TESTIMONIALS

Here's what our clients have had to say about training with us...

1) "Mike and Charity,

As you know, I recently attended your concealed carry class. I just wanted to let you know how pleased I was with the way you conducted the class. As you are aware I am a former law enforcement officer.

It has been about fifteen years since I carried, or for that matter even fired a handgun. After taking your class, I again feel very comfortable with carrying and firing a handgun. I actually learned more about proper shooting techniques from your class than I learned in the police academy almost thirty years ago.

You and Charity took the time with each person in the class to ensure the accuracy of their shooting skills. This one on one instruction taught me techniques that drastically improved my accuracy on placing my shots on target. 

Thank you both for what you do and taking the time to provide this individual instruction that helped me so much."

- Randy S. 

 

2)"Thank you so much for creating a great experience with your class. I had never shot a handgun before this class, and Mike and Charity took the time to teach me the basics, from gun safety to the proper holds to achieve accurate shots. At the end of the course, I qualified for the NRA Basic Pistol Course Certificate. This speaks to the effectiveness of this course, and to the patience and professionalism both Mike and Charity demonstrate to their students. I highly recommend their classes  to everyone, from beginners to experienced gun owners."

- Debra D. 

 

3)"Charity is a passionate instructor and is very knowledgeable in the subject. She demonstrates the techniques very well. She includes the "why you might need this" behind what she is teaching. She encouraged all the students, no matter what their age or ability level. This is a serious topic, but she did not scare the class. She even threw in jokes to keep the mood light. I would recommend her Women's Self-Defense class to any woman, especially to those with no fighting skills."

- Jennifer S. 

 

4) "I’m an adult with no prior shooting experience. I found Quick Tactical’s NRA Basic Pistol Course to be educational and fun. I like Michael and Charity’s emphasis on safety first. They have practical hands on experience with guns, so instruction is not repeating what is written in a manual, but supplementing the course material with real life experiences and tips they have learned. They work well in instructing a diverse pool of students; men, women, novice and experienced shooters. If you want to learn, their classes will put a foundation under the beginner and improve the skill set of any participant open to learning more. The cost is economical and well worth the amount of training provided."

- Marvin G. 

 

5) "Thank you so much for offering the course.  You two did a wonderful job.  I walked out of there more confident and prepared if I should get into a situation where I could have felt helpless.  Thank you for making it a priority to help other women feel safer, more confident and cared for."

- Lisa M. 

 

6) "I have trained under Mike Quick for a year and a half now. Presently, my fiance and I train with him weekly using his "Private online training program." Within this short period of time, I have become confident and proficient in various systems and ranges of combat. As an instructor, Mr. Quick can only be described as gifted in the Martial Arts. Unlike most instructors, Mr. Quick makes the art fit your naturally ability rather than you fit the art. His skill in Muay Thai and Krav Maga are unmatched by anyone I have had the pleasure of working with. He is very professional in his teaching and takes a great amount of pride in making sure the techniques can be performed under any and all circumstances and possible combative situations. He will push you to a achieve leevels beyond what you thought you could ever reach both mentally and physically. I highly reccomend his instruction."

- Najee W. 

 

7) Mike: "I just wanted to personally thank you for your excellence and professionalism with the training both you and the Protect Team provide. My prior training in self-defense and martial arts, although very useful, was quite myopic. The training I received from you and your team really opened my eyes to a whole new spectrum of threats and, more importantly, how to best defend against them and protect innocent lives. I would highly recommend both you and the Protect Team to any person or organization who intelligently  initiates a plan to effectively deal with real-world threats, and NOT to those whose plan is to hope threats won’t come their way."

-Dean G. 

 

8) "Thank you for such a great class. You both taught me the safety and fundamentals of hand gun operation. I especially appreciated the way you taught me to grip the gun and set my stance for balance to achieve constant accuracy. Thank you for your professionalism, thoroughness, and the care you took with each and every student. I will be taking additional classes in the future."

- Mark D. 

 

9)“Fun seminar! Charity is delightful and makes the experience invigorating. I am more confident in my ability to escape or defend myself if needed. Thanks for a great day

10) "As the lead of a local church security team, it has been my pleasure to work with QUICK Tactical.  Mike has developed specific training for the team, that has raised our level of competancy and confidence, while addressing the unique situations and limitations that happen in church.  Not only has QUICK Tactical worked with our team, but they have reached out to the staff and volunteers for self defense training.  If your organization is looking for energetic, professional training, then I highly recommend QUICK Tactical."

-Chris B. Morgantown, WV, Church Safety and Security Team Lead

 

11) "Mike: As a member of a local church security team, the training I received from you and The Protect Team, has been a valuable resource to me. Prior to this training, I had limited experience with self defense and de - escalation training. I feel I'm better trained to be more alert in identifying a potential threat and taking the appropriate action necessary to control the situation.  The training on learning how to disarm someone with a knife and gun was very helpful. Experiencing the stress of being shot at with paint loaded bullets and scenario training showed me how I would react under extreme pressure. I would recommend you and The Protect Team to any individual or organization seeking training in self defense and security."        

- Ron M. 

 

12)"I trained with Mike Quick during my time in Fairbanks, Alaska when he was the Muay Thai Coach for Team Alaska Gladiator. Coach Quick has studied all types of Martial Arts since he was a child and this shows when he is teaching. He will bring all of his lethal knowledge to the mat. Mike Quick is also a  Marine Corps Veteran and he brings that strict professionalism and discipline into the training. If you want to learn how to be a Traditional or Modern Mixed Martial Artist you need to train under Mike Quick."

-  Michael B. W. 20 years of Martial Arts training, 2nd Degree Black Belt in Isshinryu Karate,

  U.S. Air Force Staff Sergeant, Military Training Instructor, San Antonio, TX

 

13) "When I signed up I was unsure of what to expect. Let me tell you that, I had a blast!  I did not anticipate it being such a fun & relaxing environment. At home my husband worked with me twice but he got so frustrated and I gave up. It was comforting knowing that there was a female instructor there for assistance."

- Talley S. 

 

14) "Quick Tactical Self-Defense is hands down the most complete Self-defense system in the Morgantown, WV area, if not the whole State. Classes are professional and whether the class type is private or by group, they are meticulously thought out and written down. The information being disseminated comes from a lifetime of martial arts experience and military background! He is able to teach Military combatives, Krav Maga, Muay Thai, Self-defense and firearms training. Unlike others in the area, this is his primary job, and his professionalism and knowledge are on display during every class! I highly recommend Quick Tactical to anyone in the area that wants to learn real life saving self defense!"

- Jon R. Morgantown, WV

 U.S. Navy Veteran, former Law Enforcement Officer and 8 years of Martial Arts experience

 

 

15)"Mike and I taught togther in Alaska at Team AK Gladiators for a couple of years. We instructed MMA for both amateur and professional fighters. Mike is one of the most serious minded Martial Artists I have ever met and had the privilege of training with. I couldn't recomend a better instructor/trainer if you are looking to break through as a fighter or are looking for serious Self-defense and Martial Arts training."

- Ken "Grinder" Young, Pro MMA Champion, Lubbock, TX

 

16)"Mike, I would like to thank you at Quick Tactical and the entire Protect team for the effort and professionalism that was put into our training. With very little experience in martial arts and self-defense, the skills and knowledge I gained during the training I feel were invaluable I my effort to help serve and protect our church family. I look forward to continuing to work with you through Quick Tactical to develop my skills and improve my ability to protect family, my church and myself."

Sincerely,

- Richard R.
