What is your Force on Force Situation Based training class?
Everyone has shot a gun at paper targets, punching holes, and feeling good about themselves. Like martial artists who punch in the air, the air, and the paper target, never punch back. There are many myths that are accepted as facts about “how to survive a gunfight.” Most are based on shooting games or a result of excessive range safety concerns.
We use Glock 17Ts, shooting marking rounds, to test your training, to refine your survival mindset, tactics, and philosophies. Force on Force Situation Based training is the only activity that permits you to actually be in a gunfight with real consequences – getting hit is uncomfortable, but certainly less uncomfortable than being shot with live ammunition.
We will ensure that no-live weapons or anything that can be used as a weapon is introduced into the sterile training area. Protective gear ensures no permanent injury. No excessive physical contact is allowed.
You will learn about your current training and beliefs and will find out if it was sufficient? Did you respond well enough to keep a bad guy from harming you? What could be done differently? Better? Smarter?
Force on Force Situation Based training is your chance to work against a live-opponent and initiate and test your defensible response.

If you can safely operate a handgun you will be fine. We don’t offer one size fits all kind of training, and we will adjust scenarios to your needs.
I do not have a gun. Can you help me with that?
If you don’t have any legal restrictions with regards to firearms, and need to borrow a gun for the training class – we will find you one.
If you are looking to purchase a gun – we will be happy to help you to make the right choice, and even to find a good price.
I need help with purchasing a handgun for home defense. What should I buy?
There are several great guns for home defense to choose from. And there are a lot of details you have to consider that we can’t cover here. Contact us and we will help you to make the right choice and find a good price.
I am not US citizen nor green card holder. Can I own the firearm?
Generally speaking – no. You can buy a rifle for hunting purposes, it is doable but complicated. But if you need a firearm for our classes – we can help.
I have never shot a handgun before. Are you working with inexperienced shooters?
Yes, we are helping new shooters to avoid “training scars”. We start from shooting fundamentals and progress from there. It is cheaper to start with an experienced instructor, than waste hundreds and hundreds of rounds of ammunition without any improvement and spend more time and money to get rid of acquired bad shooting habits.
I am interested in shooting sports such as USPSA or IDPA. What do I need to know?
This is a great idea! We strongly believe the competitive shooting is useful as a part of your defensive training regimen. Please remember that shooting matches are ultimately about improving your own skill sets.
You will master: Accessing the pistol (draw), presentation, safe handling, loading, unloading, reloading, bi-lateral shooting (right or left hand), position changes, interactions with barricades, movement with the gun in hand, and malfunction clearance.
Marksmanship is developed by learning to engage targets very quickly at common defensive distances. Matches are frequently including engaging targets that move, turn, drop, appear, disappear, swing, retreat.
You are about to have fun!
