    Why This Course:

    If you are an outdoor enthusiast who enjoys going to new places to explore, hunt, camp or hike you can find yourself in unfamiliar terrain.  Take a shortcut, hit a trail closed marker, or need to escape weather, or chase that deer a little further than you expected and next thing you know you can become lost.  Even if you aren’t worried about being lost, the ability to read a map and confidently move around gives you more options when you are exploring new areas.

    If you are a member of a Search and Rescue team, understanding terrain and reading maps are vital skills.  In addition, you never want to become another victim in an already difficult situation.  If you are preparing for your NASAR SARTECH 2 certification, Land Navigation is one of the most failed portions of the practical test.

    Topics Covered:

    • Map Reading
    • Terrain Features on Paper vs. Reality
    • Route Planning
    • Team Movement

    This course will cover the following topics:

    • The Emotional Basis of Fear

    • How Words Can Impact

    • The Physical Aspects of Fear

    • Being Challenged versus Threatened

    • The Differences between Fear and Anxiety

    • Trusting Your Instincts

    • The 4 Methods to Control Fear

    About This Course:

    In many areas, assailants prefer using bladed or pointed weapons. Additionally, there are places where carrying a firearm is not permitted, but you may be allowed to carry a knife for self-defense.

    Most knife fighting or knife defense classes resemble a choreographed dance more than practical training for real encounters. Such encounters are often ambushes, typically brief but always brutal. Your training needs to focus on the actual techniques employed by most attackers.

    This is not a martial arts training course. It is a hybrid-style, reality-based system with techniques you can apply immediately.

    Topics Include:

    • ·       Multiple Angles of Attack
    • ·       Footwork and Distancing
    • ·       Direct and Efficient Strikes
    • ·       Clinch and Control
    • ·       Simplicity and Adaptability
    • ·       Mindset and Awareness

    This course is focused on practicality and is designed with methods to adapt to various situations, opponents, and personal fitness, skill, and size.

    Equipment Required:

    • ·       Eye protection
    • ·       Groin protection for males and breast protection for females is optional but recommended
    • ·       Wear a shirt you don’t mind getting destroyed.  It probably won’t, but you never know.
    • ·       Training knives will be supplied, but you are welcome to bring your own

    Prerequisites:

    • ·       None
    • ·       This class is geared toward the individual with little to no martial arts or fighting experience.
    • ·       If you have martial arts experience, you will still benefit by learning the additional nuances of this style.

    Special Note about Physical Condition:

    You do NOT have to be in great shape, be strong or particularly fast. A 100 pound woman can drop a man twice her size using the principles taught. That's not hyperbole, and will be demonstrated in class.

    About This Course:

    This is our standard basic handgun course, offered in a ladies only setting.  While we believe intermediate and advanced training should be co-ed, sometimes just starting out it is good to be in a setting where many of you have the same types of concerns and challenges when carrying your firearm.  This course seeks to offer that environment.

    About this course:

    Red Dot optics/sights (RDS) have become prevalent on rifles and are now considered the standard for close quarter fighting rifles.  The same is projected for pistols as the technology continues to adapt and improve.  For shooters whose eyesight might not be perfect, red dots can offer several advantages.  However, using a red dot optic is not exactly the same as using traditional sights.  This course will give you the fundamentals necessary to properly transition to and deploy a RDS on your handgun. 

    For those who are considering making the switch, we will have rental handguns available to use.

    Topics Include:

    • Red Dot Sight (RDS) theory
    • Red dot types, features, and mounts
    • Holster considerations
    • Marksmanship and mechanics
    • Acquisition of the sight
    • Parallax and occluded optics
    • Use of back-up sights
    • Alternate aiming techniques

    Equipment Required:

    • Pistol with RDS (or arrangements to rent)
    • At least 2 magazines (additional magazines will decrease time spent reloading)
    • Holster (NO Serpa Holsters due to insurance regulations)
    • Approximately 500 rounds of ammunition
    • Eye and Ear protection

    Prerequisites:

    Defensive Handgun Level 1 or equivalent training at another certified training facility

    Notes:

    Open to ages 14 and over when attending with a parent.

    About This Course:

    In the domestic US, we often take for granted our easy access to high quality medical care. If you get injured, you simply go to the hospital or doctors office and get yourself fixed.

    However, if you are hiker, adventure sports participant, or can imagine a time when access to the ER might be limited, understanding how to close a wound can be a vital skill. Although a short class won't teach you how to close a wound worthy of a plastic surgeon, you can learn the basic closures required to help prevent infection and further damage to the wound site.

