Our Situational Awareness Class is approximately 2 hours long and taught in our classroom. In this class, we discuss how to prepare for, prevent, and react to, potentially threatening situations that could be encountered at any time and in any place. Our experience has taught us that a “dedication to constant de-escalation” will serve you well! We discuss the proper attitude or mindset as applied to everyday life, carrying concealed (if applicable) and how to apply this mindset to home defense. A little preparation and mental training will go a long way! Being the one who remains calm in a crisis is incredibly powerful.
Requirements: No firearms experience necessary. While this class is geared towards people who carry or train with firearms, it is just as applicable for those who don’t own or carry firearms.
