TESTIMONIALS
" Whether dealing with crime in Los Angeles , teaching students at the academy or rolling on
the mats of the dojo,
Lou Salseda has seen it all and dealt with it all. He IS the real deal. "

" Having trained in the Martial Arts for over 40 years now, the one thing I do know is the qualities that make a great Self Defense Instructor and Lou definitely has all those qualities and more. He has an intelligent, caring and methodical approach to everything he teaches in class. Importantly, Lou is not one of the many "theoretical" self defense instructors out there today that are too scared to unfold their arms and be found out for what they don't know. Due to so many years in the LAPD as a law enforcement officer and World Champion pistol shooter, Lou has learned the hard way what works in the real world. You absolutely cannot beat that type of street learnt hands on experience when it comes to teaching real life self defense. Who wants an Instructor teaching you techniques that he himself has never "pressure tested" in any form of real life street scenario. Not me and nor should you. Too many people today accept mediocrity. Don't be one of them. If training in real life self defense is what you are after I promise you that you will find one of the best in Lou Salseda. I am proud to have Lou as my friend and training partner. "

" I have known Lou Salseda for over 10 years and have worked closely with him for the last two years. Lou is both a professional and a perfectionist in everything he does. Lou constantly strives to better himself and others in whatever undertaking he jumps into. Lou is a Black Belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu under world-renowned grappling champion Jean Jacques Machado. I can remember talking to Lou about Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu 10 years ago and still remember asking him how his first class went. With a constant determination to better himself, Lou jumped into BJJ with a passion and still trains atleast 4 days a week. Lou is an outstanding instructor who takes the time necessary to not only teach a particular technique to his students, but he also spends the time necessary to insure the student knows a variety of ways to use the technique in different situations. On top of his Marital Arts prowess Lou is one of the top firearms experts on the Los Angeles Police Department. Not only is his knowledge second to none, but Lou walks the walk by being a multi-world and national titleholder in shooting competitions around the world.
I would highly recommend Lou Salseda as one of the top self-defense instructors in the world. Whether its hand to hand combat or armed combat, Lou Salseda is one of the best. I consider myself lucky to have both observed and trained with Lou through the years."

" When it comes to dealing with the hardest of criminals on the street, no officer of the law knows more than Lou. There is no situation in law enforcement that Lou can't handle. His expertise in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu makes him a nightmare for anyone trying to resist arrest. Just get on the ground and put your hands behind your head, trust me. "

" For those lucky enough to train with him, Lou Salseda is many things .Gentleman, grappling tactician, friend, and also teacher. The solution to an easier way to pass the guard or fine tuning one of your offensive weapons is always a question and answer away with Lou. He's a fountain of grappling knowledge, but more importantly he knows how to communicate that knowledge. From my very first classes as a white belt to the present day, Lou's been a great friend and Jiu Jitsu instructor. I sincerely recommend him if you're looking to begin or further your training in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. You won't regret it. "
