Student Review: Combat Team Tactics May 2015: Machine-Gun Ken
This review actually came in as a comment on the ‘MVT Tactical Training: Perspective‘ Post: I’m with Diz, and Max. Just finished my first Combat Team Tactics (CTT) about a month ago. My first “professional” firearm training of any type although I’ve been shooting for years. It was a real reality check!!! Not that […]

The first Civilian Close Combat (C3) Class is taking place on the weekend of July 11/12. Class Description Yes, it’s a close combat class.

Perhaps something a little […]
Student Review: Land Navigation 8/9 June 2015: Antony
Land Nav June 8-9 Simply put, Max’s 2 day Land Nav course is well worth your time of commitment and expense. I have been interested in land nav for quite some time and have done a lot of reading on the subject matter and even took a basic course. I mainly used map reading for […]
Thermal Suit vs. MVT Shield
People have been sending me links to various posts exhibiting the Brandon Smith/Oathkeepers thermal suit. This is no surprise to me because I was aware that they were attempting to develop one. There is a reason that when I developed the MVT Shield I stayed with the tarp/poncho concept. I explain that on the MVT […]
Student Review: Land Navigation 8/9 June 2015: Otis
This was my first experience with MVT and land navigation. The class is informal yet professional, which I felt made it comfortable. Max is approachable with questions and a quality instructor. He cares that you learn and learn you will. Keep your ears and mind open. Military equipment and techniques are covered in theory, but […]
