Excelsior Training Group

Excelsior Training Group is a collective of experienced trainers with one philosophy: students should leave class understanding how to train on their own, not just executing drills they'll forget. Their approach centers on deliberate design—using motor learning principles, varied and random practice patterns, and force-on-force scenarios to build lasting skills.

"Doing what you are good at is fun, but does little to improve your overall abilities."

They push students to lean into failure. The goal isn't comfort—it's identifying weaknesses and building a culture where instructors and students want to compete and keep improving.

For law enforcement and instructor development programs, this means trainers learn how to teach properly. Instructors graduate with knowledge of learning methodology, live-fire demonstration skills, and templates for designing quality instruction.
