“I met Scott for the first time in Tel Aviv, Israel in March 2022. While he was initially quiet and reserved, I was immediately impressed with his skills as a Krav Maga practitioner. Once he opened-up, his abilities to teach the tactics and applicable techniques were equally as impressive. Since March, I have had the opportunity to teach and train with Scott in the USA, as well.
His continuous thirst for knowledge and relentless work ethic makes him an incredible student and instructor. I am proud to call him a Worldwide Affiliate of the Krav Maga Israel Family and more importantly, a friend. If one is seeking world class instruction, Scott and Melee Defense Strategies is an excellent choice.”

“As a professional fighter in the UFC for 11 years and Owner of Primed Combat in Lansing, Michigan, I am proud to partner with Scott and Melee Defense Strategies to provide true self-defense classes to my clientele.
There are a lot of folks out there peddling different versions of self-defense but Scott’s experience, qualifications, certifications, and actions on the mats speak for themselves.”
