Defensive Shooting Concepts

Overview:

Room Clearing Principles 101 is a class that was designed for those that want to take their understanding of Self Defense to the next level. Have you ever gotten up in the middle of the night to investigate a suspicious sound or noise? If you have, then you know how difficult and dangerous this can be. Did you understand the angles? Did you use them to assist you, not expose you? Anyone who faces danger in and around structures of any type any time of the day is now engaged in room clearing. This class will teach you the principles and tactics used successfully for many years during Deliberate and/or Dynamic clearing of rooms and structures. Understanding how to clear a structure quickly and effectively spotting the threats or dangers before they can spot you is key to survival in any active assailant situation in any environment. If you are looking for ways to improve your skill set and understanding of dangerous encounters, then this class is for you.
