What graduates of the Grey Man Academy are saying.

"I just completed the Grey Man Academy at Serenity Houses with American Reconstruction Concepts, and it delivers genuine life‑saving skills for real‑world worst‑case scenarios. We covered how to handle kidnapping and imprisonment—picking locks, breaking tape, and exploiting the weaknesses in restraints—and it was eye‑opening to see that what looks impossible becomes doable once you understand the foundations. The combatives block was simple, brutal, and effective; after just a few hours I felt noticeably more confident in handling a physical encounter and motivated to keep sharpening those skills."

"I just finished the Grey Man Academy at Serenity Houses, and it was phenomenal. Despite 15 years in the military, I’d never touched a handgun—British Army seniors don’t run pistols—so arriving with zero pistol experience and leaving feeling safe, confident, and capable on any range or in any situation was huge. The way the instructors broke the basics down—stance, grip, trigger control, and smooth draw—made everything simple and repeatable, including practical details like dropping to a knee to angle rounds safely above a crowd. Even better, I now know exactly where to improve and how to practice with dry drills. The results were immediate: my first draw was 5.68 seconds, and by the end it was 2.05 (and even 1.6 at short distance). I never felt awkward or unsafe, and learning about internal safeties and proper handling put me totally at ease."

"I just completed the Grey Man Academy—fantastic from the start. Even with a bit of background, most of it was new, practical information that built skills I can actually use in everyday life and on duty. The hostage prevention block stood out because it gave me solid knowledge I can pass to others; living in Spokane, where human trafficking flows through, that matters. Being able to share tools and tactics with people who might not otherwise have access is huge."

"We just finished the Grey Man Academy, and it was a unique, highly relevant experience with real-world, practical application—especially given the world today. The skills apply to anyone, anywhere. It was my first firearms class, and I wasn’t ready for it to be over; I want to come back again and again. Hostage prevention was a standout: hands-on escape and evasion, improvised tools, lockpicking, and timed challenges that let you choose your level of difficulty. It felt especially pertinent given current events, and it underscored how training like this can make a real difference. The combatives block highlighted the gap between traditional martial arts and life‑and‑death reality—no rules, fight dirty, eliminate training scars—and it delivered effective techniques that were new and memorable."

"We just finished the Grey Man Academy and are really glad we came—perfect timing for a mother–son trip before he heads to college. The balance of fun, learning, and just enough pressure was spot on: not stressful, not a breeze, real work with real takeaways. Hostage prevention was our favorite block—learning practical escapes from tape, cuffs, and zip ties, and actually getting to practice each one. It shifted our mindset from “I’d probably give up” to “I’m capable,” proving that with a little practice you can do far more than you think. The combatives segment made us noticeably more confident fast, coordinating strikes and reinforcing that mindset comes first—then tools, tactics, and skills."

"I was blown away from the moment I arrived—beautiful accommodations, picked up at the door, great breakfast—and then we got straight into training. The classroom portion gave me tons of actionable notes, but the hand-to-hand combatives changed everything. I’ve done some combat sports, but nothing this real or this brutal—in the best way. The idea that your first strike should end the altercation finally clicked, because I actually repped it on the mat. We trained for scenarios where you don’t have your gun, can’t see, or don’t have use of your hands—and I left feeling immensely more competent and, frankly, dangerous. In just one day, it went from theory to something I can truly do."
