TESTIMONIALS

CEDRICK HINKLES

S.W.A.T. Operator

(11 years)

"As a member of one of the worlds most elite S.W.A.T. teams, I have had the great opportunity to have some of the best training and instructors in the world. Jon Burke of Next Level Combatives is hands down the best hand-to-hand combat training around. Jon's teaching style and expertise in firearms manipulation makes his course easy to apply to real life."

MIKE SEEKLANDER

Shooting-Performance Training Concepts

Former U.S. Marine,LE, & Federal Instructor

“I was once told that great instructors have a body of knowledge that surpasses their peers. Jon Burke has that body of knowledge, and in the combatives world he has 'been there done that'. Combine that with a relentless drive, and the ability to distill the fluff from the stuff and you get an instructor and program that is second to none.”

JACKIE SUTTLES

As a United States Marine veteran and law enforcement officer, I understand the need to serve and protect. Jon Burke's P4 program gave me the extra mental and physical knowledge to help keep my family and the public safe.”
