MVT: Transition & New Training Opportunities

So, over a pleasant lunch I was informed that I am being ‘transitioned to  a new opportunity’ at work (to paraphrase SultanKnish), beginning after my two week notice period, so effectively after Thanksgiving.

This is excellent news for Max Velocity Tactical.

I intend to do the following:

1) Ramp up the writing of the sequel to Patriot Dawn.

2) Be more available for training: CRCD, Combat Patrol, and any private classes.

3) Make myself available for site defensive surveys and private training.

I will be updating the website to include the site defensive surveys and more information on private classes. I will be mulling over the best way to schedule more training – there are only so many weekends in the month. I did float the idea at the last couple of CRCD classes of running classes during the week, to include perhaps a five day class incorporating CRCD and Combat Patrol (2 days then 3 days sequenetial).

I’ll also try and get out and about to expos and such like more often (like once, rather than never).

Comments and suggestions are appreciated.

  4. Max,

    When God closes one door, He always opens another. Now you can devote all of your time & efforts to growing MVT. I will be there for your 1st 5-day class. Can’t wait. See you again in January.

  5. Max, any indication by your employer that your transitioning has anything to do with your writings and/or your training program?

  6. Thanks Max for planning on working on PD 2… “You can do it!” Now I will have to re-read Patriot Dawn the Resistance Rises in preparation…

  7. This fits:

    Q: I’ve always tried to teach you two things. First, never let them see you bleed.

    James Bond: And the second?

    Q: Always have an escape plan.

  8. Sory to hear.

    bad news for you.
    Good news for us ;)

    I am sure in todays climate the training business will be plenty to keep you busy : )

  9. sorry to hear that.

    Bad news for you in this case means good news for us though ; )

    I am sure in todays climate the training programs will be able to keep you busy. : )

  10. Sorry to hear of this, but I understand unexpectedly “finding free time,” having been there in the past. There are many of us ready to hire you! I would be delighted to discuss your on-site consultation services,and perhaps be your first client.

  11. Max, Sorry to hear that. Hopefully inside a reasonable period you can get Max Velocity Awesomeness LLC transitioned into enough of a job to keep home and hearth going.

  13. […] UPDATE 1355 EST 15 NOV 2013: Max is soon to be more available for remote and other types of consulting. […]

  14. Max:

    I like the classic “tactical triad”, of weapons, equipment, and training. With training being your strong suit right now, you can add equipment (such as your MVT overhead cover, battlebelt, etc.), and custom MVT weapons builds (AR’s n Glocks of course). By adding weapons and equipment to the mix you offer a well-rounded package for folks looking to get race-ready.

    The best place I’ve found to network on this stuff is to show up at the SHOT show and meet various folks in the industry and see who you’d like to throw in with.

    I really think reality-based combat training is gaining momentum in this country (as opposed to hobbies and games). My experience is that maybe 10% of the market was previously interesting in realistic applications. I believe that figure is going up as we speak.

  15. Max,
    Sounds like the cord’s been cut, ready or not, for better or worse. Strong men make their own luck, and I have no doubt that you’ll continue to do good things, sir. I have to say, like I did last week at class, soon might be the time to call in volunteers to build the course to all that you envision that it can be. Recruit an organizer type to do the admin bubba type b.s., and barter it out in class time or one on one sessions for stuff you and the course need. 2 hours working on the finer points of shooting under your eye would be worth quite a few hours of civil or mechanical drawings, legal documents or work on finicky “Ivan” circuitry.
    I know we will all appreciate the hell out of you being more available, but I urge you to let the community help you make this thing a breadwinner for you and the family, too.
    Its all about mutually beneficial networking, right?

    To the readers, let the man know if I’m making sense here, and how you might be able to get involved.
    Stay sharp and safe, sir.

  16. Max, Sorry to hear that this change happend on their time schedule and not yours. See you in Jan at Patrol.

  17. A week-long combined course? I’d like to register my interest in this concept as well.

    Suspect that the tricky part would be, for many, finding the time.

  18. MV, on your old site there was another class that was offered to students after CR/CD besides Combat Patrol.

    What was it called again?

    And what happened to it?

  19. The 5-day CRCD/Patrol will be great for CRCD alumni to bring buddies back and train with them. I know I have a few interested after talking it up.

  23. sounds like the perfect opportunity to expand into gear sales from your site. if people are going to subscribe to your training, most will want to supply themselves with the products you use and endorse.
