TESTIMONIALS

“Fighting systems and Martial Arts training are becoming progressively sanitized. The reality of violence carries a particular depth of physical and mental brutality. Sadly, most students currently training in any system are left startlingly unprepared for this reality. Whether you are a student or an instructor, you can fix this. Training with Terry Trahan is an effective option for this fix.
Terry’s instruction is laced with raw honesty and an individual committment to each student. From my newest practitioner to my most seasoned instructor, Terry’s time at Kore Krav Maga had a powerful and positive impact. Two days later, students and instructors alike were already asking when he would be back.
If you are looking for a Disney World approach to self-defense training, look elsewhere. If you care about yourself (or your students if you are an instructor), training with Terry should move to the top of your priority list.”

“Terry Trahan is not your average martial artist. He is also not your average streetwise fighter/violence professional.
He combines a deep love for functional martial arts along with a long history of using violence. As a result of his extensive and varied background as a violence professional, Terry has a viewpoint on violence unmatched by most other instructors.
Terry also has a deep intellectual side. He considers creativity to be one of the most important aspects of conflict management. His study of violence encompasses all areas, not only the physical aspects. And finally Terry has a passion for teaching others what he has leaned along the way.
Along with his other ventures, Terry is a highly valued Board Member of Conflict Research Group Intl.”

“Terry Trahan, who personifies combat as weasel-craft. The thinking man’s bad ass. Martially a silat player. Professionally, at one point he was the highest-paid and most sought-after bouncer in the Mountain States, and designed knives (among other duties) for a major blade company. I like and respect him, for experience, knowledge and physical skills. He’s both a true friend and an Honorable Enemy. He will tell me if he thinks I’m wrong– and I will listen.”
