Emery, from The E List, tried Advanced Street Defense and this is what she had to say:

Advanced Street Defense is designed for anyone who wants to learn to protect themselves and their family quickly and effectively. You must be willing to train hard, but you don’t need to be in great shape to start the course. You’ll get there with this course. The ASD Course will prepare you for virtually any real-life situation you might encounter on the street. This class is a commitment, but the rewards are endless. ASD is the fastest system of self-defense in the world because you will learn just ONE technique for each type of attack. Many of the fundamental techniques are similar to each other and this system uses repetition to systematically imbed these techniques into your muscle memory. After six months of training you will be proficient in defense against attack moves such as a punch, choke, wrist grab, lapel grab, kick, tackle, hair pull, headlock, handgun to body & head, knife attack, baseball attack, and tire iron (to name a few!). You’ll learn conceptual principles, too: what to do once you’ve disarmed an attacker, how to deal with multiple attackers, awareness and threat level principles, and how to keep your head during an attack.
