Welcome, I’m Aaron, Owner and Lead Instructor of Critical Response Training
Lead Instructor Aaron Marko, husband, and father of three, accepted the responsibility that he was his family’s primary protector and as such should have the necessary skills to be effective. He began his training as a Krav Maga practitioner. Always arriving early for class and staying late to train with more senior students. His hard work and dedication earned him a recommendation for instructor school and after the grueling 20-day camp was awarded his Civilian instructor certification from IKMF – The international Krav Maga Federation.
Not one to rest on his laurels and with an unyielding desire to be a better resource for his students, Aaron began adding a string of instructor ratings from nationally recognized firearms training organizations such as the NRA, USCCA, and I.C.E. Training.
Additional instructor certifications from Ultimate Training Munitions (UTM) for Force on Force training with the use of non-lethal ammunition, as well as Sabre Pepper Spray for a non-lethal option, makes Critical Response Training the areas premier resource for those who desire to be better protectors of themselves and the ones they love.
