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 in different situations; when its not safe to draw a gun; weapon retention — keeping your firearm and not becoming a victim against it; using aggressive, practical techniques to control an armed threat and weapon takeaways.
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.
