The REAL DEAL

Mr. Traylor's approach to training in defensive tactics, particularly through A.T.I. (Apex Tactical Institute) and Dark Gift Combat (D.G.C.), stands out due to his extensive real-world experience and hands-on teaching style. This is in contrast to other instructors who may lack direct experience in high-stress environments such as law enforcement, military operations, or special operation teams.

The credibility of Mr. Traylor's instruction is bolstered by his documented interactions with officers, military personnel, and special operations teams in instructional settings. His ability to effectively impart knowledge and skills to these professionals underscores his practical expertise and the trust placed in his methods.

In contrast, some instructors have primarily demonstrated techniques without actively engaging in teaching or training roles or even having real world experience in that particular discipline. This can limit the authenticity and applicability of their instruction, as they have not the depth of understanding gained from real-world application.

Mr. Traylor's influence is evident in the respect and emulation he garners within the Law Enforcement and Security training community. His methods and teachings are not merely copied but are sought after and imitated due to their effectiveness and relevance in preparing individuals for real-world challenges. I personally know this to be true, as I have trained with Mr.Traylor off and on since 2004 and it is now 2024. I have looked into other instructors and some supposably have more certification in these disciplines like counter terrorism and have patches in active shooter..etc......but no real world experience!!!!

In summary, Mr. Traylor and his organizations, A.T.I. and D.G.C., distinguish themselves through his firsthand experience, active teaching approach, and the endorsement of professionals in law enforcement, Security and military sectors. This sets him apart from instructors whose training may lack the practical foundation necessary for preparing individuals for high-stakes environments. Lt. Garcia Tactical Team Leader
