I had the pleasure of having Matthew Dyck do a self-defense workshop with Spirit of the Children Society’s Iskwew Girls Program.  I was very relieved when I found Matthew on his website.  He has a very unique perspective with approaching self-defense.  I work with Teenage girls who needed to gain the skills to defend themselves and Matthew’s calm realistic approach made the girls feel comfortable.  Matthew was able to recognize the various backgrounds the girls came from and adjusted his teachings to suit their individual needs.  Matthew works excellent in a group environment and adapts well to the ever changing energy of the group.  Matthew’s high energy and Metis background made it easy for the girls to relate to him.  I would recommend Matthew as a great Instructor to other organizations and groups.  I plan to continue working with Matthew and building a partnership to help support out Community.
