Welcome to Absolute Self Defense and Fitness. We’re located in Killeen / Harker Heights, Texas.

Why would you want to train here? This is why…

Elite Fitness Development

We train like people used to train before exercise got dumbed down for the masses. We believe that the human body is meant to express itself in intelligent and powerful ways. We don’t use machines that trap your muscle into planes of movement that do not exist in the real world; we draw from a wide variety of body weight exercises and weightlifting movements and incorporate them in ways that make you stronger and more fit. Want to lose 20 pounds or 10 inches? Want to be able to run and play with the kids? We can help you do that.

Throughout my school years and young adult life I was always active. I stayed in good shape. I never really had to worry about my size. I knew I could fluctuate within a 10lb range without a problem. Then, six years ago I had my first child. After I gave birth to my son, I was shocked at how my body looked. It was November and with having a new baby I didn’t want to take him for walks or leave him with anyone.

Basically, I was sedentary for 4 months. Four months that went by in a wink. The next thing I knew I was trying on a size bigger in jeans and they were too tight! I tried my old ways off dropping weight, and they didn’t work. I became so depressed that I gave up. Mom’s can be fat, right? Three kids, six years, and 80 lbs later I was ready to take back my body. I tried fad diets, gyms, food delivery systems, pills; you name it.

One day I came across an advertisement for the Fighting Fit Fitness Bootcamp in Harker Heights. Truth be told, I was intimidated. I am not one for stepping out of my comfort zone. I thought, if it doesn’t kill me & I don’t die of embarrassment, I’ll try it for a week.

I have NEVER been happier with a work out. Jim (Mahan) is the coach that facilitates the bootcamp. Number one, he is awesome. He is a cheerleader, coach, teacher, and buddy rolled into one. He told me “everyone starts somewhere.” Truer words have never been spoken. I have made tremendous improvements over the past 4 weeks. I have increased my strength, range of motion, & stamina. I have decreased my waist, hips, thighs, & back pain.

I am excited to see what I can do next!

Success Story From A Self Defense Seminar:

Here’s Another Success Story:

THAT WAS AWESOME!!! I said this to Jim but I wanted to tell you. While Crossfit and this weekend give me great physical preparation for what’s ahead of me, what’s of more value to me that I get out of both is the mental tenacity of surpassing any physical limitations that I thought I had. You and Jim provide me the ability to look any physical challenge in the face and know that I can overcome it! Thanks for putting this on and I can’t wait for next course! Chris, Houston Texas

“But isn’t this just like the XYZ school down the street?”

No, We are not. Without a doubt our self defense program combines actual combat effective techniques that I have taught to our Soldiers, Police Officers, SWAT and other special teams as well as Iraqi Army Special Forces and Iraqi Police.

Testimonial:

Jim is the real deal. I live in Lawton/Ft. Sill,OK . I was raised in a military town and I have had the benefit of learning from a lot of instructors, because the transient nature of a military community. If you have ever been in any military town, you know that there are warriors that serve our country and train units domestic and foreign and they don’t claim to be supermen, just guys doing what is required. I work with several veterans that have a pedigree that goes back to Vietnam with similar bio’s. I first saw Jim’s training several years ago. I know other instructors that are with used to be in my area that have worked with his organization and they respect his work. His instruction is clear and direct. I have a large collection of training videos ( over 100). Most of the instructors maybe good martial artist or fighters, but they do not have the ability to easily impart the information as well as Jim. I am 40 years old and I have been through most of the fads and last 25 years and I can say that Jim has always had current and effective programs. In my opinion Jim delivers and I am someone who was spending money back when everything was delivered through seminar and on VHS Tapes.
