martial Artist. I consider it a privilige to know the man.
Michael Bazis, CMT, DMT (Testimonial)
Dan is quite literally the most knowledgeable person I've ever met when it comes to the martial arts. In just the last few years that I've worked with Dan I've learned more practical and effective techniques than I have in the last 30 years of training. Dan is a hidden gem in the martial arts community and I fully endorse him and his training.
Jake Shannon (Testimonial)
Dan is a man after my own heart. He's passionate about his field of endeavor and does whatever it takes to make forward progress and live up to his commitments. It's been great to watch his organization and accomplishments grow. He's made the sacrifices and its great to see him get bigger and bigger.
Scott Fair, CMC (Testimonial)
Dan is an expert martial artist and excellent teacher. My son has taken several special subject classes with Dan and has always learned a lot. He makes the techniques understandable and goes the extra mile to make sure everybody "gets it". He lives this stuff and his passion for the material is evident.
Dave Dickey (Testimonial)
Dan was one of my top two instructors. His ability to consume large amounts of information in a short period of time in enviable. His dedication and hard work puts him in front of most. Anyone training under Dan is going to know the meaning of perfection and will do well to listen to him closely.
Melissa Savoy (Testimonial)
Daniel is a phenomenal martial arts coach with a deep knowledge and love for what he teaches. He's patient with his students and takes the time to explain the way a move works in terms of the body's physical workings in association with the history and desired result of the action. I would recommend him as a teacher at any level.
