About the Author

DJ Stephens was raised in Washington, D.C. during the late eighties and nineties, at a time when the city was ranked amongst the most dangerous cities in the country. Having been raised in that situation, he was no stranger to violence. Knowing how to protect himself was a necessity for his survival. His first experience with martial arts was at the first Jhoon Rhee Self-Defense Institute in Washington, D.C. He also trained privately with several local black belts. He soon went on to train as an amateur boxer under his father, who was a well-known boxing coach. He trained for several years in Hapkido and received his first black belt in Taekwondo under Master Gerald Dawson. With a desire to train more adults, he found Krav Maga, an Israeli self-defense system. He trained every day for several hours, and within just a few years, he became an expert-level practitioner and the head instructor at The Krav Maga Institute in Washington, D.C. He is the first Afro-American to receive his Krav Maga black belt in the state of Maryland. Everything he has ever learned, he has gone back to teach others. He has trained boxers, bodybuilders, MMA fighters, and more. He is the founder of CDK Self Systems LLC, a training system that teaches, motivates, and empowers its students to be confident and strong, push forward during times of stress, and fight until the end. His motto is to save the world one punch at a time through the teachings of self-defense.
