Defensive Pistol

Defensive Pistol Basics

This 2-part class provides a solid foundation for proficient firearms retention and application. We begin with Professor Turner at Martial Arts of Waco by learning how to control the weapon in a fight. We use practical jiu jitsu to maximize weapon(s) retention, empty-hand defense and weapon(s) presentation techniques.

Then we move to the live fire range with Dagger 8 Armory, applying Fundamentals of Marksmanship and dynamic engagement tactics to effectively suppress a threat. Students are taught to Move & Shoot, how to properly use Cover vs. Concealment and rapid target acquisition techniques.

Day 01 : Defend Your Gun (2 hrs)

Day 02 : Defend Yourself (2 hrs)
