DON’T LEAVE YOUR JUDGEMENT UNDER STRESS TO CHANCE, GAIN THE CONFIDENCE IN YOUR SKILLS TO PERFORM UNDER PRESSURE
Living in uncertain times means it is more important than ever to be prepared to make good, quick decisions under pressure. It is all of our responsibilities to to be ready if and when that happens. On the job, at home, or out and about in public, being cognizant and having a clear mindset is as important as anything we train on the range. Decisions made out of fear, emotion, and panic ultimately lead to bad outcomes. Reality Based Training (RBT), getting off the flat range, and training in mission specific scenarios that simulate real world altercations will give you the tools to make informed decisions in real time.
The Team
Tacflow Academy is lead by Rigo Durazo and Mark Lang, two of the original members of the Craft International training team. They are in charge of recruiting and mentoring new instructors and curriculum developers.
Rigo and Mark are dedicated to making sure the entire Tacflow Team is made up of like minded teachers who are passionate about teaching, willing to share their knowledge and learned experiences, and obsessed about helping you be the best protector you can be.
Our goal is not to show you how high speed we are, but rather to coach you and help you develop the knowledge and skills to build your confidence to effectively perform under pressure.
Our History with Craft International
In 2009 Tacflow Academy partnered with Craft International, LLC as their exclusive close quarter combat provider. We were devastated when Chris passed and Craft International was forced to shut down. Determined to honor Chris’s memory and continue our shared mission, the Craft International Training Team chose to stay together.
With the blessing of the Kyle Family, we joined our Close Quarter Program with Craft International’s Sniper Program under the Tacflow Academy umbrella. Since then, several of the instructors have gone into other business ventures outside of training, but we remain close friends and supporters. We are proud of our history, and strive to honor our roots as members of the original Craft International training team.
We hold our continued friendship with the Kyle Family very dear, and we encourage everyone to visit AMERICANVALORFOUNDATION.ORG, the foundation they built to continue Chris’s work supporting military, veterans, and first responders.
