About 360 Defense

Founder: Daniel Spychalski

Daniel Spychalski – Founder, 360 Gun Grappling System

A 25-year law enforcement veteran, who has dedicated his career to training and proficiency in firearms, ballistic shields and defensive tactics.  With a lifelong career of martial arts (+MMA), striking, grappling, weapon arts, he is a highly sought-after trainer for real-world tactical skills.


Daniel serves as a police academy instructor, delivering state-certified curriculum in Illinois. He is a certified instructor of Paul Castle’s C.A.R. system through Jeff Johnsgaard, MTAC CQB Instructor and more.     


360 Gun Grappling has evolved by combining grappling arts with foundations in the Center Axis Relock System.  To that end, Daniel has transformed how professionals and civilians approach weapon retention, gun grappling, and high-stakes shooting scenarios.


Beyond training, Daniel is committed to equipping warriors—law enforcement and military personnel—with cutting-edge tools and training. His current role as Vice President of Engineering R&D at Baker Ballistics (bakerballistics.com), has led to numerous patented products used by the U.S. Military and trained Federal Law Enforcement SWAT teams.

 

As a proponent of the 2nd amendment, Daniel has many years experience training responsible citizens—with the skills they need to survive, dominate, and prevail in life-or-death situations.  

When the fight is unavoidable, control is everything.

Testimonials

(Ret) Police Chief Shawn Beane

Dan is an incredible instructor, very knowledgeable and extremely patient. I recommend any class he teaches to be well worth the price of admission. A gentleman and scholar. 

Dr. Stuart Hui

 I've trained with Dan before and had a great experience with being exposed to and practicing tactical scenarios that are useful for preparing for encounters. 

Teresa

 Had a great 3 month training experience with 360!  Instructor Dan offered calm and careful direction, providing increased challenges along the way, ultimately helping me get confident with my own firearm purchase. Overall rewarding and fun!  …..Teresa 

D. Brown

 The knowledge and skills that I have learned from my classes makes me  feel much more confident in my self protection skill set.
Practicing to shoot accurately while moving isn't one of the skills people think about. Buy once you learn "movement is life" its makes you want to practice more mad more. I look forward to future training classes with Dan! 

Frank S.

Throughout the instruction, Dan has a wonderful attention to the little details as we train.  He provides easy to understand, positive input to improve and hone student technique.  Minutedetails for example, in grip, posture, procedures, along with theapplications of what, when, why, where and how we use these techniques creates an abundance of easy to learn, useful knowledge that is hard to beat.  He also has a very practical way of connecting the big pieces of puzzle, as we tie techniques and scenarios together into one. I enjoy every class I attend with Dan, gaining quality experiences that will not only last a lifetime, but is well delivered, easy to retain, and simple to stay current with. Frank S.

KTMI


 Dan is calm, clear and competent. Exactly what I was looking for in an instructor.  I have just started my training with him and I am excited about learning from an experienced teacher. He has a methodology and progression to his teaching while remaining flexible to match his students interests and abilities. Highly recommended! 

Jermayne

360 GGS has really provided me with a sense of awareness like no other. I have a newfound confidence in which I can handle my weapon while transitioning into positions, while under duress, and still providing an accurate shot.
