I sent my 18 year old daughter who is leaving for college this fall to a Streetwize Self Defense class with Sensei Melanie Murphy. At first my daughter didn't want to go, but I thought it was important to send her away with some tools to protect herself in case she finds herself in a bad position. She spent 2 hours with Melanie and when she came home there was a noticeable excitement and confidence in her. Melanie brought that confidence out by showing my daughter how strong she really is. I would recommend that every dad send their daughter to see Melanie and take one of her self defense class. Thank you Melanie!read more

A great dojo. A great mix of fighting skills, self defense and the traditional practice of kata. The more advanced students truly care about the advancement of the lower ranked students. Sensei Murphy wants the art to be practiced by the student in their own way, while at the same time maintaining a core curriculum. A truly unique mix.read more

I took Streetwize Self Defense two years ago. Recently I was accosted at a deserted car wash and I was trying my best to just finish up and get away from the guy who was talking to me. Next thing I know he is right next to me, in my face. My body and my brain went into automatic thanks to Streetwize. I stepped back, right hand in a fist at my hip, feet wide and ready to kick, left hand out while I shouted "you need to back off!" My heart was racing as I looked him up and down in order to ID him for the police if things went bad. He looked at my fist, my face, my feet, gave me a sneer and walked away. Melanie, your training saved me from something evil - no doubt. I am forever indebted. If you want self-defense that works and that stays with you, do Streetwize.read more

I went as a part of a company self-defense class. From the moment I walked in, the teacher was very welcoming. You can definitely tell the amount of passion she has for her art and vision for her students. Definitely recommend it for any company or individualread more

It has been easy to devote 16 years of regular practice to this school. It's a deep training that is nearly impossible to find these days, far from instant gratification based, and the marital artists there are incredible people that embody integrity. The women's self defense is ferocious, effective, and delightful - I want every woman I know to do it, and I wish it was taught in every school around the world! It is so worth checking this place out!read more
