🏠 ADAPTIVE HOME DEFENSE & INTRO TO CQB
5.5-HOUR COURSE | FIGHT WITH PURPOSE IN TIGHT SPACES
DEFEND WHERE IT MATTERS MOST—YOUR HOME.
HOME DEFENSE IS A 5.5-HOUR IMMERSIVE COURSE FOCUSED ON BUILDING THE PRACTICAL SKILLS NEEDED TO FIGHT INSIDE OR AROUND YOUR HOME USING ANY REALISTIC DEFENSIVE PLATFORM—HANDGUN, RIFLE, PCC, OR SHOTGUN. THIS COURSE IS OPEN TO ALL SKILL LEVELS AND TEACHES STUDENTS TO NAVIGATE TIGHT, HIGH-CONSEQUENCE ENVIRONMENTS WITH CLARITY, CONTROL, AND CONFIDENCE.
Note: This is
not a weapons fundamentals course. You may bring any home defense firearm, but
you must have a general working knowledge of your weapon system before class. That includes:
- How to load and unload it safely
- How to manipulate the controls (safety, charging handle, magazine release, etc.)
- How to clear basic malfunctions
WE WILL NOT COVER PLATFORM-SPECIFIC INSTRUCTION (E.G., HOW TO RUN A PUMP SHOTGUN VS. AN AR VS. A PISTOL-CALIBER CARBINE). STUDENTS SHOULD ARRIVE WITH A BASIC ABILITY TO OPERATE THEIR FIREARM. THIS COURSE FOCUSES ON HOME DEFENSE TACTICS AND DECISION-MAKING UNDER STRUCTURE, NOT INTRODUCTORY FIREARM OPERATION.
UNLIKE TRADITIONAL RANGE TRAINING, THIS COURSE PRIORITIZES DECISION-MAKING, MOVEMENT, AND STRUCTURE MANAGEMENT OVER WEAPON-SPECIFIC MANIPULATION. WHETHER YOU'RE NEW TO TACTICS OR A SEASONED SHOOTER, YOU’LL GAIN ESSENTIAL HOME DEFENSE TOOLS GROUNDED IN REAL-WORLD CLOSE-QUARTERS TACTICS.
