Four Winds Martial Arts Academy

"David Brown is an awesome instructor, very patient, fun and knowledgeable. I took the level 2 security guard course with him and highly recommend it. With his knowledge, and experience you can't go wrong. The course was such an amazing experience. Thank you Four Winds Martial Arts Academy!"

"David Brown has been involved in Martial Arts and Law Enforcement for over 25 years. He is currently the Vice President of the New Mexico Professional Security Association and has been instructing Security Officers for numerous years. His vast experience shows! David is an outstanding instructor for Security Professionals and he does a complete and thorough job of preparing his students at whatever level (1, 2, or 3) that they are seeking.

"I had the pleasure to attend a security Level 1 and 2 training class on the 15 to 17 January 2024. The trainer and owner David Brown is a professional, passionate, dedicated and focused trainer with many years of experience in the Security and Martial arts industry."

"Level 1 Security training was provided by David Brown with Triad Defense. I highly recommend this class, but it goes beyond any text or video you'll be learning from, because David is an extremely experienced individual, to list just a -few- of his experiences, he worked for almost 21 years with the Bernalillo County Sherriff's Office, 13 years violent crimes division, Undercover Narcotics 4 years, and part of the USAF as an instructor for 7 and a half years. So you'll receive quality Level 1 Training, but also knowledge and experience of a caliber that no one else can provide. And that is exactly what I encountered during the class. As for David himself, he is a highly professional, kind, and understanding individual, offering to help with any questions we had and to help us with job placement after gaining official certification with the State of New Mexico. And for those that have looked into the Security Industry already and are on the fence still; just know that David takes care of his people."

"I would 100% recommend Mr. Brown and his sister company TRIAD DEFENSE for any security training. I’ve worked in corrections for ten years. And have encountered some disrespectful, vulgar and unappealing individuals/trainers in my years of training. And I can definitely say that had David brown taught those corrections classes and instilled the confidence he did in myself and other females there would be a lot more females in the security and the law enforcement field. From hand to hand combat, to weapons/tool manipulation, he taught me exactly what I needed to succeed in his class for level 2 and 3 guard card training. I also have autism and I not once felt uncomfortable, at an unease or anxious. In fact Mr. Brown actually got me to smile quite a bit and made me feel very comfortable. He’s very patient, calm, and a collected/knowledgeable individual. He makes his classes comfortable for women, and men alike. A lifelong mentor and trainer is how I see him because I wouldn’t go anywhere else in the future."
