SUMMARY:普通话家防枪支安全 Mandarin Home Defense and Firearm Safety 16MAR25
DESCRIPTION:多年来，最常见的培训请求是如何在发生入室盗窃时保护家人。在本课程中，我们试图了解犯罪分子的思维方式、入室盗窃是如何发生的，以及如何在城市空间范围内最好地使用枪支保护自己。 \n通过与 MPT 的优秀人员合作，我们现在能够为新枪械拥有者提供负担得起的本地教育，以回答您最重要的问题 \nOver the years\, the most frequent requests for training have been how to protect the family in the event of a burglary or home invasion. In this class\, we seek to understand how criminals think\, how break-ins and burglaries happen\, and how best to defend yourself with a firearm in the confines of the 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!  \n学： \n如何选择适合防御的枪械弹药\n如何通过枪支安全证书\n如何安全装卸和射击\n如何锁定和存放您的武器 \n加州枪支所有权法\n加州攻击性武器法\n加州枪支携带和运输法\n致命武力自卫法 \n犯罪心理学\n警察、法院、监狱以及美国法律体系的运作方式\n真实的自卫案例研究\n过度穿透、制动力、警告射击和射击腿部的神话和现实 \nLearn: \nHow to choose firearms and ammunition for defense\nHow to pass the Firearm Safety Certificate\nHow to safely load\, unload\, and shoot\nHow to lock and store your weapon \nCalifornia firearm ownership laws\nCalifornia assault weapon laws\nCalifornia firearm carry and transportation laws\nDeadly force self defense laws \nCriminal psychology\nPolice\, court\, jail\, and how the American legal system works\nReal self defense case studies\nMyths and reality of overpenetration\, stopping power\, warning shots\, and shooting the legs \n让我们面对现实吧。如果自卫很容易，你只需看几个视频，然后自己“弄清楚”。好人每天都会进监狱，因为他们不知道自己在做什么。好人每天都成为犯罪的受害者，因为他们不知道自己在做什么。好人每天都会受到伤害，因为他们不知道自己在做什么。枪械和自卫的研究是历史、科学、心理学和身体技能的复杂结合。武器不是玩具，如果使用不当可能会导致严重的安全和法律后果。 \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. \n本课程旨在向初学者全面介绍成功拥有枪支所需的态度、技能和知识。 \nThis class is designed to provide beginners with a solid introduction to the attitude\, skill\, and knowledge you need to succeed in firearm ownership. \n我叫王博睿。我从事枪支安全、自卫和枪支战斗使用方面的专业教学已有十一年了。  我自 2006 年起成为一名教师。我自 2007 年起开始训练中国传统功夫。我于 2010 年完成了狙击手学校的学业。自 2013 年起我获得了携带隐蔽武器的执照。我走遍全国向最好的导师学习，并参加最好的教练认证课程。我参加过战争，亲眼目睹朋友死去。我经历过巡航导弹、攻击直升机火箭、大炮、飞机轰炸、步兵战车30毫米口径机炮扫射和前线上疾病。我曾是入室盗窃、纵火、非法逮捕和家庭暴力的受害者。我在监狱里吃过博洛尼亚三明治，在法庭上赢过。我是一名父亲、丈夫和小企业主。我在佛罗里达州、德克萨斯州、亚利桑那州、阿肯色州、内华达州、乌克兰和加利福尼亚州教过 10\,000 多名学生。我拥有并经营占地 300 英亩的专用战术训练设施，距离湾区仅 1 小时路程。我很荣幸成为您的导师，并免费为您带来所有这些知识。 \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 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.

