Rich Dimitri Senshido Personal Protection ~(After working with Rich) Mario, thank you brother, your students are wonderful people and were exceptional, you are a great teacher my friend, keep up the great work as your students are testament to your instruction.

J. Bland - Fairfield County, CT~ Good Stuff!

B. Green - Fairfield County, CT~ Good Crunch!

J. Cataldi - Fairfield County, CT~Fun and Entertaining Seminar!

D. Smith - Fairfield County, CT ~ I was exhausted after our training session on Saturday and was still feeling it in my shoulders on Sunday so I wanted to email you to say thank you. I think the fighting program you've developed is extremely effective and after only two classes I feel a lot more confident in my street fighting skills.

Sox Danilowitz New Haven County CT ~ Mario, just a short note to thank you for your Saturday classes and seminars, It's action packed and I'm really glad I joined up. After only a few months, the practical defense tactics I've learned, and the real-life fight scenarios we go through, has added to my level of confidence to be able to defend myself. As a newcomer to martial arts and a father of two adult sons, I am not really interested in belts or uniforms only in learning techniques that will work in a threatening situation. Thanks again!

Sensei Doug Veronesi ~ What a great seminar we had with Instructor Mario Leone. He did a great job with our kids, and the adults as well. I continued to train with him for 4 hours more with Dr. Woodside as well.

Joette Hansen I wanted to e-mail you to let you know that last nights class was AWESOME!!!!!! Mario's workshop on self-defense/self-protection was amazing! Everyone had an excellent time, finding it helpful, informative and essential. Marios method of teaching and lecturing was very effective and made us feel comfortable while addressing a serious issue. I will never forget the tools and information I obtained from Mario at last nights workshop.

Those two hours made a difference that will last a lifetime. Last night was a gift one that everyone woman should give herself.

Thank you for this unforgettable experience and amazing opportunity.
