From the reviews
I’ve been studying with Dave at Progressive Tactics for almost a year now. At age 72, I decided I wanted to learn self defense and martial arts and his Heber City location is convenient. I am very happy I’m doing it. Dave is a great person and instructor.
Dave runs a great class, with a great teaching style. If you have no experience or years of experience there is something for everyone. Can't recommend this class enough.
Dave is an incredible instructor and I have learned SO much from him! If anyone is interested in learning self defense or MMA, come here to learn, you won't regret it! I was a part of the women's self defense class and I feel way more confident now in my skills.
Dave is really great with the youth. He is very good at taking a person where they are and improving on their abilities. He is very patient and encouraging.
Your first BJJ class at Progressive Defense Tactics
Nervous about walking into a BJJ gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic positions and escapes with a partner — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — many gyms lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi (or a rashguard and shorts for no-gi) and a mouthguard. Live rolling eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
