1-Day Course | May 16th | 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM

This one day Intro to Combatives & Firearms course is designed for students of all skill levels who want to build a solid foundation in personal defense by integrating unarmed Combatives with handgun use.

The course focuses on realistic, practical application—teaching students how to manage close-range threats, create space, and safely transition to the firearm when appropriate.

Morning Block: Combatives Fundamentals

The morning session will focus on empty-hand techniques and combatives principles relevant to self-defense encounters. Students will work with inert firearms to safely learn:
	•	Managing distance and controlling an attacker
	•	Clinch work and positional awareness
	•	Weapon retention concepts
	•	Safe integration of firearm access during close-range encounters

This block is structured to be accessible to beginners while still providing value to experienced shooters.

Afternoon Block: Live Fire Application

In the afternoon, students will move to the live-fire range to apply the concepts learned earlier in the day. Training will focus on:
	•	Drawing and engaging from realistic defensive positions
	•	Applying combatives-based movement to live fire
	•	Decision-making under stress
	•	Efficient, practical handgun employment

Required Equipment
	•	Semi-auto pistol in a common defensive caliber (.380 or above)
	•	200 rounds of ammunition
	•	Quality holster (Kydex recommended)
	•	Comfortable clothing suitable for range use and light physical activity

(Combative training equipment for the morning portion will be provided.)

This course emphasizes safety, efficiency, and real-world applicability—making it an excellent option for newer shooters looking to build confidence, as well as experienced students seeking to refine their defensive skill set.
