Took 12 of our staff members to attend a Situational Awareness workshop with Tracy Thomas from his authored FAS Growing Threat Series books. The class was a real eye-opening experience and one that gives us a different outlook at both work and our personal lives. Our team absolutely loved the class thank you so much.

My family and I were getting ready to travel abroad. Our children our home schooled, and my work takes to many foreign countries. I wanted to get my family trained and well-versed in situational awareness and defense training. I was introduced to Tracy Thomas of Form A Strategy (FAS) from a friend who utilized him for active shooter defense response training at their business facility. I spoke to Tracy, and we were scheduled to take the FAS Traveling Threat Response that is part of his Growing Threat Series workshops. I am writing this review months later and I can only tell you that the G.E.A.R. concepts and training taught in that workshop have and will save lives. My entire family walked away feeling more secure and safe. The course is second to none and the instructors are the best I have seen.

I highly recommend the FAS Keep Your Business Safe workshop that all our warehouse employees attended. We do feel there is a growing threat in our community and this workshop gave us the roadmap to keep our employees safe, form a strategy while developing a plan, train our teams, and help HR mitigate any liability. We are considered a small business, but we had 40 employees attend the training. Tracy Thomas and Daniel were top notch instructors. Thank you so much!

From civilian to military to law enforcement it can be said that I have attended quite a few courses when it comes to defending oneself unarmed or armed. Nothing can compare to what I have learned under training with Master Instructor Tracy Lee Thomas and his instructors. His teachings are real-world. Attend a class and judge it for yourself.

I’m more than happy to write a review for the Form A Strategy courses. They call them the Growing Threat Series for a reason, the threats are out there, and they are real. I wanted to attend an active shooter defense course so a friend of mine told me to Google “Tracy Lee Thomas personal protection” and I did just that. I then went to FormAStratgey.com and was intrigued by all of the courses that applied to my life and well-being of it. After taking the active shooter class, I enrolled my high school daughters as well as my wife and I, in the FAS College Bound Readiness course and from there I have attended 8 different growing threat series courses, 3 with my family. I cannot even begin to tell you how well these workshops are laid out. The organization, the structure and what we learned will never be forgotten. Attend any one of their workshops and you’ll have no regrets.

Our business has been looking to give our employees the confidence in having a plan should an immediate threat or violent encounter occur at our business. We wanted to empower our team and offer them pre-planning should anything ever occur in the future. I found Tracy Thomas through his Krav Maga schools instructor and was introduced to their FAS active shooter growing threat series for business owners. The learning environment was absolutely amazing and months later we are still talking about the workshop. We have truly formed a strategy as Tracy taught us and clearly have all of our evacuation routes and avoidance measures in place.

The FAS Kidnapping & Abduction Response was a fantastic class and I feel so much safer now that I have attended this growing workshop series class. The FAS instructor was Tracy Thomas and he kept both the physical skill sets part of the course as well as the presentation side fun and simplistic. I like the saying “works for most of the people most of the time, not just for some of the people some of the time.” The highlight or aha moment for me was when I realized I can get away and survive from having my wrists duct taped or being tied to a chair. Both strategies and tactics taught were beyond anything I expected. It is an honor to write this review and thank you sir for all that you do with saving lives.

The Growing Threat Series workshops doesn’t just teach you to “form a strategy” they teach you exactly what their FAS instructors state and that is, “Don’t be a target, don’t be a victim. Train hard and stay safe.” I highly recommend FAS.

We have trained with FAS for many years. My wife and I started off taking the growing threat workshops in Virginia under Tracy Thomas and his instructors. We then shifted our training to dryfire scenarios and gun defense. Months later we were at the range training with FAS in their scenario based live fire events. We just took our CCW class and thoroughly enjoy all they have to offer. Thank you sir!

Carjacking Response training? When my girlfriend told me, she was attending a one-day seminar with a FAS Instructor I was thinking why I would want that training. Well, I guess the universe was sending me a message. My neighbor was carjacked the very next day in broad daylight. The crime is getting ridiculous here. I decided to attend the growing threat series course and it was a true wow factor for both of us. I now feel confident in parking lots, getting in my car, in my car and getting out of the car. I may not be the baddest person in the valley, but I know I can and will survive should someone attempt to carjack me. I recommend everyone take this FAS class and the head instructor Tracy Thomas made it so much fun

As an educational facility the College Bound Readiness is a perfect fit for student safety and awareness. Our goal was to give the youth of this world the tools needed to lower their levels of stress to enhance their educational experience. The Form A Strategy team delivered top notch training as highly energized instructors. I want to give a personal thank you in this review to Tracy Thomas at FAS for all that he has done for our facility. I can and always will recommend their growing threat series. I heard your workshops have now become a series of books. Congratulations on becoming an author, the series of books will positively change lives.

If you are thinking about learning how to protect yourself at home the Form A Strategy Growing Threat Series is a must attend type of course. I am forever grateful for all the knowledge and experience I learned at their Virginia location. I was stationed in Virginia Beach and a Krav Maga school was utilizing the FAS growing threat home invasion series. The threat assessment checklist alone was well worth it. The instructor was Mr. Tracy Thomas and he was obviously well versed in all of the practical concepts of surviving a home invasion. I will be attending the FAS Active Shooter in 3 months, and I am excited. Check them out.
