WHAT LAW ENFORCEMENT PROFESSIONALS ARE SAYING

Hear from the officers and instructors who bring STORM training back to their agencies.

“This type of training is effective and is needed to control and improve your survivability on the streets when dealing with combative suspects on most levels. Weather The Storm!”
Justin Malek
Detroit Police Department Training Unit
“Top notch organization. Professional in every aspect. Techniques to teach backs, to videos, use of time, professional instruction…”
Dan Roseth
Eagan Police Department
“My confidence and abilities always improve after these courses. This really helps bring back the techniques learned and get officers from my agency to buy into the techniques.”
Lucas Atzmiller
Inver Grove Heights Police Department
“STORM teaches techniques that are simple, executable, functional, and work in the streets.”
Raymond Swanson
West St. Paul Police Department
“I have gained a lot of confidence in this subject. I have no background in combat sports and I was nervous to come to this class, but the way it was taught has made me a lot more confident not only in the subject but in my ability to be able to teach it back.”
Tony Palmer
Washington County Sheriff’s Office
“I feel light years more confident than simply reviewing once a year for several hours.”
Ryan Frederick
