Sifu Alan Baker is (in my opinion) the best MMA instructor in the Nation. His knowledge and expertise are self explanatory, but his technique, delivery when teaching, and easy going demeanor allow for his sense of humor and ease of movement to translate to any learning style, and from any level beginner to expert. Working with him has been very pleasant, professional, and enlightening because it’s helped me develop a wider skill set in my occupation and my own personal safety. As a female, a wife, mother, entrepreneur having confidence to handle a situation and adapt to it in a calm and steady manner is important. If you want to be the best, you train and surround yourself with the best. Sifu is the BEST in the business and that’s why he’s sought after by top companies to develop their programs and protect their top leaders. Highly recommend him, not only for his knowledge, but most importantly his character and humility.

Sifu Alan Baker is an amazing mentor, a master of martial movement and  combative behavior. His ability to deliver concise instruction, explanation, correction, and theory on how to perceive, train, and act, in regard to the potential chaos of sudden threat of violence is unrivaled. I appreciate his willingness to share his lifetime of study with anyone who has the discipline to seek, learn and commit. If you ever get the chance to train with him, do not miss that opportunity!

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 .

I’ve had the privilege of knowing Sifu Alan Baker for over 20 years, and he has been a transformative influence in my life. As my martial arts instructor, he guided me through multiple disciplines, including Jeet Kune Do, Filipino Kali, Silat, Kung Fu, Qi Gong, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. His depth of knowledge is remarkable, but what truly sets him apart is his ability to teach in a way that resonates on both a technical and personal level.

Under Sifu Alan’s mentorship, I not only became one of his instructors but also developed my own teaching ability and style. He has an incredible gift for identifying what a student needs to succeed and tailoring his guidance to meet those needs. He doesn’t just follow a set path; he understands the origins of the path and how to forge new ones, empowering his students to do the same.

Now, as my business mentor, Sifu Alan has continued to elevate my thinking—not just in martial arts and self-defense, but also in personal development and business. His passion, creativity, and unique approach to problem-solving have been invaluable to my growth.

If you’re looking for an instructor or mentor who is dedicated, insightful, and genuinely invested in your success, I cannot recommend Sifu Alan Baker highly enough.

Besides being an extraordinary martial artist with black belts and mastery in numerous different disciplines, Alan is a kind and humble individual. He is an accomplished author with several books, and he has a in-depth understanding of multiple past time skills such as repelling and diving. As the creator of  EPI's Protection Response Tactics (PRT), he has produced the only defensive tactics for executive protection (DT4EP) system bar none. There is no other system like it. He is the ultimate defensive tactics professor!

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.

He uses a life 360 approach when coaching his clients, therefore nothing is left untouched. Sifu breaks his teachings down in easily digestible and implementable steps. He is always there when his clients need him and makes himself available whenever anything comes up. He is genuine and truly cares about his clients, their companies as well as their happiness.
