*NEW* Class Updates and Changes

I posted last week about ‘*NEW* Training Class: Combat Transition.’ I have now implemented that and updated the schedule. The new class will be called the Rifle Manipulation Primer (RMP). I am bringing Aaron on as an AI for these classes. Instead of TC3 being available the day prior to CRCD classes, the new format will be […]

AAR #5: CRCD/Patrol April 5-9 – Jon RT

AAR CRCD/PATROL APRIL 5-9 by Jon R T I reviewed all of the AAR’s previously posted from students who completed the MVT courses prior to signing up for the first 5 day combined class. Considering the long drive, I concluded that the combined class would be the best use of my time. It is hard […]

AAR #4: CRCD/Patrol April 5-9 – David

April 5-9 Combined CRCD and Patrol Class John our prayers are with you and your family, thanks for being my partner. Everyone talks about how Max is a great teacher. You have to see him in action to understand just how incredible he really is. He uses so many different teaching methods to help you […]

AAR #3: CRCD/Patrol April 5-9 – Rob

The previous AAR’s do a great job and I’d be hard pressed to improve so I won’t re-hash other than to briefly confirm it’s physically demanding, mentally challenging and Max is a real professional, an excellent instructor and I’d follow him into battle. Nough said there. What I also saw was other side of the […]

AAR #2: CRCD/Patrol April 5-9 – Eric

Wow… There is so much I could talk about with this class. First, I want to acknowledge Max and his willingness to train the average Joe how to defend himself and his family if SHTF should ever arise. Several times throughout the class, Max shared from his experience as a soldier in different parts of […]

AAR #4: CRCD 29/30 March 2014 – Peleus

From: Peleus AAR 29-30 MAR Bottom Line Up Front: This is a superb class that I feel significantly (if not dramatically) improved the likelihood of surviving initial contact with an active shooter.    I highly recommend it as a logical progression beyond “square range” proficiency. Motivation I am late middle age male (well over 50), happily […]

*NEW* Training Class: Combat Transition

You may be aware that I currently offer a TC3 (Tactical Combat Casualty Care) Class the day prior to my CRCD Classes. It’s usually on a Friday prior to weekend CRCD’s. Having chewed things over with students and a couple of others, I have made the decision to change that up. The background is this: […]

AAR #1: CRCD/Patrol April 5-9 – Ernie

To start, prayers for John and his family in their time of troubles. God bless and hope to see you again. I was fortunate enough to attend the TC3/CRCD March 14-16 with an incredible group of guys. I was nervous leading into this class, worried about my gear, PT, and all this being so new […]

5 Day Combined Class – Update + Some Photos

I’m just back in from the 5 day combined class. It was great. A really good bunch of students. It is good to have the full 5 days to work with people, and although the class is a sequential CRCD / Combat Patrol combination, having it all together allows greater knowledge transfer and flexibility in the schedule […]

The First 5 Day Combined Class

I’ve been up at site preparing for the first 5 day Combined CRCD/Combat Patrol Class. We have a full complement of 12 students. Alan and Fred have also graciously volunteered some of their time to help with range safety and as live enemy (!? – I hope they brought good body armor!) The class will […]
