"Mac is one of the most knowledgeable instructors in the field; an absolute pleasure. I especially like all the instructors taking time to really explain subject matter."
John Water, Pinkerton Ant (former 5th Special Forces); Armed Course Student
“The best instructor I’ve had for any type of training. His real life experiences in the stuff he’s teaching makes it that much more effective and unquestionable. What was taught… was above and beyond others. Four thumbs up!”

"[Instructors were] very good...very knowledgeable [and] kept lessons relevant and interesting; helped students build confidence."
Mike See, Metro Watch patrolman and retired LVPD
"[Instructor was] calm and knowledgeable, [he] clearly expressed training and had tons of insight to aid in training... Great hands on knowledge... in teaching [movement], and tactics."
Adam Miller, US DoL Security Contractor
"Fantastic group of coaches. Very experienced and friendly, and they do what they promise they'll do! Couldn't ask for a better training school. McKnight is very experienced in what he teaches, explains well, teaching style is on-point. He's a respectable person [whom I] would highly recommend. Yoda is very experienced [and] teaches very well. Wilson is an experienced coach, teaching style is spot on."
Casey Weeks, Pacific River Security, Armed Course
"Knight School, LLC has many years of combined experience instructing tactical force on force close protection and security operations in austere high-threat environments...They have established themselves as one of the premiere training programs nation-wide. Their instructors are former law enforcement and prior military service veterans with real-world experience in security operations, executive protection, high threat assessments and training. Knight School, LLC places emphasis on developing intuitive defensive skills that will allow the student to recognize and respond to threats in order to successfully survive life threatening situations ranging from active shooters to other deliberate attacks. I have personally known Mac for quite some time and worked with him previously in Baghdad, Iraq, I can personally attest, he is one of the best instructors around...In the past, having been a student of WPPS and other hostile threat courses, I have learned more collectively from Mac on the job then most other training courses combined...As an instructor, Mac focuses primarily on providing participants with the knowledge, skill, and ability to meet the challenges they are likely to face in specific situations or uncontrolled environments, while performing security operations."
