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 have known Sifu for over 20 years and what many claim to be, what I wish I could be, he is.  He embodies the true martial artist.  His knowledge is broad, extensive and practical for each of the different arts he has mastered over the years whether in weapons, conditioning or mental. I have had the privilege of being taught many things by Sifu over the years, both martial arts and personal wisdom. Whether it is Kali, Jeet Kune Do, Qi Gong, Kung Fu or Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Sifu has always shown me that I am more capable than I thought.  He has led me on a remarkable martial arts journey, both as a mentor and as a friend.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Each of his martial arts and self protection programs I have trained in have elevated not only my technical skills, but also my business and coaching abilities. I highly recommend you connect with Sifu Alan and his team.

Alan is a unique coach not just having an extensive background in many martial arts and training with so many amazing martial artists; but, he provides coaching and speaking in addition to teaching many martial arts.  Additionally, he has his own approach to teaching just self-defense or reality based self-defense.  This separates his teachings from the ring and the street allowing people to learn how to defend themselves!

Sifu Alan Baker is a wonderful instructor, I don't care if you are taking martial arts classes from him at his school or doing training in defensive tactics at a law enforcement or other training facility; Alan is simply the best around. I have attended several of his sessions over the years, both public and private, and the depth of his knowledge is unparalleled!  In my training in all things, I am a firm believer in trying to learn from those who are as close to the source as possible, and you can not go wrong with Alan. If you want more information, check out his website for a list of more accomplishments and so many excellent training partners!
