Defensive Pistol Level 1 is a course of training designed to help you, as a responsible citizen, be more efficient with a pistol in the context of real world self defense.
It is not focused on simply making you the best marksman on a bull’s eye. Rather the goal is to help you quickly develop fundamental skills that you will actually apply in a worst case scenario a.k.a. caught off guard in a sudden, unprovoked attack.
The coursework is based on information about how the body works under stress and what really happens during fights. The program features a variety of specialty drills and training methods that you will be able to utilize in your own practice after the course in order to continue to develop your skills.
This course is two full days of intense training and practice.
The course will cover the following topics:
– Basic firearms safety
– Context of civilian defensive shooting
– How the body reacts under stress
– Defining accuracy and efficiency
– Grip, Stance, Trigger control
– Unsighted and sighted fire
– Fundamentals of deviation control & recoil management
– Presentation from the holster

– Getting off the line of attack
– Assessment and processing information
