SUMMARY:Home Defense and Firearm Safety 1MAR25
DESCRIPTION:Over 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! \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 \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 guided missile\, helicopter rockets\, artillery bombardment\, aviation bombs\, strafing by infantry fighting vehicle cannon\, and disease. 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 strived 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. You will handle and learn about a variety of modern firearms\, including pistols\, revolvers\, carbines\, and shotguns. \nLocation: \nThis class is taught at MPT\, a gun shop. The address is 1331 Jacklin Rd\, Milpitas\, CA 95035. \nSchedule:  \nWe meet at 1:30pm. If you have to come in a bit late\, don’t worry\, just come when you can. If you can’t come\, please do email admin@monarchdefense.org to let us know so we can give your ticket to someone else\, since space is limited. We will end formally at 6:30pm\, although the store will remain open and staff will be present until 7:00pm if you want to continue practicing\, take your Firearm Safety Certificate\, or ask any questions. \nPrerequisites: \nNone \nRequired Equipment:  \nNotebook and writing utensil\nPrescription glasses or clear safety glasses\nFirearms and ammunition 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? Call Brian at 408-892-5460 or email info@monarchdefense.org.

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:PDW\, PCC\, and AR Pistol 9FEB25
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to the Winter 2024-2025 Urban Series! This program consists of nine seminars spanning October through March\, that will cover everything you need to know about how to use a modern pistol\, shotgun\, and carbine\, how to navigate and your way through rooms\, doorways\, hallways\, and how to understand the weapon’s role in the greater tactical framework of modern crime\, home defense\, concealed carry\, and SHTF (Shit Hit The Fan\, natural disaster\, civil unrest\, etc.). \nWe’ll start with the basics\, going all the way into low light gunfighting\, close quarter battle\, teamwork and tactics\, force on force training with real live adversaries who shoot and stab back\, how to calibrate and use red dots on your pistol\, how to shoot your pistol with speed and precision\, patterning buckshot\, how bullets go through walls and cars\, and so much more! \nEach 10 hour day of training brings you exciting new opportunities for niche topics\, specialized equipment such as Simunition non-lethal weapons and ammunition\, moving targets\, live fire inside our ballistic shoot house\, from inside a vehicle\, and lots of full speed shooting and moving repetition from the holster to build up your confidence! Meet new friends and mentors along the way as you train together class after class! Don’t have gear? Don’t worry\, we supply all weapons\, ammunition\, holsters\, and protective equipment; All you need to do is bring yourself\, a good attitude\, and a belt.  \nIf you need to change or reschedule\, simply email me.  \nWant to join more than 6 classes? Buy the package\, and add additional classes in the series for only $56 each! We aim to take care of our loyal students. \nDates included in this series:  \nOctober 19th\, 2024 – Principles of Close Quarter BattleNovember 16th\, 2024 – High Intensity Gunfight DrillsNovember 24th\, 2024 – Fundamentals of PistolcraftDecember 14th\, 2024 –  Home Defense ShotgunDecember 15th\, 2024 – Live Fire Solo CQBJanuary 11th\, 2025 – Performance PistolJanuary 26th\, 2025 – Fundamentals of PistolcraftFebruary 8th\, 2025 – Partner Force on Force CQBFebruary 9th\, 2025 – PDW\, PCC\, and AR PistolsMarch 8th\, 2025 – Advanced Concealed Handgun \nIf a private citizen must conduct armed self defense\, it will invariably be within the urban environment\, such as in and around cars\, parking lots\, homes\, offices\, or local businesses. Thus\, all students of self defense gunfighting should learn how to fight and move and problem solve in the context of urban environment. \nPrerequisite: \nYou must have prior safe weapons handling experience to attend this seminar.  \nTopics:  \nIn this class we expand our scope of concealed carry and home defense skills to include a variety of compact\,  folding\, portable\, concealable weapons known by an assortment of names\, such as Personal Defense Weapon\, Pistol Caliber Carbine\, AR Pistol\, but which all serve the same purpose: to give a defender a two handed shoulder fired weapon which is much more capable than a typical handgun\, yet still allows conceal-ability and portability. We will compare many different calibers and models of weapons for their manual of arms\, ease of handling\, ballistic performance\, recoil control\, portability\, design shortcomings\, effective range\, accuracy\, armor penetration\, and lethality.  \nThe following is a non-exhaustive list of suitable types of weapons that will really shine during this unique training:  \nKel Tec Sub2000AR15 pistol in 9mm AR15 pistols in 5.56mm or 300blackoutRuger PCCHeckler and Koch MP-5 and derivativesKel Tec RDBAK pistols\, AKSU etc.Folding or backpacking .22 caliber riflesM1 CarbineFN PS90 and AR-57 in 5.7x28mm Compact lever action riflesPistol chassis systems such as Flux\, Micro Roni\, FAB Defense KPOS \nLocation: \n300 acre private facility in the Diablo mountains 1 hour east of San Jose\, 1 hour south of Livermore. Cell reception is unreliable out here; Do not trust Apple Maps\, Google Maps\, or Wayz. Detailed driving directions will be emailed to those who register. 2 wheel drive accessible. \nPacking list:  \nSturdy shoesBeltPistol or revolver optional (school can provide weapons free of charge\, contact us for info)Carbine or PDW4+ magazines250 rounds of ammunition\, or pay for school ammoCleaning kit with oil\, rag\, toothbrush\, barrel rodEye protectionEar protection Tools for mounting and adjusting sightsNotebook and pencil1 gallon of waterSalty snacks and bag lunch \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\nWhat is the cancellation policy?\n\nWe do not issue refunds\, except for in extreme and unforeseeable circumstances. Notify us by email at info@monarchdefense.org before 1 hour before class starts\, and we will happily apply your full credit towards a future event or class. You must use your credit within 1 calendar year from original event or class date.

SUMMARY:Firearm Safety Class 25JAN25
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 7am and ends at roughly 3pm. 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 3pm and goes until about 5pm\, 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:Performance Pistol 11JAN25
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to the Winter 2024-2025 Urban Series! This program consists of nine seminars spanning October through March\, that will cover everything you need to know about how to use a modern pistol\, shotgun\, and carbine\, how to navigate and your way through rooms\, doorways\, hallways\, and how to understand the weapon’s role in the greater tactical framework of modern crime\, home defense\, concealed carry\, and SHTF (Shit Hit The Fan\, zombies\, natural disaster\, civil unrest\, etc.). We’ll start with the basics\, going all the way into low light gunfighting\, close quarter battle\, teamwork and tactics\, force on force training with real live adversaries who shoot and stab back\, how to calibrate and use red dots on your pistol\, how to shoot your pistol with speed and precision\, patterning buckshot\, how bullets go through walls and cars\, and so much more! \nEach 10 hour day of training brings you exciting new opportunities for niche topics\, specialized equipment such as Simunition non-lethal weapons and ammunition\, moving targets\, live fire inside our ballistic shoot house from inside a vehicle\, and lots of full speed shooting and moving repetition from the holster to build up your confidence! Meet new friends and mentors along the way as you train together class after class! Don’t have gear? Don’t worry\, we supply all weapons\, ammunition\, holsters\, and protective equipment; All you need to do is bring yourself\, a good attitude\, and a belt.  \nPick your package of any 6 classes\, and email to me the dates to info@monarchdefense.org of the classes you wish to join. Mix and match whatever fits your skill level\, your schedule\, and your interests. If you need to change or reschedule\, simply email me.  \nWant to join more than 6 classes? Buy the package\, and add additional classes in the series for only $56 each! Sounds crazy\, right? We aim to take care of our loyal students. Ready to look at your calendar? \nDates included in this series:  \nOctober 19th\, 2024 – Principles of Close Quarter BattleNovember 16th\, 2024 – High Intensity Gunfight DrillsNovember 24th\, 2024 – Fundamentals of PistolcraftDecember 14th\, 2024 –  Home Defense ShotgunDecember 15th\, 2024 – Live Fire Solo CQBJanuary 11th\, 2025 – Performance PistolJanuary 26th\, 2025 – Fundamentals of PistolcraftFebruary 8th\, 2025 – Partner Force on Force CQBFebruary 9th\, 2025 – PDW\, PCC\, and AR PistolsMarch 8th\, 2025 – Advanced Concealed Handgun \nIf a private citizen must conduct armed self defense\, it will invariably be within the urban environment\, such as in and around cars\, parking lots\, homes\, offices\, or local businesses. 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. In fact\, you can think of all self defense weapons training as fundamentally close quarter battle training.  \nIn this class we pick up where Fundamentals of Pistolcraft leaves off. Whereas that class lays out the primary skills regarding pistol shooting\, in this class we will focus on the fine tuning\, optimization\, data gathering\, and details of speed and extreme pistol shooting performance.   \nPrerequisite: \nYou must have prior safe weapons handling experience to attend this seminar.  \nTopics:  \nStanceGripRecoil control Trigger pressSight alignmentDraw efficiencyZeroing pistol red dotsPistol bullet trajectory and holdoversGathering data and metrics on your pistol shooting speed and accuracyEli Dicken DrillTueller DrillBill DrillJack Wilson DrillIstanbul DrillEl Presidente Drill1-2-3-4-5 DrillMozambique DrillStephen Willeford Drill \nLocation: \n300 acre private facility in the Diablo mountains 1 hour east of San Jose\, 1 hour south of Livermore. Cell reception is unreliable out here; Do not trust Apple Maps\, Google Maps\, or Wayz. Detailed driving directions will be emailed to those who register. 2 wheel drive accessible. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n \nPacking list:  \nSturdy shoesBeltPistol or revolver (school can provide weapons free of charge\, contact us for info)Holster4+ magazines500+ rounds of ammunitionCleaning kit with oil\, rag\, toothbrush\, barrel rodEye protectionEar protection Tools for mounting and adjusting sightsNotebook and pencil1 gallon of waterSalty snacks and bag lunch \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\nWhat is the cancellation policy?\n\nWe do not issue refunds\, except for in extreme and unforeseeable circumstances.

Ready to look at your calendar?   \nDates included in this series:  \nOctober 19th\, 2024 – Principles of Close Quarter BattleNovember 16th\, 2024 – High Intensity Gunfight DrillsNovember 24th\, 2024 – Fundamentals of PistolcraftDecember 14th\, 2024 –  Home Defense ShotgunDecember 15th\, 2024 – Live Fire Solo CQBJanuary 11th\, 2025 – Performance PistolJanuary 26th\, 2025 – Fundamentals of PistolcraftFebruary 8th\, 2025 – Partner Force on Force CQBFebruary 9th\, 2025 – PDW\, PCC\, and AR PistolsMarch 8th\, 2025 – Advanced Concealed Handgun \nIf a private citizen must conduct armed self defense\, it will invariably be within the urban environment\, such as in and around cars\, parking lots\, homes\, offices\, or local businesses. 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 specialty seminar let’s understand the unique tool that is the shotgun. Shotguns have a long history of defensive usage\, but they have significant advantages in some ways\, and significant disadvantages in others. Compare and contrast the the performance\, ease of use\, cost\, and complexity of semi automatic shotguns versus pump action shotguns\, 12 gauge versus 20 gauge shotguns\, 00 buckshot vs #1 buckshot\, vs #2\, 3\, and 4 buckshot. Consider the purpose and proper usage of slugs. Learn how various loads will pattern for your particular gun\, barrel length and choke. Gather tips on how to accessorize your weapon\, how to use it in low light conditions\, and how to introduce the idea of a shotgun for home defense to your spouse and family members.   \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\nWhat is a shotgun?What does it do? What do we do with it? Buckshot\, birdshot\, and slugPenetration and terminal ballisticsChoke\, barrel length\, bore selectionPump vs SemiSighting systems and methodsEmergency port loadTactical reloadLoading to cruiser readyRight hand and left hand manipulationClearing malfunctionsPatterning buckshotSlug select drillsHands on shooting and moving practiceLow light shooting drills \nLocation: \n\n\n\n\n\nOur facility is in the mountains 1 hour east of San Jose\, 1 hour south from Livermore. Detail directions will be emailed to those who sign up. If you are inexperienced in driving mountain roads\, give yourself 2 hours to make the trip. \nPacking list:  \n\n\n\nSturdy bootsSturdy pantsBeltLong sleeve shirt or jacketGlovesLayer garments so you can adjust for cold\, wet\, or warm weatherHatShotgun (We can provide weapons and equipment free of charge\, contact us for details)200+ rounds of ammunition\, or pay $80 for ammo when you register150 birdshot\, no steel shot25 buckshot25 slugCleaning kit with oil\, rag\, toothbrush\, barrel rodClear eye protectionEar protection 1 gallon of waterSalty snacks and bag lunchFlashlightNotebook and pen \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nCancellations: \nWe do not offer refunds for discretionary cancellations.

SUMMARY:Firearm Safety Class 23NOV24
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. In the warmer months\, we offer them back to back. 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?

