Defence Lab Canada

Top level self-defence instruction and functional fitness

Great place to learn reality based self-defence and get a great work out too! 2 days a week just isn't enough!!

Dustin Silzer is one the best instructors, I have ever had the chance to train with. Probably in the top 1% of instructors out there right now. Dustin brings years of pressure tested experience, in the security, and personal protective services.So your not just getting, the marital art theory of “Oh this should work”. You are going to get taught things that have and/do work in real life situations.

While working with the Armed forces on a tasking to Dundurn I started doing Aikido with Dustin Siltzer.After my first class he asked me if I would be interested in trying something a little different.I said yes of course and I showed up for my first Defence lab class.I have been studying martial arts since I was 13 mind you and so it takes a lot to impress me.However, within the first 30 min of class I was floored by the simple brutality, simplicity and effectiveness of this style of combat.I would recommend this to anyone at any level of fitness or martial experience.Hands down the best and most realistic training I have ever had.

Best reality based self-defence training in Saskatoon!

Dustin is a competent and serious instructor, his Havoc program is the real deal in functional self defence.

Very practical training. Dustin teaches concepts and can put them into real world contexts. Recommended anyone.

Very reality based on it's approach to self-defense and combatives training. Would recommend this to anyone.

Spent 5 years working along side Dustin. Highly skilled and highly trained. A wealth of experience. I very highly recommend him for your self defence instructor!!