SUMMARY:Firearm Safety Class 22FEB25
DESCRIPTION:Monarch Defense’s Firearm Safety Class is the most important class we offer\, and the most important class you will ever take during your self defense training. That’s why it is now free. \nLet’s face it. If self defense was easy\, you could just watch a few videos\, and “figure it out” by yourself. If firearms were easy\, schools such as ours would have no reason to exist. But that’s just not reality. 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 amalgamation of history\, science\, psychology\, and physical skill. Weapons are not toys\, and if used improperly can result in serious safety or legal hazards to you and your loved ones. \nThe problem that I often face as a teacher is students who want the “advanced” stuff and want to skip the basics. Folks expect to just buy a gun\, and magically know how and when to shoot bad guys. Some people watch some videos and think they are ready to go straight into fast\, cool training\, but this isn’t how it works. “Advanced” is just another word for “mastery of the basics”. There is no such thing as advanced training; There are only those who have taken the time to develop their foundation\, and those who haven’t. When beginners show up to advanced training without a solid foundation of attitude\, skill\, and knowledge\, all they will find is frustration. Out on the street there are winners\, and there are losers; There are those who mastered the basics\, and those who found out the hard way that they didn’t. This program exists to prepare you for a successful future in protecting yourself\, so that you can make wise decisions regarding buying\, learning\, carrying\, and using firearms. \nOver the last 11 years teaching professionally\, I have strived to design a thorough hands on learning experience which answers all of the questions that you need to know to get started. Information that you can’t just find online\, such as the role of weapons in society\, why peaceful people would have a need for “weapons of war”\, specifically when you can and cannot shoot someone\, the actual crimes that you can prevent with a gun\, real self defense case studies\, hands on comparison between the different types of guns\, so you can understand their real capabilities and limitations (not just Hollywood)\, proper gun handling procedures\, and live fire demonstrations. \nYou will handle and shoot a wide variety of modern firearms\, including pistols\, revolvers\, rifles\, and shotguns. \nLocation: \nOur facility is in the mountains 1 hour east from San Jose\, or 1 hour south from Livermore. If you are an unskilled or inexperienced driver\, give yourself 2 hours to make the drive from most cities of the bay area. We will email detailed driving instructions to you when you sign up. \nSchedule:  \nWe begin together and end together. If you sign up\, plan to stay until we debrief and clean up. \nThis is a two part class: Firearm Safety Class starts at 8am and ends at roughly 4pm. We do not stop for lunch\, although you may bring food and eat during class. The live fire portion of the class is optional and starts at 4pm and goes until about 6pm\, depending on how fast the class learns. \nPrerequisites: \nNone \nRequired Equipment:  \nNotebook and writing utensil\nWater\nSnacks\nLunch\nDress for the weather\nPrescription glasses\, safety glasses\, or sunglasses\nEarplugs or ear muffs\nFirearms are provided\, but you may also bring your own. \nCancellations: \nWe do not offer refunds for discretionary cancellations. If you wish to reschedule a class\, you must email info@monarchdefense.org no later than 1 hour prior to class start\, and you will then be credited with the value of your course\, which you can gift to someone else or use for any future class within 1 year. \nQuestions?

SUMMARY:Beginner's Live Fire Range Day 12JAN25
DESCRIPTION:Continue your firearms training in a beginner friendly and low pressure environment. Class sizes are small so you have great hands-on time with all the different guns and close attention from your instructors. Practice loading\, unloading\, aiming and shooting various firearms. See which type of weapon suits your body and your self defense needs. Gain confidence in safe gun handling before making your first firearm purchase or continuing onto more advanced training. You will handle and shoot a wide variety of modern firearms\, including pistols\, revolvers\, rifles\, and shotguns. All equipment and ammunition is provided. \nLocation: \nOur facility is in the mountains 1 hour east from San Jose\, or 1 hour south from Livermore. If you are an unskilled or inexperienced driver\, give yourself 2 hours to make the drive from most cities of the bay area. We will email detailed driving instructions to you when you sign up. \nSchedule:  \nWe begin together and end together. If you sign up\, plan to stay until we debrief and clean up. \nThis is part 2 of a 2-part class due to early sunset during winter months. We start at 9am with review and refresher of topics we discussed in Firearm Safety Class\, then loading\, unloading\, weapons handling for the variety of firearms\, then shooting practice and clean up. We plan to finish at 3pm\, which allows for a more relaxed schedule\, and more shooting time. We do not stop for lunch\, although you may bring food and eat during class. \nPrerequisites: \nFirearm Safety Class \nRequired Equipment:  \nNotebook and writing utensil\nWater\nSnacks\nLunch\nDress for the weather\nPrescription glasses\, safety glasses\, or sunglasses\nEarplugs or ear muffs\nFirearms are provided\, but you may also bring your own. \nCancellations: \nWe do not offer refunds for discretionary cancellations.

