TESTIMONIES

Since 1987, Charlie Moore has had the honor of traveling across the country and abroad to train civilians, business executives and law enforcement officers and departments in self-protection and self-defense. Here are a few testimonials about Charlie and the quality of his training:

"I own a self defense/fitness facility in Evanston, Illinois that serves the civilian market. Each year we try to bring out guest instructors who are experts in their field to provide unique learning experiences for our students and instructors alike. Workshops with Charlie Moore have quickly become our most popular and frequently demanded event.

From a student standpoint this is because he not only brings with him a wealth of hard earned experience/knowledge from 30+ years of law enforcement but he remains approachable and fun while doing so. This way the skills and information on offer remains accessible to everyone.

From a business owner standpoint Charlie is very easy to work with. There is no non-sense and he will do his best to deliver a workshop that is specifically tailored to your request. So far we have done 3 Active Threat workshops with Charlie and each time we've managed to outdo the last. Training was taken from the regular studio environment to office buildings where simunition, shock-knives and body armor were used to create realistic scenarios and then eventually live fire drills at a shooting range.

In short, Charlie Moore is the real deal, and the training he provides is worth the very affordable asking price."

"You can always recognize a skilled teacher because they are skilled listeners/students, as well. I've had the pleasure of working with Charlie on several occasions, and he definitely meets the standard for what I would define as a "High Level Instructor". His knowledge of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu makes him extremely effective in a real world scenario.

But what makes him most special is his ability to take the most effective 'hand to hand' martial art in the world, and apply it for Law Enforcement, Military, or Civilians in a real world combat scenario, where being prepared for the unknown variables makes the difference between life and death."

"I have known Charlie Moore for many years and have trained with him and have observed him teach. His method is innovative, creative and effective. It's rare that you have a self defense practitioner that also combines real life experience, a "been there, done that" guy. Charlie's experience as a Deputy US Marshal, handling the bad of the bad, and teaching defensive tactics to law enforcement worldwide provided him a first hand view of how real violence occurs. Charlie has the answers on how to deal reality based scenarios both from the law enforcement and civilian perspective.

It's rare that I endorse a person or product; however, I highly recommend Charlie Moore. He will prepare you and your loved ones for the unthinkable."

"Charlie Moore's training course for the special operations unit in Ukraine has been one of the most successful to date. Each of the course evaluations described the participants' experience as one of the best training programs they had ever attended. I received nothing but the highest feedback from all the participants. They regard the course as truly comprehensive, which was taught with an understanding that only comes from experience and critical analysis of the program itself.

On a separate note, I would like to commend Charlie Moore – a leader of the instructors' team and a truly impressive professional. His preparation was evident. He explained various topics in a way that only a person who has a deep understanding of the topic can do. His energy was constant. This created a unique level of credibility and feasibility of the training program. I believe that Charlie Moore is a unique asset to Ukrainian law enforcement community, and I hope he will continue contributing to the development of law enforcement in Ukraine.

I would definitely recommend Charlie Moore's course to all the people who aspire to become better selves."

"I have an extensive background in martial arts, self-defense, arrest and control, defensive tactics, firearms, functional fitness and military combatives, as well as a 30-year history of teaching and training in various martial art and defensive tactics systems. I also have a personal library of hundreds of books, magazines and periodicals on the topics. Because of this knowledge and experience, I am in a unique position to evaluate various programs and approaches to self-defense and defensive tactics training.

In my opinion, the self-defense and defensive tactics training programs taught by Mr. Charlie Moore are some of the most effective and efficient methods available. I would highly recommend his training to any law enforcement officer/agency or civilian group!"