Buy the package\, and add additional classes in the series for only $56 each! Sounds crazy\, right? We aim to take care of our loyal students. Ready to look at your calendar?   \nDates included in this series:  \nOctober 19th\, 2024 – Principles of Close Quarter BattleNovember 16th\, 2024 – High Intensity Gunfight DrillsNovember 24th\, 2024 – Fundamentals of PistolcraftDecember 14th\, 2024 –  Home Defense ShotgunDecember 15th\, 2024 – Live Fire Solo CQBJanuary 11th\, 2025 – Performance PistolJanuary 26th\, 2025 – Fundamentals of PistolcraftFebruary 8th\, 2025 – Partner Force on Force CQBFebruary 9th\, 2025 – PDW\, PCC\, and AR PistolsMarch 8th\, 2025 – Advanced Concealed Handgun \nIf a private citizen must conduct armed self defense\, it will invariably be within the urban environment\, such as in and around cars\, parking lots\, homes\, offices\, or local businesses. 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 specialty seminar let’s understand the unique environment that buildings entail for modern day defensive gunfighting. We can begin by understanding the context of military style CQB doctrine\, and how the goals of military or police in offense are very different from the goals of civilians in defense\, yet the basic principles remain unchanged. Compare and contrast the major schools of thought between charging directly into rooms\, versus methodically clearing rooms from the doorway. Learn how to maximize the strengths of cover and concealment afforded by doorways and hallways\, while overcoming the challenges of restricted and narrow terrain. Gather specific tips on footwork\, how to move\, and how to win against a live opponent who fights back.  \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\nWhat is Close Quarter Battle?Stalingrad 1942\, the birth of modern urban fighting doctrineFighting foot forwardAngles\, angles\, anglesKnowns vs. unknowns2 types of entry2 types of rooms2 types of corners2 types of doorHuman reaction timeAdvantages of the defenseAdvantages of the offenseForce on force practical exercise \n\n\n\n\n\nLocation: \nOur facility is in the mountains 1 hour east of San Jose\, 1 hour south from Livermore.

Then the price will go back to standard price. Each class is action packed and 10 hours long. If you have a schedule conflict\, you may simply mix and match with future class dates\, to customize your package to your schedule. Email Brian at info@monarchdefense.org for details.  \nFall 2024 Combat Rifle Series dates: \n  \nFall 2024 Combat Rifle Series dates: \nBasic Combat Rifle\, Saturday 31st of August\, 2024.Live Fire Battle Drills\, Saturday 14th of September\, 2024.Fundamentals of Riflecraft\, Saturday 29th of September\, 2024.Combat Rifle Optics\, Saturday 12th of October\, 2024. Close Quarters Combat Rifle\, Saturday November 9th\, 2024.Advanced Combat Rifle\, Saturday December 7th\, 2024.  \nAlternate Dates: (In case you miss the earlier dates and still want to join for the later advanced classes) \nBasic Combat Rifle\, Saturday 27th of October\, 2024.Fundamentals of Riflecraft\, Sunday 10th of November\, 2024. \nPrerequisite: \n\n\n\nYou must have prior safe weapons handling experience.  \n\n\n\nDescription:  \nLive Fire Battle Drills will utilize all of the hard skills we learned in Basic Combat Rifle\, and then add a tactical and teamwork component\, to provide students with context as to how and when we use rifles in human conflict. We will learn the 7 basic battle drills\, which form the building blocks for all small unit tactical maneuver\, and then practice them methodically and safely with live fire\, first individually\, then as partners\, then as fire teams. Battle drills are pre-planned reactions with coordinated teamwork that you can initiate rapidly and instinctively without lengthy discussions or planning during the heat of battle.  \nAnytime we are practicing teamwork in conjunction with live ammunition\, student safety becomes the paramount priority. Hence\, You can expect the pace of this class to be slow and methodical for most of the day as we learn and practice new skills\, culminating in high intensity shooting\, moving\, and communicating drills during the final hours of daylight as it cools down.  \nWe provide all equipment you need for training.

