Ronnie H. Holt, Captain (Retired), Tarpon Springs Police Department
Dennis Fivecoat is an outstanding, professional and knowledgeable instructor. I have been through firearms training through the States of Illinois, Missouri and Texas. As the saying goes, "you don't know how much you don't know." He is very organized in his teachings and class structure. He also adapts to the student he is teaching whether it is a stay-at-home-mom or a seasoned soldier. If you want to learn about firearms the right way or take your skills to the next level then Dennis Fivecoat is the mentor you are looking for!
Thomas Howanic, Chief Instructor of Patriot Martial Arts of Universal City, Texas
Dennis Fivecoat taught me more about weapons safety, proper handling and basic fundamentals in two hours than I learned in six years in the Air Force. I never knew how much I had to learn. He has a vast amount of knowledge and experience with tactical medicine (TC3). He helped to organize some of the most intense training sessions I have ever participated in. In one scenario, we were retrieving a casualty, being shot at and actually got to package and load the patient onto a helicopter. His training is never boring.
TSgt Vincent Girolami, US Air Force
One of the things that I have always admired and respected about you as a trainer is that you always go the extra mile, you do your research, and you have a way of connecting with the audience though your training.
Detective Rick Breeden, Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department
I have had the pleasure of knowing Dennis Fivecoat for more than 5 years. In my position as the Chairman of the Nevada Commission on Homeland Security, I have been briefed, and seen several presentations made by then Major Fivecoat. His presentations and lectures were excellent!

I found Dennis to be very knowledgeable. As a fellow trainer myself, I can only hope my students leave with the same sense of gain I had after attending one of Dennis's classes.
Officer/Instructor Don CrowleyWinona (Missouri) Police Department
I have personally attended several of his offerings and have found them all to be well done. he is meticulous, knowledgeable, and professional in his teachings. He is also one of the most personable individuals with whom I have had the honor of working.
John Hammond,Southern Nevada Health District
Taught a boring topic in a unique way that kept all students engaged and interested the entire time.
Jim Mitchel,Former USAF Pararescue and Former SWAT officer
I have known Dennis and trained with him for 9 years. We have trained in firearms, defensive tactics and martial arts (we even earned our 1st degree black belt in Ketsugo Ryu Jiujitsu together). Dennis is very knowledgeable and a great instructor. I would highly recommend this training firm to anyone. All the programs are great.
Ronnie M.,Retired DHS Supervisory Special Agent
As the Operations Manager for an armed security company in San Antonio, there is no better training than with Dennis. There is also noticeable work ethic differences between the guards that have gone through his classes vs any other program in the city. Excellent instruction, outstanding communication, and will go out of his way to assist companies and employees.
