What others are saying about Virtus
I was recently fortunate to attend the Virtus Tactical Training, Arrest and Control Instructor course in Eagan, MN. To say that this course and the instructors where the best, is an understatement! I have been in the defensive tactics arena for 40 years and rarely have I seen the quality of lesson planning, teach backs, instructor knowledge and instructors considerations in the many courses I have attended over my year of service.
Any instructor who is looking at boosting their own level of competence as well as their defensive tactics knowledge base, really needs to explore this company!

It was a great course run at the perfect pace for those new and old instructors by trainers with vast experience in and out of law enforcement. The techniques were explained and demonstrated so that any person can understand and learn them no matter the experience level. Having taken multiple Use of Force courses in Law enforcement and during my career in the Marine Corps, I would recommend this course to not just Use of Force instructors but to any Officer wanting to have an edge over an aggressor. Thank you for the experience.

I’ve been through a handful of Virtus Tactical Training courses. I always have a lot to take away from the courses. Cullan has a unique teaching style that keeps kinesthetic learners like me engaged, and it doesn’t feel like death by power point. The presentations are filled with good anecdotes that translate well for the course. The instructors who work with Cullan are equally knowledgeable and engage with the class.
Not only are the courses that Virtus Tactical offers relevant to law enforcement, but they help one become a better instructor. They help newer instructors get comfortable with being uncomfortable with peer to peer teach backs. I highly recommend any of Virtus Tactical Training courses.
