Trusted by Military Units
Hear from military personnel who have trained with AXIS
"I have attended five separate advanced body flight AXIS courses, three of which I lead. Nik and Bri have given nothing short of excellent instruction each and every time. They are consistent, professional, highly capable, and experts in instruction. Not one of the 20 personnel that attended their course(s) during my time expressed dissatisfaction with their course. I would highly recommend AXIS for military instruction, mff, AFFI, free flying, relative work, rigging and packing, tunnel work, and canopy control to name a few. AXIS is unbelievably accommodating and I can't wait to work with them again."

"I've had the pleasure of both participating in as well as observing several Axis Flight School tunnel, freefall, and canopy piloting courses. Axis brings the highest level of expertise to all of these. Not only are Nik and Brianne accomplished skydivers with several National and World titles under their belts, but they are extraordinary instructors. All of their lesson plans are carefully thought out and are refined with every course iteration."
Lt Col Iveta Riggins
USAF / AZ ANG
"We have used Axis flight school several times for military training. They are the best course and instructors we have had for wind tunnel, bodyflight/freefall and canopy control. Nik and Bri were able to cater to any training request and coaching/instruction we required. They even helped us enhance our curriculum for our MFF course. Nik and Bri are exceptional instructors. They are always professional and safe, and they improved the safety of our school and operations. They provide a fun learning atmosphere where performance and understanding skyrocket. They have the unique ability to cater coaching and training to each individual for understanding and development. We saw dramatic and quantifiable improvement in performance, and enhanced safety and risk mitigation. I cannot recommend them enough and I hope to get the chance to work with them again."
MSgt Lawrence
"Phenomenal instruction and dedication to improving our skills in any area we requested. AXIS has made our team more proficient and safer in the air, allowing us to enhance our mission capabilities."
MSgt Justin Wood
USAF Pararescue
"Bri and Nik's teaching styles mix very well with the SOF style of learning, blending just the right amount of trash talk with direct critical feedback. They manage to house an elite performance level beneath their genuine humility. They don't step out of their wheelhouse, and they understand the fact that military jumper's focus is wider than just the jump portion. They masterfully keep an entire group on the threshold of each individual's ability, right in the learning sweet spot, despite dealing with a broad spectrum of baseline flyers. Everyone who attends their course will come away as a better flyer, regardless of their skill level at the start."
