    Defensive Shooting Skills taught with SIRT laser training pistols. Everything you CAN'T do at the shooting range!

    Perfect for those who already has a Permit to Carry or only keep a pistol at home for defense.

    Training topics include:

    • Drawing from the holster.
    • Dynamic moving and shooting (Get Off The X).
    • Shooting positions (1-2 handed) from contact range +.
    • Aim and shoot accurately without using the sights! Close range skills
    • Precision (sighted or dot) shooting. Longer distances.
    • Shoot in low light situations WITHOUT a flashlight!
    • Build awareness for shooting when others are present (Mall, church, etc...).

    Skill training only. No live fire practice. Suggested range shooting skills are prescribed.

    Live fire practice is still needed to evaluate and confirm proper grip, trigger control, sight alighment, and shot placement. Please get to a range and PRACTICE to confirm your effectiveness of unsighted and sighted aiming abilities, building confidence for actual defensive use not taught by most instructors.

    Science based for real gunfights. The average defensive shooting starts less than 15 feet away and our instinctive response is to square up and lock our eyes on the threat. It is impossible to focus on the sights of the pistol in these moments experienced by both law enforcement and citizens in reactive situations.

    You still need to learn precision shooting. Many fights start close and then people run! We must practice precision sighted skills for accuracy when we are able to aim with more precision. When you have the opportunity to take that more precise shot YOU ARE ACCOUNTABLE for the shots you fire. Innocent people have been struck.

    After this, continue to seek more training and practice in the areas you evaluate need improving.

    Will you bet your life on just taking a minimum required Permit class?

    Focus for the month of April. (March 30-April 29)

    Fox-Fu: Mixed Martial Art of Self-Defense for men, women, & teens 15+

    • This is physical skills training for the average person or martial artist wanting to focus on purely practical skills for self-defense.

    What is Fox-Fu? This is a mixed martial arts class that is a blend of practical self-defense skills from select martial arts.

    • No sport.
    • No traditional techniques to fight Samurai on horseback!
    • Nothing that won't work in real violence!

    Elements of the following martial arts make up most of the skill focus: American/Chinese Kenpo, Kali/Escrima (Filipino martial arts), Japanese & Brazillian Jui-jitsu, Muay Thai/kick boxing, and pressure points.

    We use a system of levels with increased knowledge and skill development as you progress. You will also be encouraged and supported if you choose a, longer term, martial arts lifestyle. The only system that I teach for a recognized belt rank is the International Karate Connection Association (IKCA) Chinese Kenpo. This is optional. Ask if interested. https://ikcakenpo.com/

    I coach you on simple to learn (easy to retain) defensive skills that give you a chance to stop a threat and escape in real-world self defense situations. Discussion of other training, such as the difference in martial arts types. I will even encourage you to consider focusing on specific styles that suit your long term goals and interest. I give you a foundational system for practical self defense no matter what martial art you are trained in or consider training in.

    • BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!!! Instruction includes a science education in the body and minds reactions during chaotic and fluid situations resulting fight or flight responses. I am a certified Instructor of PPCT - Human Factors Research Group. Certified to teach skills developed through tactical, legal and medical research as taught to military, security and law enforcement professionals. Learn to fight with simplicity and effectiveness while in the fight or flight mode! https://ppct.us/#courses

    Perfect for the average person, but also beneficial for martial artists of any style. Learn to deploy the instinctual "Air Bag" concept into your self-defense practice! The Tony Blauer High Gear padded suit (SPEAR system) is used to aid in SAFE and more realistic, scenario training. Scenario training is a vital component of any realistic self-defense training.

    Many martial artists miss out on this specific training that prepares for a street confrontation. A sport match with rules is not the same! The education is the more important part. The best fight is the one you just avoided! Learn Threat Pattern Recognition, the legal and moral aspects of legitimate self-defense, personal, home, and vehicle security, plus a little on emergency preparedness.

    Bad Things Happen. Are you prepared? Will you bet your life on it?

    A balance of personal safety education, conflict avoidance, and simple to learn self-defense skills. These are street effective, gross motor skills for stopping a threat and safely escaping.

    Best for the average adult and teens aged 15+.

