About Me

For over 10 years,I have taught for hundreds of clients how to protect themselves

I have always been involved in sports throughout my life. During my early adulthood, I directed my competitive nature and aggression towards combat sports. I inevitably pursued fighting career. I always enjoyed teaching. Breaking down the nuisance, seeing progression, and found a passion in being a personal trainer/coach.
I started my self defense business in 2012 and never looked back. Throughout the years, I have gained tons of experience working with a wide variety of people with different fitness levels, limitations, and goals. 

One of orange county's best self defense training

Our clients have transformed their lives through our self defense training, gaining confidence and personal safety skills. Here's what they say...

Ernest was amazing! Very Professional, flexible and easy to work with. We booked a self defense class for an employee event. Ernest made sure he was able to cover all levels to make it personalized and comfortable for everyone. He even guided each person individually. Everyone had a great time!

Ej is awesome. He is very patient with you as you learn with each session. He is very personable and fun to train with. If you are looking into self defense I would highly recommend his services. He has professional knowledge in various mma styles and will focus on your goal with you. One year with him now and could've not been more pleased:))

I have been training with Ernest for the majority of this year and it has changed my life! My confidence has skyrocketed and I feel strong in my self defense abilities which, as a woman, is a huge relief. He is a great teacher and adapts to your learning pace while maintaining consistent encouragement to push your hardest. His communication is clear which makes it easy to absorb the lessons and his professionalism is always consistent. Not only that, but he is an all around nice guy and I look forward to our sessions each and every time. My journey has gone from wanting to learn general self defense to finding a passion behind the art of it and integrating it into my life regularly.

HSA/FSA ELIGIBLE TRAINING PROGRAMS

Some of our training programs are designed to support health outcomes such as injury prevention, stress reduction, mobility improvement, and functional strength.

In certain cases, these types of programs may qualify for reimbursement through a Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA) when supported by a Letter of Medical Necessity (LMN) from a licensed healthcare provider.

Eligibility is determined by your healthcare provider and your HSA/FSA administrator.

 
 
 
 
 

HOW HSA TRAINING WORKS

Many HSA/FSA providers allow reimbursement for fitness or training programs when they are recommended by a licensed healthcare professional to address a specific health need.

The general process typically includes:

  1. A healthcare provider evaluates your health goals or medical concerns.

  2. If appropriate, the provider may issue a Letter of Medical Necessity (LMN) recommending structured training.

  3. Training receipts and documentation are submitted to your HSA/FSA provider for reimbursement consideration.

 
 
 
 
 

Telehealth Medical evaluation

For clients interested in exploring potential eligibility, Titan Self Defense works with an independent medical provider James E. Creek, MD who offers telehealth consultations to evaluate whether structured training may qualify for a Letter of Medical Necessity.
