our training
Although we don't live in fear, we recognize that many threatening situations could occur--natural disasters, societal and economic downturns, assaults, robberies, active shootings, and even just regular risks with daily living.
​
Some threats are more or less likely to occur than others. However, we choose to actively prepare for the worst and hope for the best.
​
Our training is founded on a relentless focus on maximizing effectiveness in real-life scenario response and building inner resilience to withstand hardship.
​
Classes are taught by knowledgable instructors and are designed to help you build your preparedness from beginner to advanced levels. Our ultimate goal is to help you and your family become fully prepared for any potential emergency situation and then to help you be a positive influence in helping your neighbors and community do the same.