    • Realistic scenario training (Padded suit used by coach).
    • Verbal de-escalation/conflict avoidance.
    • Pre-contact cues/behavior detection concepts.
    • Legal & moral aspects of using force.
    • Personal & home safety and security tips.
    • Emergency & disaster preparedness tips.
    • Simple (gross motor skill) self-defense strikes and escapes.
    • Improvised weapons.
    • Pepper spray lesson.
    • Discussion of other training and weapons options.

    All skills can be employed by any average adult/teen who has full body mobility.

    A more realistic and practical approach to defending against a violent attack from a knife, or other edged weapon. Also will include a pistol disarm. These techniques have been taught to law enforcement and military.

    Will you bet your life on the skills you have? This training is to give you a fighting chance in a nightmare situation.

    No flashy techniques that take a lot of continuous practice. These are gross motor skills (vs fine/complex) that are more practical to apply in a violent attack. This training is beneficial to everyone including single moms, martial artists, security and law enforcement.

    2.5 hrs dynamic classroom training w SIRT pistols. Dr Fox will give a prescription for live fire practice.

    This is cost saving, skill building training. Save money with no ammo or range fee. NOTE: Live fire practice is needed to confirm capability.

    Perfect for those who already has a Permit to Carry or only keep a pistol at home for defense.

    Topics covered include:

    • Drawing from the holster & concealment.
    • Aim and shoot accurately without using the sights! *Close range: typically within 12'.
    • Aim with sighted precision when able. More distance = more precision required.
    • Dynamic moving and shooting to survive a sudden attack (Get Off The X).
    • Shoot in low light situations WITHOUT a flashlight!

    ACCURACY: Important in that YOU are responsible for all shots fired. That includes shots that miss and may strike innocent people.

    THE PROBLEM: Close range-Reactive situations often result in the automatic responses of the body and mind to focus on the threat. In that moment you cannot focus on the sights at close range. Practice to move and get your sights as quickly as possible as the close range can change to longer distance shots as people run. Precision sighted fire becomes more imperative.

    SOULUTION: Live fire practice is still needed to evaluate and confirm proper grip, trigger control, sight alighment, and shot placement. Confirm your effectiveness of unsighted aiming (close range) and sighted aiming abilities, building confidence for actual defensive use not taught by most instructors.

    Science based & proven for real gunfights. The average defensive shooting starts less than 15 feet away and our instinctive response is to square up and lock our eyes on the threat. It is impossible to focus on the sights of the pistol in these moments experienced by both law enforcement and citizens in reactive situations.

    You still need to learn precision shooting. Many fights start close and then people run! We must practice precision sighted skills for accuracy when we are able to aim with more precision. When you have the opportunity to take that more precise shot YOU ARE ACCOUNTABLE for the shots you fire. Innocent people have been struck.

    After this, continue to seek more training with me AND other good instructors. practice in the areas you evaluate need improving. Don't forget to carry pepper spray and learn unarmed fighting skills for less-than-lethal situations.

    Will you bet your life on just taking a minimum required Permit class?

    I coach you on simple to learn (easy to retain) defensive skills that give you a chance to stop a threat and escape in real-world self defense situations. Discussion of other training, such as the difference in martial arts types. I will even encourage you to consider focusing on specific styles that suit your long term goals and interest. I give you a foundational system for practical self defense no matter what martial art you are trained in or consider training in.

    • BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!!! Instruction includes a science education in the body and minds reactions during chaotic and fluid situations resulting fight or flight responses. I am a certified Instructor of PPCT - Human Factors Research Group. Certified to teach skills developed through tactical, legal and medical research as taught to military, security and law enforcement professionals. Learn to fight with simplicity and effectiveness while in the fight or flight mode! https://ppct.us/#courses

    Perfect for the average person, but also beneficial for martial artists of any style. Learn to deploy the instinctual "Air Bag" concept into your self-defense practice! The Tony Blauer High Gear padded suit (SPEAR system) is used to aid in SAFE and more realistic, scenario training. Scenario training is a vital component of any realistic self-defense training.

    Many martial artists miss out on this specific training that prepares for a street confrontation. A sport match with rules is not the same! The education is the more important part. The best fight is the one you just avoided! Learn Threat Pattern Recognition, the legal and moral aspects of legitimate self-defense, personal, home, and vehicle security, plus a little on emergency preparedness.

    Bad Things Happen. Are you prepared? Will you bet your life on it?
