While fancy techniques are taught they are done so under the pretense of training attributes rather than the expectation it will be pulled off in real life fight.

George has the patience of JOB and the unwavering desire to teach, to share, to push you to where you want to get to. Even when you're not sure you can get there!

Guru Chaber came to our gym to teach a stick fighting seminar. We all had zero knowledge. He led and taught a fun, eventful and informative seminar that had us all feeling comfortable and ready with a situation we were all new to. I highly recommend his skills, knowledge and services.

George was always friendly, professional and very knowledgeable. My children were treated with respect and leant so much from the time with George.

I've seen Guro George teach twice and he is organized in his thinking, as well as knowledgeable in the martial subjects he has trained in.

He was sensible, realistic and practical. He was great to work with and a kind guy.

I’ve worked with various martial artists and instructors over the past 30 years, and I can say that Guro George is by far one of the most gifted and talented teachers. Guro George has a way of putting his students at easy with humor and breath of his knowledge. He looks at broadening not just your physical attributes but your mental game. I would recommend if you get a chance to take a class or seminar it would be time well spent.

Chaber is an amazing instructor. Real training for real situations. These times it’s more important than ever for us to know how to protect ourselves. Super friendly and great attitude!!

teaches and explains very well. When needed,will be hands on with you. One of the main things that I like, you can try working it out to see if it would work under certain circumstances.

Working with Guru George is great! He is very knowledgeable when it comes to trapping and dirty boxing. He is also very good at incorporating grappling with striking in order to control an attacker and deliver damage. His approach to teaching is fun, he has a great sense of humor and although you are working hard it doesn't feel labored at all. I always feel energized, confident and informed whenever I work with George. I highly recommend him!

Top Notch Instruction!!

It was a great experience for my daughter! George is an amazing instructor who really knows how to make the classes fun for the kids while also teaching them the proper techniques and discipline. He’s very engaging with all the parents as well and just makes it an overall great experience for everyone! I highly recommend anyone looking for martial arts classes to go here!

Great instruction learned a lot of kali, silat, and jkd. His jiu jitsu was on point. One of the best instructors that I have had the privilege of learning from.

I began studying and practicing mixed martial arts in third grade in order to learn how to protect myself. However, over the years, I have learned much more than that; I have developed a sense of security, self-control, self-discipline, confidence, respect, responsibility and awareness of myself and the world around me. I have learned the importance of staying fit and staying ready, and I attribute a lot of who I am as a person today to the self-protection services I was offered through the Bethel Academy of Martial Arts and George Chaber’s tutelage. I believe it is within everybody’s best interest to better themselves via that same tutelage.

Made me more self-aware, made me a better athlete and human being.

George provides valuable, applicable, real-world situations and strategies to keep yourself and loved ones safe! George breaks techniques down step by step so that anyone can learn the techniques shown! George has many years of experience and training in multiple disciplines and shares his knowledge with great enthusiasm and sense of humor.

George is a fantastic and thorough instructor. Very knowledgeable.

Very professional, technical training. Highly recommend to all interested in seriously learning how to defend themselves.

George teaches life saving skills to his students and to me, as a parent, that’s priceless. I am much more confident to send my child away to college knowing that she’s capable of defending herself from unwanted situations. He is a great professional and always goes an extra mile for the well being of his students.

Guru George has a wealth of knowledge and understands how to get the most out of his students - whether they are elementary school kids or adults. And he CARES about what he does. He creates confident, respectful warriors.

George is a very knowledgeable and practical teacher, with an extremely vast skill set.

Mr. Chaber is a career martial artist and is extremely knowledgeable in what he does. I appreciate his “no nonsense” approach to self defense which is taught with humility and patience. If you listen and practice what he teaches, your overall performance can’t help but improve.

I’ve been here quite a few times for some of the seminars. Always a great experience! Get to learn a lot, meet new people, and gain a lot of valuable information. George is extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Have never tried the regular classes but I would definitely recommend the seminars to anyone who wants to expand their training and add some flair.

What I liked most was the knowledge of the art the instructor had to offer. Our teacher took the time to work with each student to help them improve. Classes were a great learning experience while being enjoyable at the same time.

Instructor/owner is committed to his students and his craft, and extremely knowledgeable. Already an excellent teacher, George never stops training and developing his own skills.

Great class which has propelled my training.

Ability to understand what to do in various situations and how to handle yourself.

Knowledgeable instructor, professional and very skilled.

I have known George for about 15 years. His knowledge of the martial arts and self protection is vast and he is always looking to continue his education and training. I have also seen him coach and teach to all levels and ages, he is amazing and really loves what he does. I recommend him to anyone who is looking for a great coach to train with.

The instructor was very knowledgeable and provided excellent drills to use at home. He genuinely cares about the quality he teaches, you as a student and the arts he performs.

George Chaber is an effective instructor who is clear and concise with directions. He's a fun guy with a heart of gold, and it shows in his work as he tries to inspire a positive change in people. Whether it be teaching adults, or instructing school kids, George is great at bringing out the best in everyone who enters his dojo.

George is a wealth of knowledge. He has customized strategies for me, a 5 foot 110 lb. woman, to defeat someone much bigger than me. He has always taken the time and extra effort to be sure I was doing maneuvers correctly. My only regret is that I didn’t get to train with George more often before relocating out of state.

Guru George is a top tier instructor who has a wealth of knowledge and ability in his craft. Having been blessed with a Sifu who is always hungry for more lead us both to Guru George's classroom. We were pushed to work hard physically, and from a mental aspect we got answers from a great functional point of view. I also got some fantastic pointers to help use my size more to my advantage at times when avoiding physical clashes aren't possible. Guru George is very straightforward, and gives easy to understand instructions throughout his classes. He is also very vocal with words of encouragement. I highly recommended anyone looking for a knowledgeable instructor in a functional form of defense to work with Guru George.

George is an extremely experienced and helpful instructor. I truly enjoyed his seminars on Filipino Martial Arts and highly recommend him if you are interested in learning FMA.

George Chaber is a phenomenal instructor. Great sense of humor in his teaching method

George is very knowledgeable in a vast amount of martial arts. Great at articulating what he wants you to do and perform. One of the top martial arts instructors in the area.

Guro George is a top notch instructor. He methodically breaks down the lesson so the person fully understands what's being taught. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for solid self defense skills.

George does an excellent job of condensing down his extensive knowledge into digestible and very practical bits. Most seminars you will be presented with a very large volume of techniques and concepts but leave with very little usefully absorbed. With George you are presented with a few key concepts and the chance to absorb those concepts in a number of applications. Also his humor and humbleness makes training always fun.

Professional, experienced, knowledgable and able to prepare anyone and everyone for real-life situations. You'd be a fool to go elsewhere.
