TESTIMONIALS
Jimmy H.
"I've known Ryan for about 11 years. Throughout all those years, every day I leave the house, I apply the teaching he instilled in me from the many courses I've attended over time.
When I first joined, I was 26 years old and coming from the west side of Cincinnati, I assumed it would be a typical course with basic knowledge. But I was quickly humbled by the real-world experience and wisdom Ryan shared. It turned out to be the best thing that ever happened to me. Not only did I learn how to defend myself, but I also gained a deeper understanding of things I thought I already knew, like morals and family values.
Even now, I can still reach out to Ryan for advice, and that means the world to me. These aren't just courses, they're a gateway to a lifelong friendship and brotherhood." ~ Jimmy

"I've known Ryan for 10 years now. He is the most personable, professional, and jovial person I know. I took all of his classes at Tactical Intelligence Group which teaches real world defensive skills. I took all of his group classes on Close Quarter Pistol Shooting as well as three private lessons per week, learning both armed and unarmed tactics. In addition, his first aid class specializing on gunshot and stabbing wounds was amazing as well as his Home Defense course and Reality Based Scenario Classes. Having taken his courses and private training has given me the confidence and security to protect myself and others if needed. I highly recommend Ryan for it is an honor and pleasure to train with him." ~ Cathy

"Many years ago, a coworker took a tactical class led by Ryan. I was seeking similar training and enrolled in a class as well. Ryan is a first-rate instructor, bringing tactical knowledge and everyday experience together in an informative and safe environment. After taking another class or two, I decided to engage Ryan to provide some private lessons for my kids. I wanted my kids to receive first rate training without any of my personal biases. Ryan yet again provided great service. I highly recommend Ryan, and I plan to engage his services again." ~ Spencer
SOME OF MY FRIENDS...
"Over the past 30 years, I've been fortunate to study a vartiety of martial arts both formally for long periods of time and also as "on the job" training. Beginning with Tae Kwon Do as a youngster and evolving into various styles including BJJ, Krav Maga, & Shotokan Karate just to name a few.
I currently started a new journey in the Budo Taijutsu/Ninjutsu tradition, a style I've wanted to learn since I was a child. With that said, over the years I've met many Instructors, Masters, Sifus, and Senseis who were all really great. However, I've chosen two that have really stood out that I believe to be the best instructors in the business, as well as personal friends! Please check them out below!" ~ Ryan
