What You'll Learn

This course prepares you for carrying a firearm in the real world—not just owning one. Built on USCCA curriculum and enhanced through the GRIP training methodology, this class focuses on developing your awareness, control, and readiness under pressure so you can respond effectively when it matters most. Whether you’re new to concealed carry or building a stronger defensive foundation, this class develops your GRIP—your foundation of confidence, control, and readiness under pressure.

What You’ll Learn You’ll be guided through the realities of defensive firearm use and personal protection, including how your body and mind respond under stress—and how to use those reactions to your advantage: •Safe and responsible carry fundamentals •Comfort, confidence, and defensive competency concepts •Medical considerations for self-defense encounters •Close-contact defensive principles (creating space and managing threats) •Drawing and presentation from the holster •Building efficient, repeatable response mechanics

The Outcome You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of how to carry responsibly, move with purpose, and respond with control in a defensive encounter—not hesitation.

Cancellation Policy: Classes are non-refundable. Instructors require 48 hours notice to transfer to another class within 90 days of original scheduled date.
