Fully Recommended
I took the 4 hour Core skills class with Uli. The class was more than I expected! First, Uli is very patient, extremely knowledgable and humble. Learning from him was fun. Also, as someone who has studied Martial Arts since I was 14 this was the first class on how to effectively use an edged weapon. Every technique was explained with the why behind the move.
I fully recommend Uli for training and I will be taking more classes in the future.

Pace and Content spot on.
My sons and I had an opportunity to participate in a Core Skills Course. It was a great investment in developing new skills and further enhancing self defense with a knife. The pace and content was spot on. Appreciated the opportunities to get new skills. Marcus also was a great help with a second set of watchful eyes. Great job, would love to join again, and highly recommend to others!

Excellent Instructor
I did a 2 hour private session with Uli as my introduction to edged weapons and the Martial Blade Concepts system. Uli is an excellent instructor, giving clear direction and feedback. I will definitely be back for more training at Gebhard Solutions. The material covered is a great addition to other combatives and martial arts training

Highly Recommended
Uli and his instructors are very professional and have rich expertise on the subject. The course provided a great amount of insight and exercise countering threats. The pacing was great, I thought 4 hours would be a drag but it went by surprisingly fast. Overall, Gebhard solutions offer very good value for the amount of training we got. We will come back for more training or refresher in the future, definitely HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
