SUMMARY:High Intensity Gunfighting Drills 1NOV25
DESCRIPTION:High Intensity Gunfighting Drills is not designed to teach any specific techniques\, but rather provide the student with an opportunity for high repetition\, high round count guided practice\, providing a safe place to experiment and fail\, and helping the student develop confidence in his or her gun handling abilities. The value in this training module is variety. Hence each of these classes will be unique and will cater to the skill level and needs of the class. My intention is that students regularly repeat this module\, and can use this as a blank canvas to express their growth in the martial art and science of firearms for self defense.  \nThis class is part of the Combat Rifle School. We schedule small group instruction based upon the your request. This program consists of the following 50 unique five hour modules\, plus additional practical and field exercises.

SUMMARY:Shoot Move Communicate 2NOV25
DESCRIPTION:Shoot\, Move\, Communicate is the student’s first introduction to modern American fighting tactics. It is your introduction to teamwork\, and how to shoot and move together safely. While most combat rifle classes are technical in nature\, this module is tactical in nature. Without an understanding of the context in the bigger picture\, or how fighting is done\, having and knowing how to shoot a gun is useless.  \nThis class is part of the Combat Rifle School. We schedule small group instruction based upon the your request. This program consists of the following 50 unique five hour modules\, plus additional practical and field exercises.

SUMMARY:Combat Rifle Theory 6NOV25
DESCRIPTION:Combat riflecraft is a lifelong journey\, a passion\, a dedication to the true modern martial art and science. Everyone has a rifle\, but very few actually know how to use it. In this class\, we introduce the curious beginner to everything that it takes to become a confident and skilled warrior in the modern age. Curiosity is all it takes to begin. All combat rifle and precision rifle classes at Monarch Defense begin here. This is a free class. \nThis class is part of the Combat Rifle School. We schedule small group instruction based upon the your request. This program consists of the following 50 unique five hour modules\, plus additional practical and field exercises.

If you want to go to the public range and entertain yourself at 100 yards with your elbows on a table\, be my guest\, but that sounds boring to me. If you want to go out to public land and have stray bullets wiz past you from random strangers who don’t care about your safety\, be my guest to talk with my friend and student Mike who got shot through both legs. If you want to be forever an “experienced beginner”\, be my guest. Youtube Tactical University is always free\, but your time is valuable. Or\, take the bold first step to beginning your formal education on combat rifle craft from a seasoned professional. \nThis class is designed to provide beginners with a solid introduction to the attitude\, skill\, and knowledge you will need to succeed in the journey towards becoming expert riflemen.  \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 on the front line. I trained\, equipped\, and in large part gave birth to the Ukrainian 47th Mechanized Brigade’s snipers and designated marksmen. 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.  \nCancellations: \nIf you do not plan to attend\, notify us immediately so that we can give your spot in class to another student. If you register for a class then no-show\, you will be charged a $50 Pain In the Ass fee. We do not issue refunds. Questions?

SUMMARY:Special Purpose Rifle School 6NOV25 to 9NOV25
DESCRIPTION:Special Purpose Rifle School is an intense 4 day immersion training experience that spans a multitude of disciplines\, each topic designed to help build the student into a capable\, confident\, and competent warrior who can succeed in armed conflict on the modern battlefield. For some students\, this will be a crash course from the beginning to advanced technical rifle shooting and modern fighting doctrine. For others\, this will be the culminating event for students who have trained for months on combat riflecraft\, precision riflecraft\, and small unit tactics\, who are looking to push themselves hard and test their skills and equipment.  \nMy name is Brian Wang. I have taught firearm safety\, self defense\, and the combat use of firearms for 12 years professionally.  I have been a professional 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 have completed the best instructor certification programs available\, to bring efficient and effective training to you. I have been to war and watched friends die. I have survived missiles\, helicopters\, artillery\, bombs\, illness\, and stubborn bureaucracy to bring you the best training experiences possible. I am a veteran of the Ukraine war. I have trained soldiers and snipers and developed logistics and training programs for entire military brigades. 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.  \nWe at Monarch Defense believe that there is no such thing as “advanced training”\, but rather\, there is only mastery of the basics. Therefore\, you can view this training event as an intense review and test to see whether or not you have indeed mastered the basics. From the start of development of our Special Purpose Rifle School back in the spring of 2021\, it was developed as training at the level of the instructors\, to which a select few high competency students were invited. It is our research and development proving ground\, for new curriculum\, training methodologies\, and technologies. It is where we push ourselves in the cold\, the wet\, the sore and sleepless nights\, and where we test our gear to the point of failure.  \nStudents who are currently enrolled in the Combat Rifle School are eligible to attend the entirety\, or just select parts of Special Purpose Rifle School. Students joining us from outside\, who are not subscription customers have the option to join the full Combat Rifle School for unlimited access to all of our classes\, equipment\, and training facility for six months for $995\, or these 4 days of training only at $795. Either way\, we provide you the highest quality of private dedicated tactical training facility\, loaner weapons\, scopes\, training grenades\, day and night optics\, targets\, ammunition\, equipment\, and resources to ensure you have a safe\, fun\, challenging\, and life changing learning experience.   \nWelcome\, warriors.

