### 3/5 — Gggg

*2022-10-24, version 1.1.6*

Good morning I hope you have a great day and I hope

### 3/5 — Could be perfect

*2021-02-19, version 1.1.6*

This is a great app and a fun way to get in shape. My only problems are that you can’t opt out of doing certain workouts or switch them out. It’s very all or nothing. It’s frustrating. Certain workouts are much more difficult than others and the only way to rate it is by categorizing the entire thing.

Another thing is that there isn’t enough of a cool down. I’d also really love if there were more tips to protect yourself from getting hurt while doing the workout. Almost threw out my back while doing kicks. Usually in kickboxing classes, they’ll give you tips to ensure you don’t injure yourself, there isn’t much of that.

### 4/5 — Perfect for an avid combat sport fan

*2020-04-11, version 1.1.6*

Locked down. Locked in. 
This is a decent substitute for the classes I’m missing out on. I enjoyed it for what it can offer. 
Not a substitute for in-class training- you still need to spar and practice with someone. Its a supplement for home training.

### 4/5 — Offline usage

*2020-03-22, version 1.1.6*

Offline usage is important, please and pretty please fix this issue.
Otherwise perfect app

### 5/5 — NEXT LEVEL!

*2019-06-10, version 1.1.4*

ich könnte beim benutzen der app HEULEN, weil ich nicht fassen kann, wie wunderschön mighty designt ist. gegenüber anderen JAHRE voraus!

ich liebe euch für mighty ‹3

### 4/5 — Useful, do-able, empowering

*2019-04-26, version 1.1.3*

TLDR: 90% love this app, but wish it was just a little more customizable. ~ As someone who generally doesn’t like “exercise” but knows she should, and who’s too slow/poor for dance classes but would love to actually be good at some sort of gross-motor skill that’s either useful or beautiful, this app was exactly what I needed. The yearly fee seemed high until I considered that I would pay an in-person teacher just as much for just a few lessons, plus have to travel to his/her gym. There’s a suitable variety of short training videos before the workouts - a balance of moves, theory, and mental/emotional empowerment. The workouts are short enough to fit into my busy mornings but also around the right level of challenge, with the option to mark workouts as too hard, too easy, or just right. My one wish is that I could pinpoint which exercises/types of exercises are too hard or too easy. I was shortcutting on several hard ones involving abs and arms because I just couldn’t do them fully, and finally decided to mark a workout as “too hard,” but now I get fewer combos - which I was enjoying - and less aerobic exercise - which I need - and still one or two core exercises that are too hard. (Jackknives?! Are you kidding me?! I couldn’t even do the bicycles and plank pushups before I hit “too hard”!) That’s cut into my enthusiasm a bit, but there’s still plenty of good learning and I suppose eventually it will work back up to a more interesting level and I can just keep taking shortcuts on the exercises that I can’t do. And maybe one day I’ll find I can do them!

### 3/5 — “For women.”

*2019-04-03, version 1.1.3*

Good app, but why is it only for women? What about men? I think everyone needs to learn about self defence, despite of their gender...

### 4/5 — Mighty feedback

*2019-03-25, version 1.1.3*

I loved my first lesson and hope to do more training, it’s a shame you have to pay for them though when I found out I was really disappointed. However the app is really great and it really helps women protect themselves, now I can go out and know I can protect myself if needed, THANK YOU MIGHTY!!

### 5/5 — Highly Recommended!

*2019-03-06, version 1.1.0*

Great and easy to follow workouts! Love it 👌🏾

### 5/5 — These are some badass women!

*2019-02-25, version 1.0.7*

The trainers and content are super motivating, i only wish they were in my living room teaching me live. I love that they don’t just teach the physical techniques, but dive into the mental/emotional topics as well. The holistic approach to self defense what sets this app apart from any fitness app I’ve used before.

### 5/5 — GET. IT. NOW.

*2019-02-22, version 1.0.6*

Empowering, motivating and addictive. What more do you need? You’ll feel safer, stronger and sexier 😉

### 1/5 — Et pour hommes ?

*2022-09-28, version 1.1.6*

C’est une superbe application - il faut le reconnaître - mais apparemment destinée uniquement à un public féminin, dommage car le self-defense n’a pas de genre.

### 1/5 — When are you going to release an iPad Pro version!!!!!!

*2020-05-15, version 1.1.6*

I’ve been waiting to see a release on IPad Pro, when’s it going to happen! 😡If you’re not going to bother to make a version for IPad, then I’ll just delete it. I will not recommend this app to anyone who owns a tablet.