SUMMARY:Firearm Safety Class 21DEC24
DESCRIPTION:Monarch Defense’s Firearm Safety Class is the most important class we offer\, and the most important class you will ever take during your self defense training. That’s why it is now free. \nLet’s face it. If self defense was easy\, you could just watch a few videos\, and “figure it out” by yourself. If firearms were easy\, schools such as ours would have no reason to exist. But that’s just not reality. 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 amalgamation of history\, science\, psychology\, and physical skill. Weapons are not toys\, and if used improperly can result in serious safety or legal hazards to you and your loved ones. \nThe problem that I often face as a teacher is students who want the “advanced” stuff and want to skip the basics. Folks expect to just buy a gun\, and magically know how and when to shoot bad guys. Some people watch some videos and think they are ready to go straight into fast\, cool training\, but this isn’t how it works. “Advanced” is just another word for “mastery of the basics”. There is no such thing as advanced training; There are only those who have taken the time to develop their foundation\, and those who haven’t. When beginners show up to advanced training without a solid foundation of attitude\, skill\, and knowledge\, all they will find is frustration. Out on the street there are winners\, and there are losers; There are those who mastered the basics\, and those who found out the hard way that they didn’t. This program exists to prepare you for a successful future in protecting yourself\, so that you can make wise decisions regarding buying\, learning\, carrying\, and using firearms. \nOver the last 11 years teaching professionally\, I have strived to design a thorough hands on learning experience which answers all of the questions that you need to know to get started. Information that you can’t just find online\, such as the role of weapons in society\, why peaceful people would have a need for “weapons of war”\, specifically when you can and cannot shoot someone\, the actual crimes that you can prevent with a gun\, real self defense case studies\, hands on comparison between the different types of guns\, so you can understand their real capabilities and limitations (not just Hollywood)\, proper gun handling procedures\, and live fire demonstrations. \nYou will handle and shoot a wide variety of modern firearms\, including pistols\, revolvers\, rifles\, and shotguns. \nLocation: \nOur facility is in the mountains 1 hour east from San Jose\, or 1 hour south from Livermore. If you are an unskilled or inexperienced driver\, give yourself 2 hours to make the drive from most cities of the bay area. We will email detailed driving instructions to you when you sign up. \nSchedule:  \nWe begin together and end together. If you sign up\, plan to stay until we debrief and clean up. \nThis is a two part class: Firearm Safety Class starts at 9am and ends at roughly 3pm. We do not stop for lunch\, although you may bring food and eat during class. Beginner’s Live Fire Range day starts at 3pm and goes until 7pm\, or later\, depending on how fast the class learns. In the winter\, we split the class into two separate days\, with the live fire portion of training move to 9am start on a separate day. See upcoming events calendar for details. In the warmer months\, we offer them back to back on the same day\, so if you sign up to shoot\, clear your schedule and plan to be at the facility for the entire day. \nPrerequisites: \nNone \nRequired Equipment:  \nNotebook and writing utensil\nWater\nSnacks\nLunch\nDress for the weather\nPrescription glasses\, safety glasses\, or sunglasses\nEarplugs or ear muffs\nFirearms are provided\, but you may also bring your own. \nCancellations: \nWe do not offer refunds for discretionary cancellations. If you wish to reschedule a class\, you must email info@monarchdefense.org no later than 1 hour prior to class start\, and you will then be credited with the value of your course\, which you can gift to someone else or use for any future class within 1 year. \nQuestions?
