Testimonials

I started training with Jake and the IEP team in 2023 and initially knew their approach to movement, training and performance was on a whole different level. No one in the LE or Mil training world was addressing this critical need in the way they do. The IEP team has the education, experience and individual hard skills to enhance any individual or departments training program. The practical performance based approach is something I support 100%. The way they address not only performance but combine it with individual hard skills is something that anyone can benefit from. I’ve been using their methods and programming in my own training and am extremely happy with the improvements I continue to make.

Matt Pranka

Xray Alpha LLC

I’ve trained with hundreds of instructors from all over the world, seen what they bring to the table, and while there are many good ones, Jake and the crew from IEP have truly found a niche that was lacking and filled it with solid knowledge. Despite being at the pinnacle of their craft, they’re still pushing their own growth and constantly evolving new ideas, drills, and training strategies... Plus, they’re just good dudes.

Joe Farewell

Instructor/Professional Shooter

Even having been athletic all my life and playing on a nationally ranked college lacrosse team, there were still many valuable pointers, tips, and lessons to be learned while working with Jake at In Extremis Performance. Regardless of your previous athletic experience, it’s well worth attending a course and tapping into their expertise on the topic of movement with a rifle or handgun.

Mike Pannone

IEP provides a unique framework for firearms and tactical mobility training. Their top notch instructors are able to effectively and efficiently show the correlation between efficient movement and effective firearm performance. I highly recommend this training to all law enforcement officers.

Dan Colasanto

Persident, TTPOA

Jake has been working diligently to bring the training industry something it’s never seen before and it’s very interesting. Instead of a shooting coach that can move, he’s a movement coach that can shoot. And I love it.

Mark Smith

JBS Training Solutions

The guys at In Extremis Performance understand efficiency and movement from a high level. If you are serious about improving your skill set with not only shooting, but in any athletic endeavor. I highly recommend training with In Extremis Performance.
