The primary focus on safety was very thorough and appreciated. In addition to the stages of the process (safety, loading, holstering, firing, etc.), the lectures as well as the conversation sessions where very informative. I would highly recommend these classes to others including everyone in my families- especially those who are close minded about guns in general; those who are afraid of guns; and those that have limited knowledge and have no place to go for training.

I recently attended a shooting course with Advanced Security and Defense's Defense Training Academy. I was pleasantly surprised with the knowledge and confidence I quickly gained through the course. I had attended a Defensive Pistol training class several years ago and had forgotten how perishable even basic skills really are. This course allowed me to be reacquainted with basic safe gun handling skills such as treating the gun as loaded, and keeping my trigger finger in the registered position. We also addressed fixing a jammed weapon and holstering the weapon safely and securely. Additionally, I was able gain experience reacting to deadly attack, close encounter shooting, and use of obstacles as cover. I really appreciated the close personal training and the adaptability of the instructor to adjust the training to my specific needs. This course went above and beyond my expectations and I will be attending again for continued maintenance of my skills and to build further on those skills.

As a mother, it is my job to protect my children so I made the decision to get some self-defense training. I was very nervous at first. But, the instructors made it very comfortable for me as a beginner with absolutely no experience. Safety was emphasized through the entire course. That helped me be more attentive because I was comfortable in the training environment. Advanced Security and Defense’s weapons training, Defense Training Academy provided a comprehensive practical curriculum beginning with a didactic course and followed by time on the range. I can honestly say that after the class, I feel confident in the basics of handling a handgun to protect myself and my family.

HB Krav Maga is a great workout, physically and mentally. They teach you be relentless in defending yourself and your loved ones, but they also teach situational awareness and smart decision-making.
