Christina O

“We had Silverback Self come on-site for a Self Defense seminar and Lisa was amazing! Silverback was easy to work with and had great communication leading up to the event. The onsite class did not disappoint! Everyone left feeling more confident and had learned a lot about protecting ourselves! I would highly recommend Silverback!“

Lorena T

“My company recently hosted a self-defense training seminar conducted by Silverback Self Defense, and I couldn’t be more impressed! Robert, our trainer, was engaging, incredibly informative, and clearly passionate about keeping people safe and prepared. The seminar included valuable insights on situational awareness, which our team found highly beneficial.

However, the highlight for our team was the hands-on practice of self-defense techniques. It was both empowering and practical. We’re already looking forward to having Robert back for another training session. Silverback Self Defense has truly enhanced our awareness and confidence in personal safety. Highly recommended!“
