Defensive Carbine Essentials: Performance

Course Description

This *limited space* Advanced Defensive Carbine Course is designed for students who already possess a solid foundation in defensive carbine skills and are ready to operate at a higher level. This course focuses on refining efficiency, decision-making, and performance during dynamic critical incidents rather than introducing basic concepts.

All principles of the Intuitive Defensive® Shooting program are applied at an advanced level, with an emphasis on true Counter Ambush application, performance under pressure, and problem-solving in realistic environments. Students will be challenged to identify and eliminate inefficiencies while developing a sustainable methodology for continued skill progression.
