SUMMARY:Introduction to Handguns 5APR25
DESCRIPTION:Over the years I have found that the vast majority of beginner students are interested in purchasing a handgun\, and learning how to use it safely\, effectively\, and competently. This class is for you. \nHandguards are inherently challenging to use\, and are dangerous to yourself and your family if used improperly. Having said that\, if you wish to use a firearm for self defense\, whether inside the home or out in public\, invariably you will need to learn the pistol or revolver\, because it is most likely what you will have when you need it most. \nIn this class\, we seek to understand how handguns work\, how to safely load\, unload\, and clear malfunctions\, and how best to defend yourself with a pistol or revolver in an urban space. Through partnership with the wonderful folks at MPT\, we are now able to offer affordable\, local education to new firearm owners to answer your most important questions!  \nLearn: \nHow to choose a pistol or revolver for defense\nHow to choose self defense ammunition\nHow to pass the Firearm Safety Certificate\nHow to lock and store your weapon \nHow to load and unload\nHow to clear malfunctions\nHow to hold\, aim\, and fire\nHow to move safely with the weapon \nReal self defense case studies\nMyths and reality of tactical anatomy\, stopping power\, and magazine capacity\nIntroduction to concealed carry\nFirearm cleaning\, disassembly\, and maintenance \nLet’s face it. If self defense was easy\, you could just watch a few videos\, and “figure it out” by yourself. Good people go to jail every day\, because they don’t know what they are doing. Good people become victims of crime every day\, because they don’t know what they are doing. Good people get hurt every day because they don’t know what they are doing. The study of firearms and self defense is a complex mixture of history\, science\, psychology\, and physical skill. Weapons are not toys\, and if used improperly can result in serious safety and legal consequences. \nThis class is designed to provide beginners with a solid introduction to the attitude\, skill\, and knowledge you need to succeed in firearm ownership. \nMy name is Brian Wang. I have been teaching firearm safety\, self defense\, and the combat use of firearms for 11 years professionally.  I have been a teacher since 2006. I have trained kung fu since 2007. I completed sniper school in 2010. I have been licensed to carry a concealed weapon since 2013. I have traveled the country to learn from the best mentors and take the best instructor certification programs available. I have been to war and watched friends die. I have survived a cruise missile\, attack helicopter rockets\, artillery\, aerial bombing\, strafing by infantry fighting vehicle 30mm auto cannon\, and disease on the front lines. I have been the victim of burglary\, arson\, unlawful arrest\, and domestic violence. I have eaten bologna sandwiches in jail\, and won in court. I am a father and a husband and a small business owner. I have taught over 10\,000 students in Florida\, Texas\, Arizona\, Arkansas\, Nevada\, Ukraine\, and California. I own and operate at 300 acre dedicated tactical training facility only 1 hour from the bay area. It is my honor to be your instructor\, and to bring you all of this knowledge for free. \nI have striven to design a thorough hands on learning experience\, with the most detail in the shortest time possible. Expect 50% of your class to be lecture and discussion\, and 50% to be hands on with guns\, shooting\, and moving.

Thus\, all students of self defense gunfighting should learn how to fight and move and problem solve in the urban environment\, right? \nOh\, but in our industry there is a magical aura around ‘Close Quarter Battle’\, you have to whisper the words…This dark magic is only for the elite\, The Special Navy Delta Recon Green Power Rangers… Yet\, once you actually get in front of one of these “Tier 1” instructors\, you realize that their professional experience has absolutely no bearing on the life and reality of normal people. You hear such nonsense as “I don’t teach CQB to civilians”\, “you cannot do CQB by yourself”\, “kneel down when reloading so your buddies can shoot over the top of your head then wait until someone grabs your armor to pull you up”…Does any instructor have a program that teaches regular civilians how to fight\, defend\, and win inside and around cars\, parking lots\, gas stations\, homes\, and businesses? \nWe do.  \nIn this day of training\, let’s capitalize on the cool fall weather to run high volume\, high round count repetition drills that practice and realistically simulate the movement\, and skills necessary to win a modern day defensive gunfight. Shake out your gear\, build confidence in your ability to safely move with your weapon. Draw from the holster\, and practice teamwork and partner drills.   \n\n\n\nPrerequisite: \n\n\n\nYou must have prior safe weapons handling experience to attend this seminar.  \n\n\n\nTopics:  \n\n\n\nMoving safely with firearmsMuzzle direction\, finger discipline\, fire selector manipulationFootwork for sidestep and turn and faceOne hand and two hand draw from holsterLong gun to sidearm transitionShooting and movingOne handed shooting and hand changeBill DrillEl PresidenteIstanbul DrillMozambique DrillEli Dicken Drill…and many other drills! \nLocation: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n300 acre private facility in the Diablo mountains 1 hour east of San Jose\, 1 hour south of Livermore.
