Taggee is a very good instructor. Excellent, knowledgeable, experienced and gets to core of teaching self-defense. My grandson (29) is glad to have him as a teacher.

Mr. Taqqee is absolutely fantastic at what he does! From the moment he walked in, I could see a remarkable improvement in my son after just one session. I will definitely be reaching out to him again.

Taqqee was awesome to work with! We wanted to host a self-defense lesson for some women from work to celebrate International Women's Day, and he was able to accommodate all of our needs. From the time & place to how many people, he was able to make our setup work and gave us an awesome lesson! I would love to work with him again!

I'm very pleased with his training. I have three children training with him. He not only physically trains them, but mentally stimulates their minds. I would recommend him to anyone! I'll be training with him also.
