The thing thay stands out to me about this studio is that Mr. Cornwell trained under some renowned people such as Guro Dan Inosanto (i.e. a close friend of Bruce Lee (disciple of Ip Man)). I will definitely be going back for more and highly recommend this studio for those who want to learn martial arts for practicality.

I really enjoyed the lecture portion of this class. The instructors were very easy-going and…read moreprovided information in a very practical manner. There were two instructors: one to discuss the legal aspects of being a gun owner and one to instruct in handling a firearm. Although they talked for hours, it did not seem like such a drag because they were very personable. Things started to go a little left when it came time to visit the range. I was aware that the range was at a separate location from reading a previous review. However, this was not clarified during the registration process or openly until well into the class lecture. Of course one can ASSume that the range is at a separate location based on the type of building that the class is held in. It is obvious that the range isn't on-site. Still they should inform the class well ahead of time in case someone may not be willing or able to travel to the range. The range that we used was in Royal Oak, although the instructors did not seem committed to using any particular range... When the time came to go to the gun range we all met up there only to find that the range was closed due to a power outage. Obviously this was not the fault of the instructors, but it probably could have been avoided had they made a call even if just to confirm that it was okay to bring a group at that particular time... So our class ended up dragging on into the following day. There were 3 of us in the class and the instructor did give us the option to finish up that same day, but at a range that was slightly farther away. We opted to return the following day to finish the range portion. So for the day of the range training we had been instructed to meet at the building where the class was held only to get there and wait for other class members to show up and then we drove to the range. I was confused as to why we didn't just meet up at the range. I was initially under the impression that we were meeting at the classroom building because there was something else that he needed to review before we went to the gun range... The overall experience was fair. It obviously could have been better had there not been issues with the range set-up. I did enjoy the presentation of the instructors. I at all times felt comfortable at the gun range. The instructors both seemed very experienced with the laws and handling firearms. I never once felt intimidated with handling the guns or to ask questions in the class. I feel that the issue with the range, although could have been avoided, was an isolated incident and it doesn't impact the knowledge base of the instructors. In addition to the basics of gun ownership and CPL/CCW they initiated thought-provoking scenarios and other considerations for general safety.

This is a center where they teach you how to avoid potentially lethal situations using your thinking and creatively diffusing threats. Yes, they can teach you how to defend yourself (expert advice from a seasoned professional, a former Army Special Operations officer). However, they go way beyond that by teaching you what is going on behind the scenes in the mind of a potential predator. Then they suggest peaceful, non-violent ways to overcome the danger. In my work as a professional speaker and business marketing coach, I travel extensively around the world. Sometimes I have to go to places that are not as safe and potentially dangerous. Because I'm going through commercial airlines and am not trained in the use of weapons I need to know how to out-think and avoid potentially dangerous situations BEFORE they happen. The techniques that Dale Brown taught me have helped me already to avoid potential problems in Mexico, Colombia, Greece, Australia, and other places. It is not just a nice idea to visit Dale Brown and his team of professionals at the Detroit Management Center, I would say it is a must-visit and must-participate experience that you will be glad you did. It literally could save your life in today's hostile world. You will be very glad you went, and for the very reasonable prices they have, it is a no-brainer! Learn how to avoid conflict and to diffuse dangerous situations before they occur. I highly recommend getting involved with what they are doing at the Detroit Threat Management Center. I can say without question that it could help to save your life. Terry Brock, Professional Speaker, Business Marketing Coach Orlando, Florida
