Government Security Consultant Chooses ACSD

H. Keith Melton October 29, 2017

“In my work as a government consultant, I travel to many troubled places in the world where I feel a need for greater personal security. After carefully evaluating my options, I learned that Joe Robaina is one of the two specialists in cane defense and the best possible instructor. Twelve months ago I began training privately with Grandmaster Robaina at his studio in Miami for several hours of private instruction each week.
- My instruction works around my physical limitations,
- GM Robaina is patient and understanding but focused and a true professional
- My training centers on self-defense and “street combat” scenarios which closely replicate my real my world travel experiences on airplanes, trains, restaurants, crowded streets, etc.,
- My sessions never exceed my limitations.
- My learning has happened very quickly. After several weeks of training, I felt a new level of confidence.
- GM Robaina tailors each session to my interests and needs.
I am pleased to enthusiastically recommend training with Joe Robaina and his Elite C.O.B.R.A. Defense private training system.

Integrity, Honesty, Commitment

Daniel Latrimurti September 19, 2017 Albuquerque, NM

This testimonial is not about canes, or cane training exactly. It is about Dr. Joe Robaina, whom I have known and worked with and worked for going on 7 years and as someone with more than a casual association it is my honor to be able to share one little tidbit about Joe. It was pretty early on in our relationship that I came to realize what a quality individual Dr. Joe is. He possesses personal and professional qualities that are in short supply in our modern world. Dr. Joe has an honest and sincere compassion for others and helping others around him. I actually told him that if I come back for another life that I am going to pick him as my Dad. Dr. Joe is the kind of man that every son would want to have for a dad. I don't know how to say it any other way that such a metaphor. If you do business with Dr. Joe you get this code, this integrity and honest desire to help you become the most effective practitioner of tactical cane self defense you can possibly be. Dr. Joe has a deep disdain for the 'bad guys' and especially the 'bad guys' who pray upon the innocent. Dr. Joe is the protectors, protector.

Perfect for Seniors

JOHN L ARIES-TYLER February 13, 2016 LONDON UNITED KINGDOM

Dear Sir. I have been watching your videos on You Tube, and found them very practical and easy to use for the defense of Senior Citizens. I have a background of over 35 yrs in various disciplines of Martial Arts, being a 4th Dan in Karate Ist Dan in Krav Maga, and First Dan in Hanbo, plus 2nd Kyu in Aikido. Recently I had a complete knee replacement and can no longer do much ground work and have been concentrating on defence with 3ft short staff and with a cane. I would like to become qualified in this discipline with the idea of teaching it to Senior Citizens for self defense. I am a very fit 75yrs old
Regards

A Fantastic Teacher

Eli Freedman November 19, 2015 Canada

It was an intense Seminar, covering a lot of material and applications. I really enjoyed his teaching methods and explanations, both with the Cane and its Empty-hand translations. I would highly recommend GM Joe as a teacher and if you can, take any of his Seminars. Thank you once again, GM Joe!!
