The Tactical Tutor

Most violent encounters start with a warning you almost missed — this class trains you to spot pre-attack cues and manage unknown contacts before they become a fight. Over 2.5-3.5 hours, you'll learn the proven Ask, Tell, Make framework for handling non-compliant subjects with clear, defensible decision-making under stress. You'll also get hands-on instruction in the effective deployment of OC (pepper) spray, including when — and when not — to use it. This is a less-lethal, real-world curriculum built on situational awareness and sound judgment, not just gear. Whether you carry OC daily or just want to sharpen your ability to read and de-escalate threats, this class gives you the tools to protect yourself and others responsibly.

NOTE: Due to the role playing in this class, no CCW handguns should be worn to the class. Before the exercises, I will ensure that there is nothing that can shoot, cut, spray on any person.

NO LIVE OC SPRAY will be deployed during this class

Please bring eye protection to the class.

Cancellation, Transfer and Refund Policy

Class sizes are small, so every seat matters. Here's how cancellations work:

• 72 hours or more before class: Cancel for a full refund.
• 48 to 72 hours before class: No refund, but you can transfer your seat to a future date of the same class or to another person.
• Less than 48 hours before class: No refund and no transfer.
• No-shows: No refund. Arriving after the safety briefing counts as a no-show. The briefing comes first in every class, and I can't let anyone on the line who missed it.
• If I cancel (weather, range closure or emergency): You'll get a full refund or a credit toward a future class, your choice.

To cancel or transfer, email me at nate@thetacticaltutor.com. The time I receive your email sets which rule applies.
