Gutterfighting 2.0
When Violence Must Happen
Gutter fighting is a system of empty-hand fighting and close-range shooting that will develop the skills you need to defend yourself against close-up, violent surprise attacks.
The empty-hand part of this class will be taught by a former US Army Special Forces Close Combat Instructor and will focus on how to stun and stagger an attacker in order to gain space and bring the weapon into play.
This portion of the class will cover: Empty hand striking techniques, break-away/escape techniques, weapons retention, using a pistol as an impact weapon, and how to disarm an attacker.
The shooting portion of this class will focus on up-close, emergency self-defense shooting.
This part of the class will cover: Close contact shooting, emergency point shooting, and how to shoot from disadvantaged position such as laying on the ground on your back or side, or while seated.
This will be a physically active class and will attempt to replicate the scenarios and stress associated with a real-life attack. You don’t need to be an athlete; but you must be able to handle physical exertion and stressful situations to make this class enjoyable for you.
This is not a basic shooting class. You need to have a basic level of competence and confidence with your weapon. This class requires body manipulation and some twisting and turning.
Fighting Snubby
The snub-nosed revolver (snubby) is one of the most popular types of handguns sold in the United States. Millions of people own these guns and depend on them for personal protection, home defense or as a back-up weapon to their primary weapon.
Like all firearms, the snubby has advantages as well as limitations.
The purpose of The Fighting Snubby is to help the snubby owner understand how to maximize the advantages of the short-barrel revolver and transform it from what some consider a marginal carry gun, into a legitimate weapon of self-defense.
ERTS (Emergency Response Teams)
ERT's are becoming a way of life in some institutions such as Churches, and small office buildings. We can start you out with the basics such as choosing your team. Setting up hardened interior areas. Proper response to flowing situations. Dealing with troubled people. Proper area searches. Armed and unarmed response to various situations. As well as trauma Medical training.
This course is focused around dynamic aggressive responses to very violent attacks. It is heavy on marksmanship and dynamic shooting under stress. We cover team, as well as individual shooting techniques that will train your responders to get the fastest, most effective results in a situation gone bad.
This course also covers hand to hand disarms, take downs, and strikes needed to disable an adversary.
Please email for initial contact. Churches must be independent of all other groups and must be able to obtain liability insurance for your team.
Personal and Family Protection in the Home and on the Road
Train. Fight. Win.
The news is filled with stories of shootings, child abductions, home invasions, carjacking's, and every other kind of violent act imaginable. We never know when we may be faced with an act of violence. We won't have any advanced warning. To be prepared, we have to train, and we have to have a plan.
This class will run you through several different scenarios that will help you formulate a plan to better protect yourself and your family against a violent attack, whether you are in your own home, in your vehicle, or out and about. This class will also include some ballistics testing using both target and carry ammo. This a great class to take as a couple or as an individual.
In addition to the items required for our regular classes (see tab under the Student Info page labeled Gear List), this class will require 10 rounds of carry ammo for the ballistics portion. If you have any questions about selecting this ammo, please contact us.