    Topics Covered Include:

    When to suture

    Types of suture

    Types of closures

    Infection control

    Equipment Needed:

    You will need to purchase a practice suture training kit prior to class. 
    If you do not order your own, you can purchase one from us when you get your ticket.

    About This Course:

    The shotgun is one of the most misunderstood weapon systems, but also one of the most versatile. While many people have used a shotgun to hunt, or to shoot cans, proper utilization in a defensive situation is much different. Ammunition selection, how to change ammunition mid fight, strengths and limitations, extra shell placement, are all things that must be considered to get the most out of the weapon. We will cover various techniques for deploying the shotgun in different scenarios to allow the operator to get the most out of this tool. If you are considering having a shotgun as part of your home defense plan, or you are a patrol officer who wants to get better at its utilization, this is a vital course for you. Regardless of how many rounds you have fired at your local range or while hunting, you will learn how to use your shotgun in real world situations.

    Equipment Required:

    • Tactical shotgun, pump or automatic, gauge does not matter

    • Method to carry extra shells (Side saddle preferred… stock saddle, sling strap, belt pouch, etc are all fine).

    • 75 rounds of number 7 or 8 birdshot

    • 5 rounds of 00 buckshot

    • 5 rounds of slugs.

    • Ear and Eye protection

    If you do not have a weapon, you can use one of ours (simply pay for the ammunition).

    Prerequisites:

    Solid understanding of firearm safety

    Course is open to those 14+ when a parent attends

    About This Course:

    Many people think a firearm is a magic wand which will help ward off evil. Others think they will be able to use it to “scare” off an attacker. Some people think they will have no issue using a firearm when the time comes.

    The reality is all of these are myths. Using a firearm in a defensive situation requires a certain mindset, and that mindset needs to be developed far before the need arises. Knowing when NOT to use the firearm, the thought process which will occur in a violent encounter, and the ramifications on you if you do pull the trigger. These are all things most people never consider when they purchase their firearm.

    Regardless of your skill with a firearm, this is a vital course.

    Course Topics:

    • Firearms safety on the range versus firearms safety on the street

    • The types of firearm owners

    About This Course:

    One of the keys to being able to survive a violent encounter is the ability to maintain a clear head and keep communicating with those around you. Whether it be a teammate, an innocent bystander, or the target you are engaging, clear communication in the heat of the moment is often much harder to do than most people expect. You must be able to work with those around you in a fluid manner to maintain maximum team effectiveness.

    Naval Special Warfare members are among the best in the world at engaging forces much larger than themselves, and this stems from their ability to communicate and the extensive drills they run every week.

    In this course, you will be shown many of the drills used to create these highly efficient warriors, and how you can use them to further refine your skills.  This course will focus on Tactical Teamwork and Communication.

    If there is a piece of gear you do not have, please let us know and we can likely provide you something to borrow.

    Course will run from 10:00am until 5:00pm on Saturday, and 9:00am until 4:00pm on Sunday.  We will break for lunch both days.

    About This Course:

    Have you ever observed how some individuals appear to handle stress, depression, anxiety, or trauma with greater resilience? Have you pondered why you or others sometimes feel trapped in cycles of negative thoughts and emotions? Are you aware of the connection between mental health and physical well-being?

    These phenomena find explanation in the realms of neuroimmunology and neuropsychology. Formerly attributed to inherent traits, we now understand these differences as products of individual neurological makeup. The exciting revelation is that the brain isn't fixed; it's malleable. By understanding and actively engaging with this plasticity, you can not only transform your thought processes but also reshape the very structures of your brain. These changes yield improvements not just in emotional and mental health but also directly impact physical well-being.

    This course is not a journey of self-help, motivation, or spirituality. Rather, it offers a rigorous exploration grounded in scientific research and evidence-based practices. Delve into the workings of the brain, how they influence various facets of life, and the actionable medical theories for effecting change. Regardless of your background or educational journey, you'll find value in this course.

    Topics Covered Include:

    Pathways of depression, anxiety, grief, and stress

    Mission focused mindset and delayed responses

    Resilience and mental “toughness”

    Mental / Physical interactions

    Breaking the cycles of toxic thinking

    Nutritional and pharmaceutical components of brain chemistry

    Prerequisites:

    None

    Equipment Required:

    Pen and Paper for notes. This is a classroom based course.

    Notes:

    This course is open to ages 16+ with a parent in attendance. This course will cover topics that are very academic and medical based. Younger participants are welcome but the material may be advanced for their understanding.

