Kirt is an amazing instructor. He has a unique teaching ability to blend in his many years of martial arts technique and discipline with a great environment for learning. Kirt breaks down technical maneuvers into easy to follow steps which help the novice and advanced individual learn quickly. I was looking for a martial art for self defense that was not going to beat my body up. I found it with Kirt and Krav Maga @ South Coast Self Defense! Highly recommend training with him!

Martial arts schools tend to teach one style. You go to a Jiu Jitsu school for Jiu Jitsu, Krav Maga gym for Krav, etc. There's nothing wrong with pursuing one martial art. For self-defense, however, more is necessary. Master Kirt is a martial arts expert with street perspective and a polymathic understanding of fighting. He teaches the most effective blend of Krav Maga, Jiu Jitsu, and San Soo techniques for self-defense. In other words, it's dirty street fighting for good people. If you want to learn how to defend your life, South Coast Self Defense is your school.
