Class Description

This class is designed to teach combative skills in a weapons based environment (introduction of pistol). The material in the course teaches students high level, yet basic and easy to learn concepts, principles, theory and techniques. The course starts from ground zero, building the students in a step by step process, then as new or enhanced skills are developed students are put in scenarios to test application of new material in dynamic environments. These environments are based on common scenarios that catch people off guard in violent situations.

Fighting and shooting are rarely done at the same time in trainings, yet in reality they are happening at the same time. They say "life and death is in the gaps", this course fills those gaps.
