This is no-frills full training experience that will get you in shape (and the fitness combat classes do a GREAT job of that) with SUPER knowledgeable staff. Already a 5 star experience! But Jeremy's kindness and patience and dedication to his craft is what made me need to review. Given the Delta variant surge, and the ability for vaccinated people to be carriers...I'm not in the best position to participate given my baby niece's immunocompromised status (who, as an infant, isn't vaccinated), and Jeremy worked with me to find a solution that helps me make sure my niece is safe and looked after, but making sure I knew the door stayed open for my own training. God bless TDT and their staff, and their members who go out of their way to motivate and encourage. If you need a gym routine that shakes up the old and in an exciting way, get on the mat and have some fun!!!! I personally can't wait to go back . read more

These guys run a great class The concentration is on pragmatic self defense in everyday situations. For adults, this is what you need. The first 15 mins or so of the class is fitness. Getting the blood pumping. The rest is technique. You will learn a lot of great stuff to use should you have to. Takes a while to get used to especially if you've never done it before, but you leave each class feeling exhilarated and more confident. Classes are offered 4x a week but you can set your own schedule so there is plenty of flexibility. Give it a shot read more

I love this place and the people who teach!!! Roy's is super patient and takes time to critique what needs to be improved. Catherine also! Both of these ladies are highly skilled yet they have the sweetest dispositions. Going to the classes has added more confidence and control over my life Jeremy and Andy were the best at getting us signed up and it's the best money we have ever spent. I advise all to come who are looking for control, confidence, awareness, protection and safety this place will have you looking no further PROMISE!!!! read more

I've trained different martial arts since I was a kid (Dad was a Judoka, older brother is a Black Belt in Karate Shindo Jinen Ryu), Krav Maga is the most practical and effective self defense system for real life situations that I've practiced. I started training under Jeremy since 2012 ( I'm currently Graduate level, certified Krav Maga Instructor, with several firearms, ITPS and Dynamic Engagements courses with Jeremy) and there's not enough words to describe how amazing experience it has been. He's so knowledgeable, passioned, dedicated, skilled, professional, patient, creative, always in the search to improve and evolve, prepared, organized and above all he is a Honorable Man. read more

Treadstone Defensive Tactics - Ouch! - Firearm Training Near Me - Fort Mill, South Carolina

So far I love it. I've only been coming here for about three weeks but everyone is so welcoming. No matter what stage you are at you are accepted into the family. You get what you put in. If you come in with a good attitude and work hard your going to have a blast and a really good workout, all while learning this art. Like anything it takes years to get good so don't expect to be an expert fast even though Jeremy is a great teacher!! Wish I found this a year ago when I moved to Charlotte. read more

I started training at Treadstone when I moved to Charlotte in 2018 and love it. Jeremy is a great coach and instructor, he takes the time to explain why we do each drill and makes sure you are doing it correctly. It's all useful, real world scenarios. The classes are diverse in terms of age, sex, ability, ect. I'd recommend to anyone who wants to learn how to protect yourself and others. read more

Just came back from Treadstone. I had a great time and I met some great people. I will most definitely be back.

This place is great! The owner, Jeremy, really knows his stuff and makes everyone feel welcome. You'll be challenged in every class and see real results in cardio, strength and technique before long. If you're interested in Krav Maga, or self defense in general, I highly recommend giving Treadstone a try. read more

Jeremy is such an amazing teacher, instructor, martial artist and overall a great person. I took on the first Krav Maga class earlier this year; after a brief consultation we went straight to training. Very hands on and challenging to say the least cause you're gonna sweat!. I've since gone a few more times and Jeremy will most certainly work with you as far as membership goes. I would highly recommend. read more

Two weeks or so in to Krav with Jeremy has been an experience; this is my first time doing anything like this and I was super hesitant to jump in. I shouldn't have been. It's intense, it's immersive, it's immediate - but even as a complete beginner, somehow he managed to help me slip into the flow. It's a positive environment that still doesn't seem to hold any (heh) punches. read more

I have known and trained with Jeremy Brown since 2007. He is an amazing teacher and practitioner of Krav Maga. He is extremely fast especially his kicks! We really miss him at the Krav Maga Institute in San Francisco . I learned so much from him. I am a deputy sheriff in the city and county of San Francisco.I do get into a lot of alterations, and the training I have received from him saved me more than a few times. He really knows what he is talking about when it come to real combat. We miss him so much. Our loss is your gain, so take advantage of what he has to offer. He has trained with best Krav Maga practitioners out there. Kida ( Hebrew word for bow ) - Doug Handa- read more

If you're looking for a place to begin your martial arts or combat training, look no further because you've discovered a gem. Jeremy is as good as it gets: nobody I know has put more time, effort, and care into mastering their martial form and translating what they know to their students. Jeremy ran the Krav Maga gym that I attend in San Francisco for years. Ask any student of his and they'll tell you the same thing: enrolling in his gym is one of the best decisions they've ever made. read more

