Train Elite. Carry Elite.
Practical Mastery for Modern Protectors
Multi-Instructor Training, Structured Progress, and Vetted Gear in One Ecosystem.
How Elite You works
A quick look at how training, mentors, and gear all come together inside Elite You.
- "Choose a Path" - Pick a training track that fits your current reality and goals.
- "Train with the Collective" - Learn from Elite You Instructor Collective using clear Lesson ➡ Module ➡ Course ➡ Masterclass progressions.
- "Equip with Intention" - Use members-only pricing to align your gear with how you actually train.
Why Elite You exists
Most training is either theory-heavy, gear-obsessed, or scattered. Elite You connects real instruction, vetted tools, and clear way forward.
Proven Mentors
Learn from professionals who lived it - no theatrics, no fluff, no ego-driven circus.
Structured Paths
Lesson ➡ Module ➡ Course ➡ Masterclass. You always know exactly what to work on next.
Members-Only Gear
Vetted knives, tools, and EDC from trusted Founding Suppliers, with members-only pricing.
Train with purpose. Equip with intention.
In the real world, your training and your gear live or die together. Elite You treats them as one system—not separate hobbies. You learn how to move, think, and fight with the same tools you actually carry, instead of training one way and living another.
- Members-only pricing on selected knives, tools, and EDC from trusted Founding Suppliers.
- Rotating Elite Drops with limited runs, prototypes, and special collaborations.
- Founders Club perks with the earliest and deepest access to new releases and rare gear.

What members and students are saying
"I just got through the Elite Mentor Stories and that was absolute gold! Really hitting hard on that “leave em wanting more” idea! I could easily listen to 120 minutes of that"
- Chris K.
"I signed up for this because I’ve seen Michael around on YouTube and I love the way he explains things. I was not expecting all of the extra information, stories, and wisdom that he is also passing on. Thank you for all of the extra lectures, this kind of information is so hard to find in the world of law enforcement today."
- John M.
"Can’t thank you enough, Mike. The conveyance of the methodologies are perfect for people at every level of know how and I’m proud to be a student of the elite you. It’s cool how this compliments things I’ve learned in the past with local people here AKA Guro B. Frank. Looking forward to the new material."
- Nick P.
