What Students Say

Be sure to read and see what some of our past graduates have to say about the program:

C.O.B.R.A.™

 

  • Jim Graden

    "Chris Suton has really hit a home run with his C.O.B.R.A program. It's the only effective self defense program that I would recommend and I have been in the Industry over 20 years."

    -Jim Graden, World Kickboxing Champion, School Owner

  • "The C.O.B.R.A. self defense program was one of the best investments I have made in my life. I really enjoyed these classes because I feel like I will be able to have control if I am ever put in a situation. I'm not a big person, but I have confidence, power, and knowledge to defend myself."

    -Katie Harrison

    "I took the 10 Week C.O.B.R.A. Self-Defense Academy with my family.  I have no prior experience in self-defense training and I am rather clumsy.  As a physician, I have been in life and death situations; and begin able to think and function in a stressful environment is critical.  The techniques taught here are simple but effective and build on each other.  C.O.B.R.A. uses reality based scenarios that utilize a controlled crisis.  This type of experience is invaluable. A good teacher is essential and Ed Yuncza is excellent.  He has the right combination of knowledge, humor and he is a convincing actor as well (as evidence by his role playing).   His instructors were very helpful and important to the success of the course.  I would like to thank Ed for running this academy! 
    My fellow students were also important to the success of this course.  They were all helpful and supportive.  It was a pleasure to train and learn with them.
    So, take this course as if your life depended on it.  One day it just might."

  • -Dr. Eugene Ryfinski, M.D.

  • "This is a good course, it definitely boost my confidence."

    -Brittany Santiago

  • "C.O.B.R.A. helped me immensely in learning self-defense skills that I will have with me for the rest of my life.  Also, helped give me a renewed sense of self motivation as I lost 20+ pounds during the 10 weeks I was training with Ed Yuncza."
  • -Wayne Aparin

  • "Take the course, its fun, exciting and will develop a better understanding of what to do in real word self-defense situation!"

    -Lee Johnson

  • "You learn a lot in a very short amount of time!  Ed has a ton of energy and he’ll maintain your interest, and encourage you to excel."

  • -Tamara Thatcher

    "C.O.B.R.A. is a great way to get moving and learn some practical things to protect yourself."

    - Frank Soltis

  • " C.O.B.R.A. offered lots of variety and kept things new and interesting.  Scenarios were challenging, bringing up new possibilities and unique threats.  Overall, a good course for just about anyone."

    -Chris Miller

    "If you’re looking for a program that goes beyond self-defense as you know it, then C.O.B.R.A. is the course to take.  It brings you to as real-life situations as you can get in a safe environment."

    -Arlene Olla


    "Not an average Karate class.  There are no fancy kicks or punches.  It’s all basic, practical techniques that anyone can use regardless of age or gender.  Definitely worth the 10 weeks!"

  • - Matt Friedfeld

  • "C.O.B.R.A. training is very useful for young women who go out at night."

  • - James Plastine


    "The C.O.B.R.A. experience was very similar to what I taught as a combatives Instructor for the United States Army. Chris Sutton's COBRA course teaches a suite of skills that can absolutely be used in any type of life threatening situation. Personally I had my two daughters and two boys take the course because I am a big believer in the confidence it builds and skill set it provides."
