Lt. Dillon “K.D.” was on the board of advisors for my book, On Combat, and I have been a fan of his work for years. He is funny, entertaining, and incredibly informative, another Gordon Graham. “The training conducted by L.t. “K.D.” Dillon will inform and motivate the student. I cannot over emphasize the way he works on developing the mind, body and WARRIOR SPIRIT of the student,
like no one else and nothing else that I know of. Honest. Now he is breaking out on the national scene, and this is a 'can't miss it' opportunity.”

I had the p leas ure of attending a seminar on L.O.C.K.U.P. conducted by Kevin Dillon and Geoff Anderson. It became immediately apparent that they have given careful thought to what kind of control tactics will actually work best for the average officer. The skills they taught were simple, focused on immediate results, very effective, and can be used by officers of all sizes and skill levels. L.O.C.K.U.P. is more than just combat skills. It also discusses tactics, attitudes, and challenges the officers to think in a mor e proactive way about protecting themselves and taking control when dealing with uncooperative suspects. It was obvious that the officers in the class were having a great time and valued the insights and skills there were acquiring. Dillon and Anderson are gifted instructors who had great rapport with the officers. I highly recommend this class to everybody, including officers and trainers. Management can also benefit from the keen insights offered by Dillon and Anderson.

"I have known and respected LT Dillon for many years as a top notch police officer. I have studied traditional martial arts, law enforcement and military fighting techniques for many years. LT Dillon’s training is the best, most comprehensive and practical training I have received. He combines many different aspects of various fighting methods into the best hand to hand combat/defense techniques I have encountered. His training covering acceptable use of force in relation to law enforcement activities is concise and on point. His training is a must for any law enforcement or military personnel. “As you train, so shall you fight.”

“I have employed the tactics I've learned in Lt. Kevin Dillon's "L.O.C.K.U.P. Arrest and Control Instructors Course" on several occasions, and they have been very successful. By knowing these techniques and ending a situation that could have gotten out of control we were able to prevent injuries to Officers as well as the suspect. It is a course that is well worth taking. Someday it could save your life.”

I love your program and its training because I love to fight. Your program reminds me of "The WILL TO TRAIN to win is more important than the will to win".

I have since graduated from your training and bear the honored title of Instructor. I have received training throughout the better half of my life, which includes Marine Corps boot camp. I have played sports all of my life and with rigorous training sessions. Your course of instruction was one of the best training sessions I have ever been involved with. I have taken this knowledge and skill and have passed along this training to other Bother and Sister Police Officers

The agency has an excellent self defense training program which contributed greatly to their success in low usage of less lethal weapons during this accreditation period.”

“Your high speed training and energy put forth sets you years ahead of what is out there today. The combat tactics and teachings you have given us in just a short time are staggering, but most of all, so real in the everyday activities of a SWAT operator. The tactics and training are challenging to even the most senior operators. It truly was the most informative and action packed training we have ever attended. “Sweat, saves Blood” Right on!”