You're not going to find a higher quality of training. Whether you want self defense, weapons training or fitness, this is the only place to go. I've trained in multiple martial arts in various countries, and Jeremy's level of knowledge, experience and ability to teach is unmatched. This is an ego free environment, as comfortable for complete novices as for experienced practitioners. This is an environment to learn, build a community and have fun! You will constantly be pushed and inspired. The diversity and the creativity of the classes means you'll never be bored, and knowing that every minute is building to something bigger means you'll feel that your work is purposeful. read more

I trained with Jeremy for several years when he was in California--hands down one of the best instructors I've come across. My favorite part of any session with Jeremy is that you know you won't be bored. You will work hard and push yourself through varied and inventive workouts. Yes, he's a big guy and there can be power behind that...but he has an insane level of fluidity, finesse and technique that makes his teaching approachable for anyone. I really appreciate the individualized learning approach he takes, ensuring there's a common understanding then spending time with the people that need a little extra. I split my time between San Francisco and Charlotte, and I've been to a different Krav school in Charlotte. Let's just say, I can't wait for Jeremy's sessions in Charlotte to begin! read more

Jeremy is a top class instructor. He's a very talented practitioner and instructor. He worked in SF California for many years where I trained with him many times. He's a very good person but tough as old nails. His knowledge and experience is unparalleled in Charlotte NC. read more

I just started at Treadstone and so far it's awesome! It's very rare to find someone with Jeremy's level of knowledge and experience. He's a great instructor that has patience with students and passion for what he does. If you have the opportunity to train here whether it's for defensive tactics or fitness, I would highly recommend doing so. read more

Jeremy's Krav Maga and self-defense instruction is second-to-none. Jeremy is a terrific communicator and demonstrator, plus he's committed to the idea of safely training. I trained with him for four years and am very happy with the lasting results. read more

I trained with Jeremy for close to 5 years in San Francisco Krav Maga Institute (KMI). He has a huge following here and has been missed dearly since he moved to North Carolina. Jeremy not only has excellent technique, but also a gift for teaching. He breaks techniques into easily digestible pieces, creates fun exercises and welcomes questions. He is one of the top Krav Maga experts in the world, so if you are serious about self-defense and want to learn from one of the best, take a class with Jeremy! He is also an experienced firearms instructor and I found his firearms classes to be super helpful, especially for a total firearms newbie. read more

Very impressed with Jeremy the owner and lead instructor. I have trained multiple disciplines, and I am regularly surprised and challenged by the methodology and practicality of this training. Also, the other students are great. Serious training in a fun atmosphere!! read more

I've taken Jeremy's Krav Maga and force-on-force firearms training classes for the past nine months, and find him to be an excellent instructor and practioner. He's able to explain complex subjects, and not only explains the "how" of the technique, but "more importantly why" and "when." He'll explain the strengths and weaknesses of a particular technique, and potential counters. In addition, when asked questions about Krav Maga versus other fighting styles, he never talks negatively about other styles in order to make Krav Maga appear in a better light - he'll talk about the positives of the other style, and the differences between the two. He pushes students outside of their comfort zone while still maintain and fun and controlled environment. For anyone looking for a class that is both physically challenging while teaching usable skills should consider giving Treadstone a try. read more

I started training Krav Maga under Jeremy in 2014 when I signed up for a trial class and since then, I have become addicted to Krav and achieved the P5 practitioner level, practicing in the Krav Maga Institute (KMI) in CA, as a VIP member. I highly recommend Jeremy as a trainer both in combat and firearms. He not only taught me Krav Maga techniques and how to use firearms but also took me under his wing and helped me become an Assistant Instructor through his Instructor Development Program (IDP) course. Moreover, he encouraged me to become a NRA Certified Pistol instructor, which I did in 2016, and a Certified Krav Maga Instructor, which I am going to do in 2017. His leadership and coaching ability is world class and anyone is lucky to take his classes. You will leave feeling confident that you can protect yourself and your family. We all miss Jeremy a lot here in CA, and I can't wait for his sessions in the nearest future whenever it happens. read more

How good an instructor is Jeremy? Well, I signed up for an annual membership on the basis of a 1-hr trial class with him, and now more than 4 yrs later I am still at it. Next week I plan to fly 2,700 miles to train with him in his new location. Yes, that good. If you live within driving distance of TDT you owe it to yourself to exploit your proximity. I guarantee you won't regret it, whether you're looking for Krav Maga, functional fitness or defensive tactics involving firearms and other weapons. read more

First impressions.... I was very skeptical (in my nature) as the facility was comparable to renting a small corner of a warehouse/ workshop with very little to work with, I almost walked away. Honestly however I wasn't there to for the aesthetics and figured I'd give it a shot, glad I did. From the moment I got there all the drills we went through were practical and just made sense. After a technique was demonstrated the instructor explained why the method is used and why it works. The techniques used all appear to have real world applications. The instructor Jeremy did not disappoint and the other class members were very welcoming and seemed like good ppl (Kevin sorry for the choke hold). All in all my first experience while skeptical at first was great and I will be joining. Future post to come on overall experience. read more
