TRAINING & EVENTS
We love to train, like many of you, but we look at things a bit differently. While most firearms instruction focuses on LEO or Military tactics and long taught ideals, we focus on what we refer to as reality based training - scenario and fight training based on what the average citizen may face in the real world.
The FIREARMED program from Fit to FIGHT is coming soon!

Recent Firearm, Personal Defense training includes
Firearmed 1.0 Online course Completed - January, 2020
Hoover and Staklinski, 23 part series completed
The course is a multi-level system that uses inert training weapons, such as SIRT training weapons from Next Level Training, to allow for training in a facility that is not established for live fire. The visual feedback and training weapon features allow for many elements of offensive firearms training to be covered while emphasizing the need for fighting, clinching, wrestling, and retention skills to go along with use of a firearm.
Additional topics covered in the course include trauma care training, post engagement steps, communicating with police after the incident, legalities of firearm use for self-defense, weapons-free self-defense skills, and more.
