Krav Maga is the most effective self-defense system. At Treadstone Defensive Tactics we will help you prepare physically, mentally, and tactically to quickly identify and respond to threats. The students and instructors in our community are supportive and helpful in a non-competitive environment. Our approach to Krav Maga is a fighters' approach.
Krav Maga On-site brings this world-renowned self defense system directly to you and your employees. Build team unity through exciting hands-on workshops. Give your traveling teams more confidence as they go overseas. Offer an exciting way to get in shape while learning practical skills.

It takes more than knowing Krav Maga or firearms to be a good instructor. At Treadstone Defensive Tactics, we focus on coaching both current and prospective instructors in the art of teaching. Not only do we have years of experience training Krav Maga and firearms instructors but we also go outside the field of defensive tactics to study all aspects of teaching.

In order to succeed you will become proficient in firearms manipulation, tactics, one man CQB, Krav Maga, and stress management.
The Firearms Manipulation and Tactics (FMT) division exists to provide continued training for those who responsibly carry firearms for the protection of themselves, their family, their community, and their country. Our Dynamic Engagements program is a one of a kind course that trains on a weekly basis.

I love this place and the people who teach!!! Roy's is super patient and takes time to critique what needs to be improved. Catherine also! Both of these ladies are highly skilled yet they have the sweetest dispositions. Going to the classes has added more confidence and control over my life Jeremy and Andy were the best at getting us signed up and it's the best money we have ever spent. I advise all to come who are looking for control, confidence, awareness, protection and safety this place will have you looking no further PROMISE!!!!

This is no-frills full training experience that will get you in shape (and the fitness combat classes do a GREAT job of that) with SUPER knowledgeable staff. Already a 5 star experience!

But Jeremy's kindness and patience and dedication to his craft is what made me need to review. Given the Delta variant surge, and the ability for vaccinated people to be carriers...I'm not in the best position to participate given my baby niece's immunocompromised status (who, as an infant, isn't vaccinated), and Jeremy worked with me to find a solution that helps me make sure my niece is safe

I love taking classes at Treadstone Defense Tactics! I was a bit nervous at first to do any form of self defense classes, but the instructors and community are very welcoming. I've definitely gained confidence in my ability to defend myself and it's a great workout!

If you are looking for high quality instruction and a great group of people, look no further, Treadstone is your home! I had never taken a martial arts or self defense class of any form previously and I was able to quickly integrate and learn with the way class is structured. There are people of all ages and experience level, both men and women.
Not only does it feel satisfying to learn and refine techniques that could save your life, but I have also gotten much stronger (it’s a good workout!). The community at Treadstone is also a bonus...the people are great and did I mention it’s also fun

My husband and I have recently joined Treadstone. We have been going to 2-3 classes a week. We love it! The classes have been challenging and each staff member has been great to work with and very knowledgeable about Krav Maga techniques. We highly recommend anyone to come and try a class. You will be hooked!

Excellent class. I’m 48. I wanted somewhere where I wouldn’t be judged. I wanted somewhere that would challenge me and help me grow.
This place has become that and so much more.
No one judges. Everyone one from the instructor to the students are very helpful. It’s a class that challenges you but at the same time has a way to go on your own pace /ability.
Highly recommend it.

I have been going here for a little over a year and have learned and improved everyday I‘ve attended. I would a hundred percent recommend this school to anyone of any skill level, weight, height, and or gender. This is a quality school with quality people running it and attending it. Going to this school has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.

So far I love it. I've only been coming here for about three weeks but everyone is so welcoming. No matter what stage you are at you are accepted into the family. You get what you put in. If you come in with a good attitude and work hard your going to have a blast and a really good workout, all while learning this art. Like anything it takes years to get good so don't expect to be an expert fast even though Jeremy is a great teacher!! Wish I found this a year ago when I moved to Charlotte.

I've taken Jeremy's Krav Maga and force-on-force firearms training classes for the past nine months, and find him to be an excellent instructor and practioner. He's able to explain complex subjects, and not only explains the "how" of the technique, but "more importantly why" and "when." He'll explain the strengths and weaknesses of a particular technique, and potential counters. In addition, when asked questions about Krav Maga versus other fighting styles, he never talks negatively about other styles in order to make Krav Maga appear in a better

I have known and trained with Jeremy Brown since 2007. He is an amazing teacher and practitioner of Krav Maga. He is extremely fast especially his kicks! We really miss him at the Krav Maga Institute in San Francisco . I learned so much from him. I am a deputy sheriff in the city and county of San Francisco.I do get into a lot of alterations, and the training I have received from him saved me more than a few times. He really knows what he is talking about when it come to real combat. We miss him so much. Our loss is your gain, so take advantage of what he has to offer. He has trained with best

Jeremy is such an amazing teacher, instructor, martial artist and overall a great person. I took on the first Krav Maga class earlier this year; after a brief consultation we went straight to training. Very hands on and challenging to say the least cause you're gonna sweat!. I've since gone a few more times and Jeremy will most certainly work with you as far as membership goes. I would highly recommend.

It's very rare to find someone with Jeremy's level of knowledge and experience. He's a great instructor that has patience with students and passion for what he does.
If you have the opportunity to train here whether it's for defensive tactics or fitness, I would highly recommend doing so. I've looked into many martial arts and MMA schools in the area and I've been super happy with Treadstone!

This place is great! The owner, Jeremy, really knows his stuff and makes everyone feel welcome. You'll be challenged in every class and see real results in cardio, strength and technique before long. If you're interested in Krav Maga, or self defense in general, I highly recommend giving Treadstone a try.

Two weeks or so in to Krav with Jeremy has been an experience; this is my first time doing anything like this and I was super hesitant to jump in. I shouldn't have been. It's intense, it's immersive, it's immediate - but even as a complete beginner, somehow he managed to help me slip into the flow. It's a positive environment that still doesn't seem to hold any (heh) punches.

Jeremy is a top class instructor. He's a very talented practitioner and instructor. He worked in SF California for many years where I trained with him many times. He's a very good person but tough as old nails. His knowledge and experience is unparalleled in Charlotte NC.

I trained with Jeremy for close to 5 years in San Francisco Krav Maga Institute (KMI). He has a huge following here and has been missed dearly since he moved to North Carolina.

Jeremy not only has excellent technique, but also a gift for teaching. He breaks techniques into easily digestible pieces, creates fun exercises and welcomes questions. He is one of the top Krav Maga experts in the world, so if you are serious about self-defense and want to learn from one of the best, take a class with Jeremy!

He is also an experienced firearms instructor and I found his firearms classes to be super

How good an instructor is Jeremy? Well, I signed up for an annual membership on the basis of a 1-hr trial class with him, and now more than 4 yrs later I am still at it. Next week I plan to fly 2,700 miles to train with him in his new location. Yes, that good. If you live within driving distance of TDT you owe it to yourself to exploit your proximity. I guarantee you won't regret it, whether you're looking for Krav Maga, functional fitness or defensive tactics involving firearms and other weapons.
