About
I pride myself on focusing on the fundamentals of empty hand self defense or firearm training. I make sure the students are confident in the skills I teach them. Taking the time to make sure they feel good about what they learned before moving on to the next skill.
I enjoy watching people walk into training that are nervous, shy, and intimated in the beginning. Then leave their first class with pride and confidence that they can actually learn how to protect themselves and their loved ones. I enjoy this feeling with the empty hand self defense and the firearm training.
