This is a review of only the Senior Center and in particular, the Self-Defense class. If you are a senior, go. Andre and his assistant Dee, are wonderful. Andre is patient, careful, and genuinely cares about helping seniors avoid and get out of dangerous situations. His props are pretty fun, too. Andre is a good instructor, who breaks things down and repeats and repeats until you get it. He knows his business and wants to make sure you know it too. And what he teaches is practical. He's teaching you things a senior can do, not expecting you to throw a 300 lb man to the ground. The spicier Dee, is also a good instructor, albeit a bit tougher than Andre. She'd make a cool drill sergeant. If there is one class you can take here, this is the one. It's a great service to the community, especially in a neighborhood where crime against seniors seem to be increasing.
