It brought back memories...this is an excellent training film! This is instruction a Green Beret, new or old, could eat up! Henley P. Woods (1-3 FSSF), original member of the WWII elite strike brigade the First Special Service Force

I have thoroughly  enjoyed your training tapes and cannot thank you enough for giving me a way to gather myself and explode in order to save my life against guns and weapons.  I am Bill Logan, previously a Point Sparring Coach and participant, now a devoted Self-Defense instructor for "Combat Academy of Tang Soo Do and Self Defense ( C.A.T.S.)" Fayetteville, N.C. The Rifle disarm was especially useful as I have always wondered how one would do that.  Your attention to detail was really what got the training through to me. The Knife defense techniques added years to my life I am sure.  Each scenario was set in a real world environment so as to make it even more believable and real.  All your extra training tips I got while watching your videos will stay with me forever.  I can't wait to share these great lessons again and again with  my Martial Arts Karate Classes.

Thank You for your wisdom and ability to share.

Although I have been a Law Enforcement Instructor for almost 10 years now; there is nothing like Training in the "Real Environment" with an Instructor with the "Real World Experience".

I don't care what your background is...
This is something that is Unique and only happens once in a life time! Not only is Glenn "Skip" Tate outstanding with teaching and demonstrating the basic skills but he certainly has no problem with going to Level 10 and proving to you how what he knows can and will "Save Your Life".

As a Seasoned Instructor there is nothing like enhancing your own combat skills with someone who has actually done the real work...It was an honor to Train under and Befriend this Master Instructor! D.L. Davis - Former D.C. Metropolitan Police Dept. Academy Instructor, Current- Combat Ryu DiJitsui Thai - Instructor, Director of Security, The Sandi Group International

I am a former Special Forces Medic, I retired with 23 years active duty and did my time in Korea, Germany, Japan, Africa (numerous countries), Jordon, Afghanistan, and Iraq. The techniques for disarming your enemies, shown on the DVD "Combat Survival Skills, Combat Disarms Level 1" are invaluable. I know of several instances that it would have been advantageous had I known these techniques. I especially like the rifle disarm. Surprisingly the Army relies on getting to the trigger faster than the enemy, and doesn't spend any time with actually trying to disarm them.

I enjoyed the interaction of the viewer aspect, it places the viewer in a position to see the head attack and use the methods shown while watching from home. This is a unique method that I haven't seen before in any other instructional DVDs. The re-enforcement of groups of men practicing the techniques shown with on the spot corrections, show the viewer what not to do at the same time they see proper application. You see the same unique instructional techniques with the V42 knife fighting DVD.

What I like the most about both of these DVDs is the conservation of movement. You don't have to be some martial art specialist to apply the instructional techniques or a body builder with superior strength. The foot work and small circle type movements place you out of harm's way while putting you in a position to strike back or disarm the enemy.

I strongly recommend both of these DVDs, whether a novice or somebody with prior training both of these DVDs have something to offer. U.S. Army Special Forces (Retired) - Steven Gallop

"Having worked with Glenn in Iraq and Haiti, he is a fine Special Ops Cadre, and THE BEST INSTRUCTOR I have come across. I highly recommend him!" IPTS Executive Officer, U.S. Army Special Forces Veteran - Fred Villalobos

"Glenn is an excellant instructor and an ambassador with a passion and a cause for "DEFENDING THE OPPRESSED" High Risk Ops Manager, U.S. Army Special Forces (Retired) - David Mullins

"Glenn Tate's "Survival" system stands head & shoulders above the rest of the so-called "Defensive Tactics" systems. Instead of formal katas or fancy memorized motions, his system uses natural and comfortable body motions to instantly stop your attacker in his tracks. I can attest to this system's efficiency, having used it to subdue several subjects larger than myself with no muss and fuss. "Simply Put... HIS SYSTEM IS WHAT YOU NEED WHEN YOU GO INTO HARM'S WAY!" Commander, Bolton Police Dept. ERT/SWAT Officer - P.A. McAleer

"As a Police Officer, Tate's "Survival Tactics" have greatly helped me to defend myself, saving my life against knife wielding hand to hand combat situations. His teachings are a must have, not only for Police, but for anyone who wants to know how to defend themselves, their loved ones ... AND STAY SAFE!" NHRMC Police Dept. Officer - Jeff Sandor

"Thanks to Glenn Tate's instruction, while working at a Nuclear Facility, I easily subdued a knife wielding attacker, and controlled him until help arrived." Nuclear Security Officer - Kathleen Kinworthy
