Real Reviews From Real People

Alon knows how to get right to the point, his unique teaching style eliminates any superfluous and peripheral moves.

Marty Kove Actor, Martial Artist (Karate Kid, Rambo 2, Mercenary)

The survival options taught by Alon Stivi are practical, common-sense approaches that can be learned by anyone. I highly recommend this program to school administrators and educators as part of their emergency planning and security upgrades.

Dr. Robert A. Reed Jr. Ed.D

This is as real as it can possibly be without being real. It should be mandatory training in every school district!

Officer Abby Boston Montrose Police Department

A lot of people can show you how to strike, cut, or blast another person. But instructors like Alon who can teach you how to think in combat are a rare breed.

Can I access my lessons on a mobile device such as the iPhone? Yes, the website and interactive lessons are fully mobile compatible. You can view them from any device.
How long is the ACT Cert / TAC course? It will take you between 2 to 4 hours to complete one entire course as it was intended. Each course includes approximately 2 hours of runtime video (watching instruction straight through without stopping), reading and studying the support material and taking the exam when applicable. You should be able to apply what you learn in the course immediately.
How easy is it to learn the techniques and tactics taught in the course? Alon Stivi personally teaches all the course material in an easy to understand, no-nonsense format. The more advanced close quarter combat moves are filmed from multiple camera angles allowing you to analyze each move in details. Practice safely.
How practical and useful are the moves taught in the ACT and TAC courses? The key points in each lesson are illustrated through live demonstration, action drills, and raw footage of incidents. The training scenarios are realistic and the reaction of the participants is unscripted. You will learn from actual situations and reality-based training. Not theory.
How can you teach the general public tactics taught to Special Forces and Tactical Units? The ACT and TAC training curriculum was developed from over thirty years of operations and teaching counterterrorism and unconventional security to military, law enforcement and professionals. Alon Stivi has developed a unique teaching methodology that “translates” advanced Tactics, Techniques & Procedures into common sense lessons that anyone can learn. The result is a unique curriculum that integrates the most effective practical solutions.
What are updates to the course and where can they be found? Updates are supplemental information that is added overtime to each course to reflect Lessons Learned from relevant case studies and incidents. This is material that was not available when the course was developed initially. You can access Updates in the Resources section of the lesson player and download PDF.
