About
Certified & Trained
Michael Brown founded Tri-Balance to try and help people attempt to reach a level of harmony in body, mind, and spirit while navigating through this life. In 2001, Michael was involved in a critical incident as a police officer where he had to use his survival mindset and skills to survive a confrontation with an assailant who ended the lives of 4 people before Michael arrived on the scene to stop him. The aftermath sent him on an introspective journey of recovery. A journey that most officers don’t return from it whole! By the grace of God and the use of a Kingdom mindset and principles, Michael recovered from the trauma and prospered!
Michael spent another 14 years in the department after the incident. He was promoted to Sergeant and served highly successfully in several bureaus including Internal Affairs and the homicide bureaus before his retirement. He uses these same training methods, certifications, mindset, people skills, and principles to offer his skill set to people in need of his services.
After spending 27 years as a decorated Memphis police officer, being awarded the Medal of Valor, and the last 12 of those years simultaneously pastoring, he was hired to help create a Criminal Justice program at the Academies of West Memphis. After 7 years of teaching and mentoring students, he felt a calling to use all his gifts in other places as well.
Michael uses all his skill sets to teach basic and advanced “Street Fighting” self-defense and surroundings awareness. Michael is certified as a track coach, which he uses to add fitness to self-defense training.
Tri-Balance offers Verbal De-escalation training for schools and businesses as well as American Heart Association CPR/BLS training, in which Michael is a certified trainer in both. Tri-Balance offers a mentoring program for churches to teach men to mentor youth and build a program from the ground up. Also mentoring training for corporate businesses. As well as a speaker, Michael is a Life Coach/Disciple Builder and will teach Kingdom mental survival skills he has used for over 30 years to help you reach goals in your life and career.
We Specialize in Verbal De-escalation training for, teachers, business staff, students, security personnel, and law enforcement. Self-defense starts with the attempt to successfully de-escalate a situation before it escalates and becomes physical!
About
Certified & Trained
Tri balance Consulting LLC was created by a 27-year police veteran, pastor, mentor, and schoolteacher to support those who do this type of work and support the community. Over forty years of community service has given me the skills to give back as a servant. I spent years as a police officer, learning self-defense skills and communication skills to show others how to verbally de-escalate situations in public and after almost a decade in the classroom to help avoid physical assaults and calm agitated individuals. I have used all these skills numerous times in real-life not theory. I know what has saved my life, calm peoples nerves, managed a classroom and helped understand the other side of trauma. I know what will work!

: Certified Self-Defense Instructor

: Mass Shooting Survivor

There is a mindset you must have to survive the incident “while you are in the moment” and a mindset to live with what occurred and what you had to do to defend yourself, your loved ones or a third party. I will teach you the legal rights that you must know so you will not go to jail or face lawsuits. When it comes to defending life the whole person, body, soul and spirit has to be prepared.
We Specialize in Verbal De-escalation training for, teachers, churches, business staff, students, security personnel, and law enforcement. Self-defense starts with the attempt to successfully de-escalate a situation before it escalates and becomes physical!

Speaker
Michael is a speaker with a talent for telling engaging stories that uplift and inspire people. He draws from a wealth of experience that gives him the uncanny ability to give life lessons that not many have lived through. From a life filled with the unique mix of undeniable love and support to achieve from grandparents to an unfair amount of emotional abuse from a parent. Through love, trust and faith in the Lord and his grace, Michael was able to overcome the abuse and gain success in several careers in life. Michael’s life has been full of experiences of adversity that he has had to overcome. Those adversities taught him to follow the leading and guiding of God. Michael tells a story of how to embrace your tragedies and use them to build resilience in life. He used his trauma of parental abuse, poverty and PTSD from a tragic incident involving a mass shooting to transform his life. Whatever place in your soul you are in Michael can give you a word to transform your life!