Others will come out of this experience confident and steady as a warrior. All will be exhausted mentally\, physically\, and emotionally. All will have accomplished something challenging and difficult\, and will have grown as a result.  \nCancellations: \nIf you do not plan to attend\, notify us immediately so that we can give your spot in class to another student.

SUMMARY:Principles of Reconnaissance 9NOV25
DESCRIPTION:The battlefield is an ever changing place\, and the winner is the one who has more information\, better information\, and who can make sound decisions faster with greater adaptability and flexibility. This means that all commanders need a steady feed of intelligence\, data\, surveillance\, and information on the terrain\, the enemy\, the weather\, and the local population\, to determine what to do next in order to win and save lives.  \nThis is a tactical problem-solving\, movement\, and teamwork exercise\, in austere field environment. It will be intense physically and mentally. It is not for the weak or the faint of heart. You will plan the mission\, insert into the area of operations\, move stealthily\, identify the proper location for your data gathering objective\, gather information useful to the commander\, and sneak out undetected.  \nThis class is part of the Combat Rifle School. We schedule small group instruction based upon the your request. This program consists of the following 50 unique five hour modules\, plus additional practical and field exercises.

SUMMARY:Solo Close Quarter Battle 30NOV25
DESCRIPTION:Modern conflicts are fought and won in and around urban environments. If 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. In this tactical training module you will practice the movement\, safety\, and problem solving aspects of single person defensive combat within buildings or tight urban confines. You will practice with live ammunition inside our shoot house\, both in the day and in the dark.   \nThis class is part of the Combat Rifle School. We schedule small group instruction based upon the your request. This program consists of the following 50 unique five hour modules\, plus additional practical and field exercises. If you would like to participate in this training program\, call Brian at 408-892-5460 or email info@monarchdefense.org. \n\nCombat Rifle Theory\nBasic Combat Rifle\nShoot Move Communicate\nCombat Rifle Fundamentals\nCombat Rifle Optics\nClose Quarters Combat Rifle\nNight Combat Rifle\nAdvanced Combat Rifle\nPrecision Rifle Theory\nPrecision Rifle Fundamentals\nPrecision Rifle D.O.P.E.\nPrecision Rifle WIND\nTactical Precision Rifle\nSelf Defense Theory\nBasic Defensive Shotgun\nDefensive Handgun Theory\nBasic Defensive Handgun\nDefensive Handgun Fundamentals\nNight Defensive Handgun\nClose Quarters Defensive Handgun\nAdvanced Defensive Handgun\nHigh Intensity Gunfighting Drills\nClose Quarter Battle Theory\nSolo Close Quarter Battle\nTeam Close Quarter Battle \nThe American Rifle\nAmmunition Science \nAmmunition Data Collection\nAmmunition Production\nSpecial Purpose Rifle\nBasic Tactical Fieldcraft\nPrinciples of Reconnaissance\nLong Range Observation\nBasic Stealth and Camouflage\nGhillie Suit and Thermal Camouflage\nKalash Klas\nThermal Weapon Sights\nHand Grenade Theory\nDrone Theory\nRadio Theory\nLand Navigation\nAnti-Materiel Rifle Theory\nAutomatic Rifle Theory\nPrinciples of Patrol\nCombat First Aid\nCare Under Fire\nPrinciples of Attack\nPrinciples of Defense\nPrinciples of Ambush\nPrinciples of Raid\n\n\n\n\nPrerequisite: \n\n\n\nSelf Defense TheoryBasic Combat Rifle if using a rifleBasic Defensive Handgun if using a handgunBasic Defensive Shotgun if using a shotgunClose Quarter Battle Theory \nLearn:  \n\n\n\n\n\nMovementFootworkWeapon safetyProblem solvingPrioritizing threatsManaging doors and windowsLive fire shoot house drillsShoot/no shoot target identification \n\n\n\n\n\nLocation: \nOur facility is in the mountains 1 hour east of San Jose\, 1 hour south from Livermore.
