Our Story:
Historically, there has been two primary offerings in the self-defense industry; firearms training and martial arts/fight training. To this day, a majority of self-defense entities offer either one or the other. Not until recently have the two worlds merged into a unified training system.
In the middle TN area, there are many ranges that offer firearms classes to include everything from concealed carry license to CQB. However, when doing such training the student has unrestricted access to their firearm. Meaning the student can draw the weapon without contention. Similarly, there are many martial arts schools that offer a variety of disciplines in combat and/or sport. Students in this type of training generally do so without the involvement of a weapon (with exception to those traditional to the art).
We are here to bridge the gap! Our classes are combative in nature, but include the realism of the presentation of a weapon under physical contention. We also educate students on the articulation of justified use of force.
