    "Great instructor! Teaches you that shooting isn’t just to shoot but a decision you make to take a life when necessary and that guns aren’t to be played around with.-Kenai Chavez"

    "This introductory class was perfect! As a single mom I knew having my dogs barking in the window would only go so far to protect us, I had to do better... but I didn't know how to start. Just the thought of personal defense was intimidating and even a little scary. But within a few minutes of starting this class I knew I had done the right thing, simply learning. Bob is an outstanding teacher, he is professional and patient while being very passionate about helping people. I highly recommend starting your journey here. "
