Let the Testimonials Speak for Themselves

Erik is an excellent personal safety instructor. It was very rewarding to receive his firearms and self-defense training on multiple occasions. He knows how to tailor his training to the audience, and connects with each student personally. Erik is friendly, social, experienced, disarming, and conversational. Without a doubt, he knows the intricacies of his material (hand-to-hand, non-lethal, small arms, and rifle). With good reason, he is a confident and competent firearms and self-defense instructor. He helped me to improve my skills in self-defense and marksmanship, and I would recommend him to anyone who was seeking to do the same. I trust his judgment and knowledge, and look forward to working with him again in the future.
