Why should you choose EZ Defense West Michigan as instructors for your training?

We understand the generally accepted norm and the desire to use your own personnel to instruct your tactical training. However, we would like to point out several, very good, reasons why outsourcing your training to us is a more practical approach:        

This training requires the use of a suit specifically designed for the class. These suits are somewhat custom in nature and will fit only individuals of identical sizes (height, weight, build, head size, etc.). By using us and our equipment you save this capital investment. 

The strenuous nature of teaching in the suit requires a high degree of fitness as well as specialized training. This saves countless training hours and hundreds of training dollars.  

Instructor training is counter productive to defensive tactic training as it is approached from the reverse angle. Why would you want an officer trained to be a “good” opponent and not a winner in a confrontation? Let us accept the role as losers.  

Injuries are somewhat common to the instructors. While typically not serious in nature, many of these injuries would hinder the officer in the performance of their regular duties. You save your people to do their job by letting us do ours. What would happen if your training instructor received an injury of a serious nature?  

The more experienced the instructor is in working in the suit the better able he is to provide the appropriate resistance and feedback. We teach often and are always practiced; this would be very hard for an instructor teaching only one, two or three times a year.
