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.
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.
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
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!
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.
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!
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.
The 360 Gun Grappling System as taught by Daniel Spychalski is a "must have" skill set for law enforcement officers, executive protection agents, or anyone who needs an easy-to-understand weapon retention system.
The solid basics lead to multiple applications from a "grounded" or "downed" position, without the prerequisite of a formal "grappling" martial art.
As a long-time DT instructor and even longer time martial artist, I find the 360 GGS an essential tool for the toolbox.

His course on Reality Based Training is the best we have ever seen and his methods have been proven to work for almost three decades.
