These are not cookie-cutter classes, these classes grow and adapt with our members.
Neophyte
Are you concerned about your awareness levels? Nervous when there is talk of guns? Not certain what to do about that close-talker at the bar?
The neophyte realizes the value of learning these skills but is uncertain where to begin.
Novice
Have you taken those “3-hour-we-teach-you-everything” self-defense classes only to realize you remember less than a third of it a few months later? Did someone convince you take a handgun class because it would be fun but you never go shoot?
The novice realizes these skills are not inherent but is also uncertain of how to continue this growth.
Capable
Over the year, have you pieced together your plan of attack for those parking lot walks but are not certain what the execution would look like if some did jump out at you? Do you have your conceal and carry license but still are not comfortable with everyday carry?
The capable realizes they have pieced together their plans but wants to improve their execution under duress.
Proficient
Have you studied self-defense/martial arts but are always looking to improve or try a new style? Are you armed everyday yet feel that you need more training in the application of force in dynamic environments?
The proficient realizes while these skills are second nature they are still perishable and on-going training while helping educate others will provide continuous growth and satisfaction.
