Michael Duffy

Ever since I was young I played every sport and have always had a passion for fitness. The philosophy I like to follow is a combination of less is more and push it till the point of breaking. I enjoy training a variety of clients. Clients that include seniors that want to increase mobility and brain function to the athlete that may have a sport specific need. Teaching people how to move more efficiently creates confidence and changes their emotional states which creates a more fruitful life. 

As a coach, establishing personal relationships with clients has always been a been enjoyable for me. Creating a solid foundation of trust and follow through, the art of communication and giving them the information needed to perform better in everyday life or as an athlete is something I am very comfortable with. 

I specialize in combining personal defense, health, and fitness with weapons and firearms training to provide each student with the skills and confidence to safely escape an unavoidable threat. My core belief is everyone has the ability, right and responsibility to protect themselves.

I am a martial artists of 30 years. I have acquired instructorships and am ranked under some of the best martial artists of our time and in some of the most effective arts given to us today. My job as a modern day Martial Artist is to help you find your way and to give tools to be successful in any given situation. 

I started training with the gun in 2006. I have had the opportunity to work for, be trained by, and train with Military Operators, LEO, and competitive shooters.

Passionate, driven, charismatic, and personable, I am capable of establishing solid business and interpersonal relationships leaving the client, and or student, with a positive experience and believe the positive relationships built with team members, customers, and clients are crucial for any business to grow and succeed.

I went to college at Metro State University for Psychology, Sociology, Anthropology.
