Testimonials for Tactical Athlete

"Thank you for the amazing two day course that you just put on. Your course was truly first rate. One of the most professional courses that I have attended. The information you gave out was first rate and very applicable to my job. Anyone who works as a cop, or as a solider has a responsibility to the people he serves, the men in his unit and to himself to ensure that they are in the best possible shape to take on any challenges that may come their way. Your course provides just that!
As a State Trooper and as a member of the military reserves I can say without reservation that the material from the course has benefited me with my job performance and with my own personal safety. It has made me a better athlete and Trooper. My grip strength, pull-up power and overall conditioning is through the roof thanks to you! Thank you for helping me be a better man and a cop."
- Trooper Kurt Vied, Massachusetts State Police

"Jeff, A special thanks to you and your wife for the great training in Vermont a couple of weeks ago!! Your training system has already had a profound effect on my and my students functional strength. It seems to be shaving some of the excess also. I really appreciate the personal info you gave me on rehabing my knee. It feels stronger and more stable already. Can't wait to experience further gains. Looking forward to seeing you at another BTCMS seminar. Working to increase my capacity."
- Jack Burke PDR Team

"I just wanted to say thanks again for the information that you presented at Tony's Combatives Camp in Vermont two weeks ago. I had been interested in kettlebells after recently purchasing some of Pavel's books. Getting the opportunity to work with them at the camp sealed the deal and I'm very happy with the 16Kg kettlebell that I bought. The damn thing's so addictive! I'm managing a long term back injury so I've been trying to take it slow but it's hard not to constantly play with it. I haven't actually looked forward to exercise in a long time...it's great! The Power Behind the Punch and TAPS DVDs were also very helpful .
I'm anxious to incorporate both into my workout. Lastly, I just wanted to say you did an excellent job instructing us all. You seemed very at ease and you and your wife worked very well together. I learned a lot and had fun! Thanks again Jeff...I really appreciated all the information and training and I look forward to working with you again sometime."

"At the recent RKC in Minneapolis I had the chance to meet you and ask you a few questions about your H2H, and Power Behind the Punch videos for boxing applications in Mexico. The videos are excellent andI am trying to integrate more of your H2H II moves into my active rest days.
The seminar exceeded my expectations largely because of the instructors and your tremendous example, yet humble expertise you share. I was so humbled to be around such great athletes and teachers, and have a renewed sense of mission due to your examples."
-Chris Ahlquist

"I was privilleged to meet you, at the AFPA Conference in Ocean City, MD,and get my first exposure to the power of the Kettlebell. Man I cannot tell you how excited I was (and still am) about your training. I've been babbling non-stop about the Kettlebell since my return. I even took it across country to Arizona on my vacation! My client's are so afraid! I've been training for over 25 years, and it is hands down the most fun I've had with Iron yet!
I've integrated some basic moves into my training and the results are phenomenal! (I've actually gotten pretty good with the flipping and catching ...in my humble opinion) I just wanted to say thanks and say what a pleasure it was to meet you. Your teaching and humble awareness of your grace and power are amazing. Thanks again. Hope to see you again!"
-Willie Wilson

"Jeff, you are great to work with.  The strength techniques in Tactical Athlete are of supreme importance for a smaller guy like me.  I’m only 5’7” and 150 pounds and sometimes lifting heavy patients that are literally twice my size.  I actually learned to be stronger just by paying attention to what I was doing made me much more confident. 
I really enjoyed tackling the 205# deadlift and conquering it fairly easily when other guys wouldn’t attempt it.  That alone made me feel like I’ve made some real progress in my strength practice.  These techniques will keep me healthy and efficient.  Thanks Jeff."
- Mike Romo Firefighter/Paramedic—Albuquerque Fire Dept

"We were provided with the theory that was combined with Jeff’s vast experience. This training was superlative, after 20 years of working out in various things like bodybuilding, strongman contests, Scottish Highland Games, wrestling, kickboxing and cage fighting (not to mention 10 years experience as a certified physical trainer); I’d have to say that KB and H2H will become a staple of my workouts as it has applications to all the previous mentioned sports and then some. Hands on experience with Jeff was great because he’d answer any question based on his training and experience. Good stuff, worth the money."
- Christian Montano - FIELD OPERATIONS COMMANDER   L.V.P.D.

"The whole workshop was useful! The Tactical Athlete Pull-up system was awesome. As a matter of fact, the following day we explained your principles of body tightening/shortening the abs/screwing in the shoulders, etc. and a female recruit that never did a pull-up simply exploded over the bar. In addition, the H2H drills were great for a tactical operator. The grip strength and hip power developed can make a man truly dangerous. In this business, it is important to walk the walk if you talk the talk.  
Although Jeff is very humble, he practices what he preaches! A normal human should not be able to do the things that he does with a kettlebell.   He truly is amazing. In addition, he is a great guy with a teaching style that makes everyone comfortable and eager to learn."

"Excellent class and instructor. Make sure you're in shape before you attend. Great application for law enforcement tactical training. Tips for pull ups were excellent - I will use them in our academy. We will add these training concepts to our special operations training and officers' survival training. Safer strength training techniques...this class will help eliminate a lot of injuries."
- Special Agent(s), Florida Department of Law Enforcement

"Hey there Jeff!  Just wanted to say a quick thanks for all the great info and training. I really enjoyed the seminar and I think it gave me a bunch of stuff to work on for the certification and just in general. Much appreciated!! Take care and thanks again."
- Marisa DeMaio

"This (seminar) has been a great experience which refreshed my past classes on Kettlebells. Great class! Great drills! This will definitely help my job performance immensely."
- Brad Ahrensfield, APD SWAT Sniper

"Excellent workshop! Great application of over-all conditioning for tactical officers."
- Deputy Greg Reese, BCSO SWAT

"Jeff, a very impressive demonstration of total body strength and fitness. Interesting to see how many movements you came up with using a few basic pieces of equipment. Good imagination and execution. Continued success with what you're doing. "
