“As a retired 32 year law enforcement veteran, with several years of SWAT and tactical experience, I learned some different unique perspectives as it pertains to civilians dealing with active threat situations. Very good class for civilians who may have never experienced reacting to a life and death stressful situation.”
– Christopher C.
“Outstanding material and presentation! As a security professional with 30 years in the industry, I have taken and delivered this type of training. The material here, how it is organized and presented make one of the most effective training classes on the subject that I have seen. Mr. Julian is an outstanding teacher, with a delivery that is approachable by all. This course should be required for high school students!”
– NEIL K.
“Just what I needed to know to live through an active shooter(s) situation. This video helped prepare me to assess, fight, and live! Not too long or boring; it was over before I knew it. So glad Julian put this together because this is happening regularly and EVERYONE needs to be prepared to attack & kill the shoot(ers) so we can go home to those we love.”
– CHANDOLYN G.
“Great introduction to developing the mindset for survival. After years of military and law enforcement training, this course was a nice refresher to maintain the survival mindset, and a great introduction for individuals who have never contemplated the possibility of being subjected to an active shooting situation.”
