As Iron Sharpens Iron, So One Person Sharpens Another (Proverbs 27:17)

AWC Friends & Credit

At AWC, we realize that no person has done anything completely on their own. Randy, our founder, credits his ability to instruct these techniques to the years of combat training, mentors, friends, and experiences he has had over the years. Other companies or trainers may slander or defame those they view as competition. However, Randy believes in giving credit where it is due. He believes when you train with as many people as possible, you become well-rounded in effective self-defense and see what works for you and what doesn't. He would like to mention a few groups of people and friends that helped him on his journey to becoming the instructor he is now.
