I joined club few years ago. Had a call with Walker, paid $1,000 plus $10/month to join for WEEKLY events. The first couple of them were OK, including Philipino & knife fight training. The next one was Breaking and Entering – that was in Maryland. I signed my son up as well as he was interested, and had to pay extra $170. Cool. Drove there with my son – almost an hour from Fairfax, only to learn that it’s not happening. On the spot. No email, no text, no warning. I texted Walker, the founder, and he told me it’s cancelled. Unpleasant but OK, shit happens. There was another participant who also didn’t get notified. Hmm.. I requested the refund. A week late, it was still not done. Had to reach out again and again. Really? So, In addition to cancelling, Walker was unable to manage the finance side while only delivering inconveniences. In the course of next 2 years, I tried scheduling and signing up for the events multiple times , but the notify feature NEVER EVER worked on their website. It is almost impossible to sign up to events as they were filled (number of participants is small). And that’s after paying the top plan . IN ADDITION, the events were not available every weekend – as was advertised – so the promise was broken again. Even now, not every weekend has events, very often there is only 1 or 2 events for the month, some months have no events. Now, the original location was in DC/DMV area, but Walker now moved to Tennesee and events are all around country, and other countries as well. While I welcome travel and locations, going countrywide and to other countries while not being able to handle even local scale, is puzzling. I would like at least partial refund for the things I didn’t get to do, but I don’t expect Walker to deliver, based on the past. Summary: Bad organization, bad communication, bad signup process & website. FKA club promises but skirts on delivering. False advertising and Not worth signing up. Skip it, you are much better finding events on your own.

You feel a little awkward about it when explaining that you're doing something with a group called "Certified Badass", because you'd be right to think that people might be a bit skeptical. Except, it's the real deal. You could be shooting guns, jumping off cliffs, experiencing a simulated kidnapping by experts on hostage-taking, doing martial arts, scuba diving to a shipwreck, spending the night in an abandoned asylum, or a day at a sweat lodge, or sitting at a bonfire with expert catering next to other like-minded adventure-seekers. This isn't ordinary. It's opportunities that you never knew you wanted and can't wait to tell everyone about afterward. There's nothing else like this out there.

Joined this group to meet people that want to do cool things and have a good time. They over delivered. Had a blast with great people. If you’re looking to meet friends and do fun stuff then this is the place for you.

Absolutely great experience with great people’s

Best decision I made on a whim. Signed up with Certified Badass months ago and finally went out to one of their events, and I’m hooked. If you’re looking to meet and get to know great people, try something new and step outside of your comfort zone - Certified Badass experiences are for you. It’s more than just experiences, it’s a social club where everyone makes you feel welcome and doing hard things together always the best recipe for bonding. Walker, the founder, goes above and beyond to make sure the experience goes smoothly and comes up with amazing things to do from martial arts and sword fighting, to spiritual healing and snowmobiling. My only regret is that I waited too long to do my first experience with them.

The professionals that led our retreat were top notch, and the group of folks that participated were fantastic. It was such a great time. So much joy and fun. 10/10 would do it again, and can't wait for the next event!

Even with a little hiccup in our original accommodation plans, Walker was able to quickly pivot and create an amazing weekend for us all. Meditation, martial arts, home cooked meals, sleeping under the stars in 26 degree weather and, best of all, quality bonding time with fellow baddies. Love this group so much! ❤️

It’s not any other business…it’s a platform that brings together people with a zest for life! Walker is amazing!
