Saturday Morning Rogue Methods Course
Welcome to an exciting day of hands on self defense training. Protecting oneself is incredibly important, and this training will help you gain confidence and skill. There may be a time where fighting is the only option and so we should have a system in place to get us through that. We will practice escaping from close range situations, unarmed and armed either with firearms or knives. Programming and drilling vital techniques inspired by natural movements that are easy to understand, practice and quickly put to use in training. Standing, and ground escape movements. Striking and grappling for the sake getting away to safety. We know this training will help you feel so much more equipped when confronted with danger. Let’s do this together!

SUnday Morning course
Moving and shooting
Why is this important?
BEcause you don't defend yourself shooting like how you do at an indoor shooting range. You're going to need to know how to move, aim different angles, reload and keep your cool. This will be a great way to be able to practice real life in a fun way where it isnt' too serious and will definitely push your training to the test. Shoot different distances, learn an introduction to what competition shooting looks like and so much more! This will by far probably be your most favorite part of the whole weekend plus we can bring out demo guns for you to try that you may have never gotten the chance to before!
