Most gunfights are rapid, violent, and close-range. If you carry a firearm for work or for self protection, this course is for you!
In this course, we focus on situational awareness to recognize precursors of would-be threats and to avoid becoming a target; students will train to draw their gun under pressure and in different situations; what to do when its not safe to draw a gun; how to keep the gun in retention — keeping your firearm and not becoming a victim against it; using aggressive, practical techniques and concepts to control an armed threat.
This training is scenario-based, stress-inoculating, situational, and intended to build the decision-making, timing, and physical skills that you will need to defend yourself and others; to survive that kind of violent, messy reality.