    About This Class:

    Active Shooters situations are particularly demanding, because encounters are rarely ever the same. Responders are unable to envision and prepare for every possible outcome, so the ability to adapt rapidly to unpredictable circumstances is essential.

    Increasing the psychological pressure is the surprise nature of the events where responders are often caught in the moment. Decision making must be highly fluid because there is no time before making critical split-second decisions on actions. A breakdown in communications, an inaccuracy interpreting the situation, or an overly impulsive decision can easily lead to casualties.

    One of the most dangerous parts of responding to an active shooter decision is when an assailant is inside a room. In fact, in an urban CQB environment, even with well-trained soldiers, the casualty rate can often be higher than 50 percent. Bottom line, if we can avoid making room entry, it is usually the best decision.

    Threshold analysis in CQB is about using the doorway threshold as a strategic tool to gain an advantage over potential threats by maximizing situational awareness, controlling entry, and utilizing dynamic movement to maintain a tactical edge.

    About This Course:

    We want to think our church is a place of refuge where we can safely grow a relationship with our God, family, and fellow congregation. Unfortunately, churches are quickly becoming one of the most targeted places for violence.

    Many churches have started safety or security teams, but they often lack the ability to give proper training and guidance to the team members. In too many instances the church board simply finds the person in the congregation who happens to be a police officer, tags them to develop a security plan, and then opens it up to volunteers. While this is certainly better than having nothing in place, this approach can leave many holes in a fully comprehensive security plan.

    Getting a full team together to offer training has issues. People have complicated schedules. Training facilities are limited. Training courses may offer some of the base skills, but they are not tailored to the church environment.

    While we offer full advisement, planning, and training packages to churches, we found many other instances where individual safety team members understand it is “up to them” to get the training required. This course will help individuals who have been tasked to serve their church in a security or safety team role to be better prepared. In addition, several topics will be discussed they can take back to their organizations to help implement a more comprehensive plan.

    Topics Covered:

    Situational Awareness before, during, and after the service

    De-escalation techniques for church environments

    Firearms and other weapons considerations

    Safeguarding the offering and financial contributions

    Protecting the children

    Medical issues, fires, weather events, and other safety emergencies

    Legal liability

    Equipment Required:

    Notepad and Pen

    Prerequisites:

    None

    Notes:

    This course is primarily aimed at individual safety team members but will help guide the basis for an overall church plan.

    This is a fast paced course with many topics covered

    Follow-on training is available to go deeper into each topic

    About This Course:

    The inevitable thing about being in a gunfight is that the goodguy can get hurt. Often that includes you getting hurt. However, when the fight is raging on, you still have to focus on neutralizing the threat and then treating the wounds. “Winning the gunfight” is great, but more important is “Winning and Surviving”. This course will help you prepare to do both.

    This course is a blend of skills taught in our shooting and medical classes. This course focuses on handgun engagements.  This is VERY MUCH a handgun course.

    Fighting from a Disadvantage

    Managing Compromised Ability

    Rapid Care While Moving

    Self-Extrication

    Victim Movement Techniques

    Holster (NO Serpa Holsters due to insurance regulations)

    About This Course:

    The reality is most gunfights in the domestic United States will take place up close and personal.  The idea you will be shooting your adversary at 25 yards is usually a myth and a mindset which makes it easier for you to feel safe after going to the range and practicing your marksmanship aimed at static paper targets. Statistics show the majority of gunfights happen within 3 yards, and many within arms reach.  Some places will teach you to create distance from your adversary, but we teach if you find yourself in a deadly encounter to get close, interrupt their OODA loop, end the fight, and go home.

    This course will teach you how to fire your weapons without sights, quickly, in close, and with potential other obstacles in the way.

    Equipment Required:

    • Semi-Automatic Handgun

    • Holster (NO Serpa Holsters due to insurance regulations)

    • 3 Magazines

    • Magazine carry method for at least 1 spare magazine

    • Approximately 300 rounds of ammunition

    • Eye and Ear protection

    •  T-Shirt or Sweatshirt you don't mind destroying

    •  Please equip yourself as you would carrying during everyday life.  No battle belts, chest rigs, etc unless that is how you go the grocery store (police duty gear is acceptable)

    Prerequisites:

    Defensive Handgun Level 2, or equivalent training through us or at another recognized facility.  You must have above average weapon safety understandings and muzzle discipline.  Please contact us with any questions about these prerequisites.

    Notes:

    This course is available to those 18 and over. 

    This is a very advanced course, it isn't overly physical must you must have your brain engaged at all times.

    $195
