  A great recent recommendation from a Special Forces
 Veteran talking about our unique STREET PROGRAM!
​"I had the opportunity to training at the Defense Institute under John and Eric with my Special Forces Team in the late 90s (1996-98). If it wasn't for the training and muscle memory that I learned while training at the Defense Institute getting into hand-to-hand with the enemy in combat (Afghanistan 2001- 2002), not once but twice. could
have been a little more difficult if it wasn’t for the focus and the skills their school teaches in saving not only your life but the lives of your comrades. Combat is stressful enough, but getting into hand-to-hand with the enemy while bullets and bombs are  going off as well as the chaos of war just adds to a full plate. The Defense Institute teaches one to win; there is NO second place in a fight while in combat. CW4(R), U.S. Army Special Forces".
