What is Pistol Defense Fundamentals?

Pistol Defense Fundamentals is the essential first step for anyone serious about civilian legal self-defense. In just one class, you'll replace static range habits with dynamic, real-world techniques that prepare you to respond quickly and decisively under pressure. This is where your defensive pistol training truly begins - with confidence, clarity, and control.

The hard truth? Most firearms training in Florida stops short of what actually works in a life-threatening encounter. If you're relying on casual range time or YouTube videos, you're likely forming habits that could fail you when every second matters. Hesitation, poor grip, or misaligned priorities in a crisis can lead to tragic consequences.

This course promises to give you the tools and mindset to act - not freeze - when danger strikes. You'll gain the foundation to shoot accurately under stress and start developing the mental framework of someone who’s truly prepared.

During this 7-hour class, you’ll:

Develop proper grip, stance, and draw stroke - essentials for consistent, confident handling
Practice trigger control and reloading techniques to improve your handling
Get immediate feedback on common mistakes and how to fix them
Leave knowing exactly what to practice next

More than just a class—this is a system.

Pistol Defense Fundamentals is priced for accessibility but delivers high-impact training usually reserved for law enforcement or military. It’s beginner-friendly, milestone-based, and built to plug directly into our 3-level progression system, so you always know what’s next.
