“Mr. Muckin has a unique combination of knowledge and skills that encompass advanced protective strategies and highly effective self-defense skills. Many folks know how to fight and fight well – but the real goal is not needing to fight when you are providing protection. Michael’s deep understanding of the adversary’s mindset and motives are evident and have proven effective time and time again.“

“Michael is a highly skilled martial arts instructor. He has a wide background, having trained in among other arts, Kali (Filipino martial arts) with Dan Inosanto, and Systema, under Martin Wheeler and Vladimir Vasiliev. He has trained under the absolute best in their fields, and it is reflected in Michael’s skill and knowledge.

Michael is an excellent teacher as well as practitioner”

“Michael has trained privately with me in Systema for over two years and has a broad background in other martial arts. His experience in military special operations and executive protection allowed him to immediately see the value of Systema. As a bodyguard, he directly applies Systema as part of his job, which gives him a unique perspective on the practical applications of Systema. I recommend training with Michael.”
