The Training helped prepare me for Recruit School and now out here on the streets. The                                                                          techniques I learned from Mr. Traylor  was the core defense system at the training academy and it                                                            put me ahead of  much of the class. Stopping cars and dealing  with people can be stressful and                                                              dangerous, I feel much more confident having been trained to deal with this situations. I wish I  was                                                          stationed back in Houston to continue my training with you, I will miss it.
                                                        Thank you Mr. Traylor for everything!!

I have trained approximately 4 weeks. Being a Federal Corrections Officer for Federal Prison System I started to notice a more violent younger type offender began to saturate the system . I  decided to be proactive rather than a victim of assault which is becoming more prevalent in our  prisons . Training with Mr. Traylor has given me an edge I need to survive whether in prison or on the streets . From day one the course instruction being taught is understandable and easy to learn and I had no prior martial arts training .I recommend this system for anyone in any type of Law Enforcement. Also, my second profession as an area Realtor ,I encourage other Realtors to try this system out .If you are like me your property showings take you sometimes into the unknown and unfamiliar .Thank you !!

"I have been a Police Officer for over 20 years now and have had training from numerous Instructors in a variety of Martial Arts Defensive Tactics. Far and away the best training I have received to date is from Mr. Traylor. He is very knowledgeable and keeps his instruction lively and realistic. I have been a student of his for over 7 months now and I know what I learn from him will be of assistance to me on the streets. In fact, I have used it in the street (police work) and it is very practical."

To whom this may concern:

My name is Douglas Tatum I am currently still serving in the United States Army. I attended a course during the week of August 13, 2015. I am interested in getting certifications to get a PPO as well as Private Investigators certification. In class I had an instructor that stood out among the rest, his name was Mr. Traylor. The level he was instructing the class on the curriculum was at the level we teach in our Military format. He was very thorough with his examples of what he was teaching, hands on ability during demonstrations were exemplary. His knowledge of weapon systems handling and operations were spot on .He showed us demonstrations with individuals in the class so they understood what verbiage he was teaching as well as how it would look in real life situations.  I felt he was very confident in what he was teaching. I would like to come back and take more classes and receive training by Mr. Traylor. I want to add I have been thru over a hundred different training sessions with other instructors in my military career.  I really wanted to share this, because these kinds of individuals are very hard to come by that have been trained and certified at the highest level and he has accomplished a lot viewing his credentials and hands on skill set . I will be scheduling my next class with him to go forward to get my PPO certification.. Thanks again.

I am a well educated female in her 20's with a slim-medium build. 

It is with great pleasure that I get to sit here today with complete confidence in my personal safety. After having a negative encounter I realized that I needed to prepare myself for any situation that could potentially harm me or my loved ones. I searched on Google for a while. Being well versed in research I picked several candidates to choose from (after all this could mean life or death). 

The biggest problem I consistently came across was the lack of real world situations. By that, I mean a lot of places market karate and ninja style fighting. While that could be helpful I wanted a place where I could ask "If this would happen, what should I do?". 

This is when I found Dark Gift Combat. They believed in learning defense of real world situations. I spoke with the owner Mr. Traylor and learned that he actually trains Harris County Police Recruits, Security Officers and much more! I decided to give them a try. 

This is when I got the pleasure of meeting Mr. Traylor. he was extremely knowledgeable, very patient, and such a joy to be around! His positive attitude combined with his down to earth mindset made him the perfect trainer. 

To sum everything up, I would HIGHLY recommend to any man, woman, or child. They are responsible, knowledgeable, patient, positive and everything you need in Self Defense Training. I was blessed to come across these wonderful people!
