Martial Arts Is Where
The Journey Begins.

I had an absolutely phenomenal time during my short session with Sifu Alan. From discussing insights of the arts to the finer aspects of protection and defense, Sifu Alan has created an atmosphere that encourages learning and enrichment for everyone.

Alan is a wealth of knowledge across a wide range of training areas. I’ve been in many Keysi instructor camps with him since 2021, and have also had the privilege sampling one of his C-Tac sessions. He always has a great attitude and works hard to make sure everyone has a good experience and gets access to what they need for improvement. Super helpful and available for those of us training under him. Highly recommend.

I’ve had the honor of having worked with Sifu Alan Baker in several capacities for roughly the past 10 years; training and learning Martial Arts directly from him, serving along side of him on two international Martial Arts organizational boards and having him personally advise me in business and personal development. During that time, he has boiled down and expanded on many of the life enhancing perspectives that I have learned through martial arts, military training, and life experience. I haven’t met a more diversely knowledgeable martial artist across several disciplines in my entire 40 years of martial arts and military training that is more professionally dedicated to studying, learning, employing and sharing his Martial Arts proficiency. I have witnessed him coaching others through his perspective as a positive source that shares the knowledge of battle without the life-threatening consequences of attending the warrior’s alma mater of combat. Sifu Baker’s extraction of the lessons of a warrior’s quest through his own unique journey provides a map through the hazardous minefield of true warrior education. True wisdom has the insight to learn from others, especially in an arena where mistakes can be deadly. Learning form him allows individuals to enjoy the reward with far less risk. An old soldier’s purpose is to teach young soldiers how to become successful OLD soldiers. The lessons Alan shares on and off the mat are part of a study guide to that end. – MSG (Retired) Randy McElwee, US ARMY SPECIAL FORCES

Highest possible recommendation!!! Highest quality instruction on the market. Sifu Alan Baker is the real deal.

I have had the privilege of knowing and training with Sifu Alan Baker over the past 10 years; he is, by far, the most knowledgeable and talented individual I have worked with when it comes to specialized martial arts and tactics that exclusively focuses on executive protection/law enforcement and is THE premier subject matter expert. He is someone who applies and tests tactics and principles in real world environments. Alan encourages his students to think about the problems they may encounter and gives suggestions from his experience; he is not someone who says there is only one way to accomplish a task. His classes are packed with knowledge, but take a pace that is easy to follow and he will not leave a student behind if they have trouble understanding the material.

I have known Sifu Alan Baker for several years and I have always been impressed with his knowledge, discipline, and dedication to his students and clients. He possesses a vast knowledge from his many years of study of multiple martial arts as well as multiple weapons including traditional martial arts weapons as well as modern knives and firearms. He is also a successful professional bodyguard and teacher of Executive Protection, and his has created courses for civilians and others. Due to his focus and commitment to all endeavors related to his passion and teaching, it is no wonder that he is also a successful businessman in his various areas that are of great benefit to his students and attendees across the U.S. What is also refreshing is that he brings quiet confidence tempered by humility and openness to entertain questions and curiosity shown by his students and others. I also have to say that I appreciate the fact that he motivates me to continually question and progress forward in the martial arts, self-defense related issues, and life in general. I have deep respect for Sifu Alan Baker and I am better for having met him.

I've been training with Sifu Alan for over 20 years. I've trained with him in just about every system and topic that's ever been offered at the school. The amount of knowledge he has is incredible. One of the many things that, for me, sets him apart is that he never stops seeking new material to to learn and bring back to us. The epitome of a life long learner. Not only have I had the honor of training with him for two decades but also to be one of his assistant instructors. Because of him, I have not only become a better martial artist but a better instructor. He truly pours into his instructors to see us become better and increase our ability to pour into others. I believe seeing us be successful is as important to him as his own success goals. That is a rare trait. I look forward to continued years of training, mentorship and friendship with Sifu Alan .

Outstanding!!!! We called Alan because our kids were wanting personalized self defense training and he set up a private session for us and came to our location.
