From the CSAT November 2009 Newsletter:
I have one hand-combat trainer and staff that I recommend. This is Danny Halligan of Halligan Combatives. I worked with his staff and educated them on all the tactical drills that I use to include CQB, Exterior and Interior Movement, Vehicle extractions, etc. They have reverse engineered their system to work at all levels in the use of force spectrum.
Their system is simple, effective. It is deadly when you choose it to be.
This course is great, it helped me a lot. I will be able to use everything in the course on the street.
Very simple movements, but highly effective. Not a typical boring lecture class.
Great hands on, relevant and fun. Instuctors were all very helpful and taught with great passion.
Very different approach to the same problems. Awesome mindset.
Simple technique = mighty power. Awesome - Awesome - Awesome!
Very informative, I wish I would have taken this sooner. This was life changing.
It allows you to gain real life techniques. Actually putting the techniques in action is very effective.
Simple, easy ways that are effective in the use of attacking (offensive) moves towards non-compliant subjects.

I took a one day class with you about a year or two ago. I found this class to be excellent as far as hands on training goes. I have taken other ground fighting classes and defensive tactics classes for officers and just didn't feel that they were useful in real world "shit hitting the fan" situations. I would like to bring this training and the ideas behind it into my department. We are not a large department and we have a lot of part time officers as well which makes it difficult to gather everyone for one training. I was wondering if you offer a train the trainer type of instructor class or something along those lines. I thank you again for the training you do, I believe that it's the realistic training that can help save our lives.
