““EXCELLENT!" What a wonderful opportunity for these children! Wonderful rapport with the children! This program needs to be a part of every class curriculum. It’s that important!!! “
Barb Keyes, 3rd Grade Teacher
"Simply the BEST Children's safety program I've yet to see in over 20 years of Law Enforcement!"
J. Syrotynski, Co-Director of Security Utica School System, Ret. 20+ year Law Enforcement Officer
"....In reading and hearing of the concerns about violence in schools it is a good thing that there are resources such as FAST Defense for Children available to our students. Chris Fry has the ability to tackle a very sensitive and often fearful topic for children and adults in a positive and effective manner. I personally took the class with my 15 year old son. We both walked away with a sense of inner strength and confidence in our own personal lives. The Utica City School District is fortunate to be able to provide this training for the students through the Safe Schools Healthy Students Initiative."
Nancy K. Kelly, Director Utica Safe Schools/Healthy Students Partnership Inc.
"It was exciting and motivating, what a sense of empowerment! My daughter and I feel much more confident about confrontations."
M. Carver, Canastota N.Y.
“This is the only Personal-defense program I can recommend and one that I believe will end the cycle of violence that so adversely affects our society. The physical training, techniques, philosophy, group and individual support give students outstanding tools that they can elect to use if confronted by an attacker. The program gives (those) involved a strong sense of their own power and the ability to protect themselves from harm.”
Bob Fuselier, Captain Carmel Police Department
“Dear Chris, Thanks so much for coming to Columbus School. The kids talk about what they learned all the time. It was great. We hope to have you back.”
Mrs. K Scalise, Elementary School Teacher, Utica NY
“Dear Chris and Denise, Thank you for a “Forever Lasting Message” you taught my students. I was very impressed! I appreciated your time and concern for their safety.”
L. Cranston, 3rd Grade Teacher, Utica NY
"The presentation was of great importance to our youngsters. hopefully more programs like this will come to Utica."
M.Furgal, AIS-Teacher Assistant
"Impressive-good group management. Gave those children who are shy by nature the opprotunity to break the barrier of striking an adult. Some kids are conditioned by upbringing not to fight. Like the scripted routine for students to try."
P.Grant, 2nd Grade Teacher
