Description
We believe that if you carry a handgun to protect yourself or others, you must have a fundamentals set of skills (essential skills) that are firmly grounded, repeatable and available upon demand. Some people talk about "cold" performance, we choose the term "on demand performance" and we believe you need to understand your current skill level, capabilities and limitations.
Prospective students should have a general knowledge of handguns and be able to safely work from a suitable concealment or duty type holster. Students can expect to spend the majority of the class time on the range in live fire exercises intended to further develop an understanding of efficient application of the skills required to produce the required hits on a given target at speed. Explanations, Demonstrations and Practical Application of those skills required are the cornerstone of how we help each student progress at a pace that helps ensure anchoring the understanding of those skills.
Each detailed learning block throughout the course also features a "challenge" drill where students compete against each other in live fire drills designed to demonstrate learned skills and behavior.

Expectations and Outcomes
The student can expect to work hard. Thru correct repetition, we do all we can to build good habits, work thru training scars and in some instances unwire poor practices developed over time. We don't believe in only one way to do something, we believe that the "standard" speaks for itself. We have a list an assortment of techniques that we believe are the most efficient and repeatable processes to achieve the desired end result, but recognize there is more than one way to get to the end, we rely on the "standard" as the final product.
We utilize several "challenge drills" as a way to "test" ourselves and typically each learning objective is concluded with some form of skills based hands on scored practical exercise.
We move at a pretty fast pace, often described as "drinking thru a firehose", but we maintain a very narrow focused learning activity by using several roads to get to the desired end location.