SUMMARY:Night Combat Rifle 10AUG24
DESCRIPTION:Originally\, my plan was for us to conduct close quarter battle\, night optics training\, and live fire battle drills\, all three modules of training during just two days of Advanced Combat Rifle. As we found though\, this was just too ambitious. Thus\, I have re-adjusted the curriculum into individual modules\, so if folks who wish to focus on learning just one topic\, they have the opportunity to do so\, with greater convenience than an overnight weekend.   \nPrerequisite: \n\n\n\nYou must have prior safe weapons handling experience.  \n\n\n\nDescription:  \nNight Combat Rifle will review everything we learned in Basic Combat Rifle\, then add the use of night vision and thermal optics\, such that students learn to work around the challenges of night time operations\, and can begin to gain the advantages that darkness can provide in conflict. We will learn how how to select equipment\, how to mount night vision on a helmet\, how to calibrate an Infrared laser for shooting in the dark\, and how to use and calibrate a thermal scope. We will conduct an assortment of moving\, shooting\, and weapons manipulation training\, to practice the same skills we have learned previously in the daytime\, at night. You can expect the pace of this class to be slow and methodical\, as in the dark\, your safety is more important than trying to be fast.  \nWhereas in Basic Combat Rifle I really encourage the students to strip down their weapons to the bare basics\, Night Combat Rifle is the time to learn and understand how to use your lasers\, weapon mounted lights and night sights\, and head mounted night vision.  \nWe provide rifles\, lasers\, helmets\, night vision\, and thermal scopes. You do not need to bring your own in order to attend this class. If you have your own gear\, you are welcome to bring and use it.  \nLocation: \nOur facility is in the mountains 1 hour east of San Jose\, 1 hour south from Livermore. Detail directions will be emailed to those who sign up. \nPacking list:  \n\n\n\nSturdy bootsSturdy pantsBeltLong sleeve shirt or jacketGlovesLayer garments so you can adjust for cold\, wet\, or warm weatherHatRifle with 4+ magazines Magazine carrier 250+ rounds of ammunitionCleaning kit with oil\, rag\, toothbrush\, barrel rodTools for mounting and adjusting your opticsSpare batteries for lights\, night vision\, lasersIndividual first aid kit (IFAK)Eye protectionEar protection 1 gallon of water per daySalty snacks and bag lunch \nWe have carbines\, magazines\, magazine carriers\, pistols\, holsters and ammunition for you.

SUMMARY:Defensive Handgun Fundamentals 14APR24
DESCRIPTION:Defensive Handgun Fundamentals is a full day immersive class designed for beginner and intermediate students who have completed Monarch Defense’s 6 hour Firearm Safety Class\, and wish to deepen their understanding of self defense using a pistol or revolver\, and concealed carry. \nWe start where Firearm Safety Class leaves off\, defining specifically the circumstances under which we use handguns. In other words\, we must study the river before we can study bridges. Next\, will discuss the science of hollow point bullets\, tactical human anatomy\, the capabilities and limitations of your weapon\, how to draw from the holster\, then fundamentals of breathing\, aiming\, stance\, grip\, and trigger press. We will provide you with dry fire and live fire exercises to fix or prevent common shooting errors such as flinch\, recoil anticipation\, or shooting low and to the left. The late afternoon will be spent practicing rapid fire and recoil control\, giving you a chance to shoot fast at realistic self defense distances\, including shooting while moving. By the end of the day you will have a strong understanding of all 6 manipulations for loading\, unloading\, and clearing malfunctions on the modern semi automatic pistol. You will be able to draw your weapon swiftly and shoot it accurately and rapidly with one hand and two hands under stress and while moving. This is the essence of defensive handgun. \nWe can provide holsters\, firearms\, and ammunition for you. Simply choose the “Ammunition” ticket option when you check out. \nPrerequisite:  \nFirearm Safety Class\, or equivalent training is highly recommended. \nLocation: \nOur facility is in the mountains 1 hour east of San Jose\, 1 hour south from Livermore. Detail directions will be emailed to those who sign up. If you are inexperienced in driving mountain roads\, give yourself 2 hours to make the trip from most cities in the Bay Area. \nTime:  \nThis is a full day class. Plan to start at 9am and to end at 7pm\, before debriefing and cleaning up. \nPacking List: \nNotebook and pencil\nSturdy belt attached to your pants\nPistol or revolver.\nHolster which is molded for your gun and attached to your clothing\n250+ rounds of ammunition.\n3+ magazines or speed loaders\nSnacks and lunch\n1 gallon of water\nSturdy shoes\nSturdy outdoor clothing (We train rain or shine)\nEye protection\nEar protection\nGun cleaning kit and lubricant \nRecommended equipment:  \nBrimmed hat\, such as a “boonie”\nSunscreen\nSalty snacks\nExtra jackets and warm clothing\nFolding chair\nSturdy gloves \nContact: \nBrian Wang is the event organizer.
