Easily the most practical and applicable course I’ve taken a part of . I recommend it to anyone looking for DT instructor credentials .

This is a great course for Law Enforcement. This is a complete system that works in the real world. It does not involve complex movements or techniques. It utilizes low risk high reward moves that benefits the officer. Ray is a phenomenal instructor. He explains the movements in detail and breaks them down. Through out the course Ray is continuously explaining principles and concepts about both the system and use of force. Ray’s passion about combatives and the need for improvement in the LE community is what helps drive home the importance of this course. Ray does a great job of not only teaching you the techniques but also how to teach them. I highly recommend this course for any department looking to for a better system to implement in their defensive tactics. This gives a new perspective on what the purpose of combatives in the LE profession is for and how to utilize them in the real world.

This is hands down the best way to teach officers how to respond to aggression. The methods and concepts are simple to teach, so they will be simple for your officers to remember on the streets. I cannot recommend this course enough, and hope I have an opportunity to take more of their courses in the future.

This course is broken down into simple techniques that build off each other starting on day one, including improving your own mindset. Ray challenges the class on Use of Force options and opens your thoughts on different options. This class provides it all: education, confidence, training, and bumps and bruises! Great class and thank you for the skillset Ray! I’m excited to share the techniques and mindset with the rest of our agency.

I do not have a background in ground fighting or wrestling. This course was full of common sense and very informative. The instructor didn’t talk over my head and he was able to explain the techniques in simple ways that made sense to me. I would highly recommend this course for a department that is looking to improve their defensive tactics program.
