More About Coach Michael
I have been involved in the martial arts for 20 years. I hold a 4th Dan Black Belt in Taekwondo. Between 2002 - 2021, I operated my own studio in Rochelle Park, New Jersey. Now that I am located in Texas, I am offering my services as a personal self-defense trainer and Muay Thai/Kickboxing for individuals, families, and small groups. I also offer seminars for businesses, schools, churches, and other organizations. As a COBRA Instructor, I am able to teach a variety of COBRA courses such as Active Shooter Response Plan, Child Abduction Prevention, and Real Estate Agent Safety Training.
I am certified to teach Active Shooter Response Plan, Child Abduction Prevention, Bully Response Plan, Tactical Self-Defense, and Military/LEO Candidate Prep. In addition I provide private training in Taekwondo and Muay Thai/Kickboxing.
I work out of my home teaching private lessons to individuals and families either in their home or other convenient location. I also teach seminars to businesses/corporations, schools, churches, and other community groups. The self-defense system I teach was created by Chris Sutton, a former police officer in Florida. He combined his experience in law enforcement/corrections, multiple combative systems, and military advisement, and is structured so people of any age, fitness level, and experience level can learn.

Client Reviews
Sharmin P. (Testimonial)
Michael Albans self-defense seminar was an excellent resource for non-profit organization Eagles Empowered to Soar during Sexual Assault Awareness Month. The training was comprehensive and addressed various forms of personal violence. Michaels delivery was engaging and informative, allowing attendees to grasp the seriousness of the issue while also offering practical techniques to defend themselves in dangerous situations. The training was also inclusive, promoting a safe environment for all participants, regardless of their gender, sexuality or ethnic background. Eagles Empowered to Soar urged Michael to conduct further sessions in the future as it was a valuable resource for their members who can now take the knowledge and techniques provided and incorporate them into their daily lives. Michaels seminar has had a positive impact on the members of the community and their overall awareness of personal violence. Overall, Michael Albans self-defense seminar is recommended for all individuals looking to protect themselves and others from personal violence.

Michael was very accommodating and wonderful to work with! Very thoughtful about how he instructed my teen-aged daughter and her friends; we felt he really cared about making sure theyd feel confident and be safe in any future challenging situation. They actually enjoyed the class and felt it was very worth while! Highly recommend Michael and this class!

Zach Zuhdi (Testimonial)
Michael is an excellent instructor. He listens to the client and tailors the curriculum to thier needs. The COBRA program is awesome. He has a foundation as a martial arts instructor and gym owner. 30+ years in martial arts and this is the best true self defense, not sport fighting, that I have encountered. It can only add to any training you already have.
Brenda Hart (Testimonial)
Michael was great at showing us what to do and answering all of our questions. The role play was really powerful.