### 1/5 — Great concept ... not inclusive

*2020-05-02, version 1.1.6*

Whilst the instructional videos around self defence are fantastic, the workouts just aren’t accessible for all fitness levels. No modifications are provided for challenging moves which is disastrous for those who are new to working out and don’t have the strength to do these moves with the correct form. As a result, it can be very discouraging and hard to find the motivation to complete the training because even the ‘easy’ and ‘beginner’ level workouts are just too difficult.

### 1/5 — Update-Text...

*2019-12-12, version 1.1.6*

...auf deutsch wäre schön.

### 1/5 — Nur englisch...

*2019-03-08, version 1.1.1*

... obwohl in der Beschreibung deutsch steht.

### 1/5 — ‘Mighty’ Lame

*2019-03-01, version 1.0.7*

Subscription mandatory. 
Training iffy at best. 
Buy pepper spray and a loud whistle or get professional self defense training. 
Don’t trust an app to save your life.

### 1/5 — Kostet

*2019-02-15, version 1.0.6*

Bestimmt eine tolle App, die Aufmachung ist der Hammer nur kostet sie leider im Monat 12,99 im Jahr 59,99 und lebenslang einmalig 199,99...

### 2/5 — MavaKo

*2019-07-27, version 1.1.4*

Selbstverteidigung als App? Und dann auch noch im Fitnessniveau? Nicht euer Ernst. Ihr verkauft falsches und gefährliches Halbwissen. Selbstverteidigung ist extrem komplex und selbst im Training nur ansatzweise nachzustellen, nennt es bitte anders.

### 2/5 — Meh

*2019-04-17, version 1.1.3*

Teures Abo und lediglich für Frauen.

### 2/5 — Can’t learn self defence from an app

*2019-03-15, version 1.1.3*

You need to attend self defence classes and practise techniques with other people. Anyone who is truly interested in improving their self defence abilities will do this - and you won’t need any apps to help you!

### 5/5 — IF YOU’RE THINKING OF GETTING IT, GET IT!

*2023-08-30, version 1.1.6*

I remember when I found out that women are disproportionately impacted by the violence, and looking for an app for self defense. Two years later, I still love it! The workouts are challenging and even just one “section” of lessons help so much with confidence.

### 5/5 — THE BEST APP - HANDS DOWN

*2022-07-14, version 1.1.6*

I am a major proponent of Self-Defense. I absolutely love it. And as someone who is so passionate about the craft, I have tried just about everything and have pretty high standards where training is concerned. This app has not only met those standards - but has exceeded them. Seriously the best you will ever find. If you are experienced in martial arts or just getting started, there is plenty here for everyone. Don’t just take my word for it though. Download it and check it out. See for yourself why this app sets itself apart from all of the others

### 5/5 — Everything I’ve ever wanted

*2022-03-10, version 1.1.6*

This is the first time I’ve ever done anything remotely physical and didn’t hate it. I actually came back the very next day. I’m 40 and that has never happens with anything other than yoga. 

I am sweating and out of breath,  it I am also just a little more confident too. (I’ve only gotten to day 2, and I’m still excited for tomorrow.)

First time ever. 🥰

### 5/5 — Love the app, however..

*2021-11-05, version 1.1.6*

I had to replace my phone, and none of my progress on the app was saved. Now I am going back through the entire program. The refreshers are nice but a bit frustrating.

### 5/5 — Fun and practical workout

*2021-03-09, version 1.1.6*

Love the app! The workouts really get you moving and the self-defence lessons are very informative. No nonsense here, just a great workout with some good tips for keeping yourself safe.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2020-11-10, version 1.1.6*

I’ve never done workouts or any type of sport before but this made it so easy to get fit along with keep up a workout schedule! It also made me feel safer and stronger.

### 5/5 — Fun and well executed

*2020-09-27, version 1.1.6*

Love it

### 5/5 — Très bonne application

*2020-04-24, version 1.1.6*

Un astucieux mélange de fitness, défense avec des courtes vidéos explicatives.
S’adapte au niveau sportif.

Je recommande très fortement.

### 5/5 — Fantastique!!

*2019-07-21, version 1.1.4*

Je cherchais un alternative à mes programmes d'exercices... Je dois me remettre en forme .. Ceci est fantastique et on apprends à se défendre, super!.  La prof est vraiment excellente et son équipe aussi!  Je suis dans le trial, mais je vais continuer à la fin c'est sûr :)

### 5/5 — Good advice and good workout

*2019-06-12, version 1.1.4*

I did kickboxing workouts when I was in college. Now, in my middle years, I wanted to get back into it. This app is great for learning self defense moves and gaining confidence. Lots of great tips and advice. Also, the workouts are tailored to your fitness level.
