His expertise has benefited Rochester law enforcement, correctional officers, and community security teams. Dr. McNeill has also earned multiple world martial arts championships, further emphasizing the depth of his knowledge and commitment to empowering others.

The event is open to women interested in learning practical skills to protect themselves in various situations. No prior martial arts experience is necessary.
