SUMMARY:Resiliency School 2-3NOV24
DESCRIPTION:America is the land of frontiersman. \nOur parents\, grandparents and great grandparents undertook tremendous risk moving to an unfamiliar land. A land rife with wild beasts\, dangerous men\, harsh weather\, and foreign customs; They risked everything to leave the old country to find a better future. To survive in this new world meant that they had to use every skill they had brought from the old world\, combined with learning and adapting as quickly as possible to the new landscape. Some survived and raised offspring; many didn’t. The children of these pioneers are called “Americans”\, named after Amerigo Vespucci\, an Italian explorer known for “discovering” the new world. We are genetically different from those who never left the comfort of the old world; You are tough\, adaptable\, resilient\, and willing to take risks. In this 2 day class we explore what it means to be a natural born survivor.  \nWhile our forefathers endured harsh lives and hard labor\, today we enjoy the infrastructure that they built. We live comfortable\, convenient\, safe lives\, insulated from the daily struggle to survive\, at least in the traditional sense of the word. Yet\, we struggle in other ways: We as a society struggle to find connection\, purpose\, and happiness. We worry about money\, and self-image. We hate going to work yet we are slaves to our employers and cannot find the courage to quit. We go to school without seeing a purpose for a degree. We live in the land of freedom\, yet are trod upon by overbearing bureaucrats. \nI often find myself helping students look for historical perspectives to answer modern problems. We humans have been here on earth for a long time\, and we have become the dominant species on this earth because we found simple solutions to universal problems. If you go back 50\, 100\, 500 years\, the same troubles we deal with today existed then. How did our grandfathers solve them? If only we could go back to ask them for advice. \nDuring this weekend adventure\, join me on a journey that takes you away from your cell phones\, away from your cars\, and let us find perspective on modern problems by learning and practicing old life skills. The skills that humanity needs no matter how rich or complex our society seems\, or what chaos happens around us. These skills allow you to be a durable\, resilient human being\, and to be able to remain calm and lead your families during times of hardship\, chaos\, or emergency.  \nNo matter what happens tomorrow\, can you ensure that those you love have food\, shelter\, clean water\, warmth\, and safety?  \nThis is a family friendly event. We do not charge tuition for children under 18\, although they must still pay for course materials. For parents\, think of this as a perfect time to get your teenagers away from their phones so they can interact with other kids and adults of all ages\, build friendships\, role models\, and develop their love for the great outdoors.  \nPrerequisite: \n\n\n\nNone  \n\n\n\nTopics: \nTying knotsBuilding shelterPurifying waterStarting fireFinding foodSharpening knives and axesFelling a treeSplitting wood with an axeSleeping under the starsCatch\, kill\, clean\, cook\, and eat a real live animalCaring for your health: stretching\, exercise\, nutrition\, sleepPhysical\, mental and emotional resilienceMarriage\, relationships\, communicationDealing with bullies\, criticism\, and negativityFinding purpose and happiness in lifeDeveloping the habit of doing difficult things \nNumber of days: 2 \nLocation: \nOur facility is in the mountains 1 hour east of San Jose\, 1 hour south from Livermore.

SUMMARY:High Intensity Gunfighting Drills 16NOV24
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!

The first twelve students to buy the package receive an additional 22.5% off\, so that’s only $96 per day of training! This is the reward for those who are bold enough to grab the bull by the horns. Hesitate and you’ll miss out!

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 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. 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:  \n\n\n\nSturdy shoesBeltCarbine or shotgun\, optionalPistol 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.
