"Some time ago I read a short article in a local Milwaukee publication about Dr. Neil Farber's self defense course and was impressed. I had taken some training in Taekwondo in the past and I retained some interest in martial arts, but had not found the right venue. About seven years ago I accepted a commission in the US Navy as a medical officer. I remembered the article about Neil Farber and contacted him, inquiring if he might be interested in teaching an introductory self defense class to my Navy detachment. Dr. Farber agreed to lead the instruction and it was a tremendous success. One of my Navy enlisted colleagues, Petty Officer 3rd Class Annaliese Pinkalla, mentioned afterward that "it was the best thing she had ever done at the reserve center." Since that time I have enrolled in his regular class at the JCC, and it is better than I had hoped. The techniques we work on are simple, practical, and very effective. It is exactly the kind of course I have been looking for. If you are searching for a great self defense class with a healthy dose of physical conditioning mixed in, this is the one for you." -Dr. Gregg Moral, Commander, US Navy, Medical Corps
“Dr. Neil Farber is one of my best friends and one
of my best Israeli Martial arts teachers. He is also one of my traditional
Martial arts friends and best teachers in the USA”. -Avi Nardia, Major, Israeli Defense Forces Res.,
Staff Sergeant Major (NCO) Israeli Police Special Counter Terror Unit, Official
Defensive Tactics/CQB Instructor. Official Instructor of Defensive
Tactics and Operational Behavior at the Israeli Operational Police Academy and for
the Israeli army, Israeli Police, and Israeli counter terror units.
"If you're interested in a self-defense class that, 'cuts to the chase', then Neil's class is for you. Forget about katas
and forms, the techniques demonstrated in this class are
straight-forward, unambiguous, and highly effective. You'll learn how
to defend against a knife attack, a stick attack, a gun, or a choke, and
many more life threatening situations. Plus, Neil will get you in the best
shape of your life!"
