SUMMARY:Principles of Patrol 15FEB2025
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to 2025 Small Unit Tactics series! \nBuilding on the success of last year’s program\, Principles of Patrol returns as the heart and soul of Small Unit Tactics series! This class introduces students to modern tactical theory\, movement in buddy pairs\, fire teams\, and squads\, hand signals\, patrol formations\, battle drills\, fire and maneuver\, tactical leadership\, and the unique American fighting doctrine which was developed centuries ago as a hybrid of Native American and European fighting methods\, and despite being codified by Robert Rogers in 1757\, is still used and taught to this day. \nCase in point\, this highly condensed and efficient introductory class is exactly what our team of seasoned instructors compiled for the all-volunteer 47th Separate Battalion during the summer of 2022\, which later became the 47th Separate Mechanized Brigade of the Ukraine Armed Forces who spearheaded the counteroffensive against Russian occupation during the summer of 2023. These were regular people just like you who made the decision to learn how to fight.  \nThose who study history find that there are cycles and patterns which repeat themselves\, so if you understand history\, you are able to predict and prepare for the future. In 1775\, the young United States was losing a war against the most powerful military in the world and turned to an expert military instructor from Prussia named Friedrich Wilhelm Von Steuben because the rag tag American militiamen had the heart to fight\, but were not professionally trained soldiers\, and they needed to learn teamwork and tactics. That training is what eventually lead to the defeat of Great Britain in 1783. \nIn 1937 China found itself invaded by a superior imperial Japanese army. The Chinese Communist Party Liberation Army managed to survive the war by the skin of it’s teeth\, it then went on to win a civil war from 1945-1949\, fought the United States in direct combat in Korea in the 1950-1953\, so by the time Ho Chi Minh\, leader of North Vietnam turned to China for military aid during the Vietnam War from 1955-1975\, China was well experienced to teach the north Vietnamese commoner how to fight and win against a technologically superior professional adversary. Leading to the defeat of the United States in 1975. \nThe Soviet Union\, the largest country in the world\, invaded and occupied Afghanistan from 1979 to 1989\, and for 10 years despite having overwhelming advantage in technology and military might\, were defeated by essentially peasants with some old rifles and the occasional shoulder fired anti aircraft missile. What was the secret to their success? American funded guerilla training and tactics. So successful was this proxy war for the Americans\, that it lead to the literal collapse of the Soviet Union\, ending the Cold War. Fast forward to 2021 and the same Afghans who defeated the USSR defeated the United states after 20 years of military occupation by the most powerful military on the planet. \nDo you see the pattern? In each of these cases the underdog\, who starts as a ragtag collection of laymen\, is able to defeat a superior adversary through discipline\, tactics\, and an understanding of combat theory. If history repeats itself\, then when will it be your turn to fight for your freedom\, your sovereignty\, your family\, or your life? When that time comes\, would you rather scramble to survive\, or would you rather learn how to fight now when the sun is shining? \nThe Small Unit Tactics Series consists of five 10 hour immersive classes that will give you a broad introduction to modern fighting tactics. This includes basic tactical theory\, hand signals\, casualty evacuation\, leadership\, and then going all the way into mission planning\, attack\, defense\, ambush\, raid\, night operations\, and more!  \nYou can sign up for classes individually or purchase the entire package of 5 classes for an awesome deal. Each class is technical\, detailed\, and action packed. We offer a both a primary and an auxiliary date for Basic Tactical Fieldcraft\, as this information is critical for safe and smooth advanced training later in the series.  If you can’t make a class you signed up for\, simply email Brian at info@monarchdefense.org and we can credit you or reschedule you for a future date.  \n2025 Small Unit Tactics Series dates: \nBasic Tactical Fieldcraft\, Saturday 18th of January\, 2025.Principles of Patrol\, Saturday 15th of February\, 2025.Basic Tactical Fieldcraft\, Sunday 9th of March\, 2025.Care Under Fire\, Saturday 15th of March\, 2025.Principles of Ambush\, Saturday 19th of April\, 2025.Principles of Raid\, Saturday 17th of May\, 2025. \nPrerequisite: \nYou must have prior safe weapons handling experience.  \nLocation: \nOur facility is in the mountains 1 hour east of San Jose\, 1 hour south from Livermore.

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.

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.  \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 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 lunchWe have weapons\, magazines\, magazine carriers\, pistols\, holsters\, night vision\, armor\, helmet etc. for you to borrow for free.

SUMMARY:Resiliency School 1-2FEB25
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:Basic Tactical Fieldcraft 18JAN2025
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to 2025 Small Unit Tactics series! \nBuilding on the success of last year’s program\, we have expanded Small Unit Tactics to include a crash course of all the things you need to know on the individual level in order to succeed while conducting operations at the team level. \nBasic Tactical Fieldcraft will teach you how to think and move in a tactical manner\, how to set up your individual equipment\, and introduce tactical concepts such as cover\, concealment\, camouflage\, stealth\, light discipline\, noise discipline\, dispersion\, sectors of responsibility\, setting security\, unit organization\, military terminology\, grenades\, night vision\, the squad’s organic weapons\, and more. \nIt also includes an orientation on our blank fire systems\, a tour of the facility\, and a detailed conversation about weapons and equipment setup so you will know how to prepare logistically for success in the coming months of exciting training.  \nThose who study history find that there are cycles and patterns which repeat themselves\, so if you understand history\, you are able to predict and prepare for the future. In 1775\, the young United States was losing a war against the most powerful military in the world and turned to an expert military instructor from Prussia named Friedrich Wilhelm Von Steuben because the rag tag American militiamen had the heart to fight\, but were not professionally trained soldiers\, and they needed to learn teamwork and tactics. That training is what eventually lead to the defeat of Great Britain in 1783. \nIn 1937 China found itself invaded by a superior imperial Japanese army. The Chinese Communist Party Liberation Army managed to survive the war by the skin of it’s teeth\, it then went on to win a civil war from 1945-1949\, fought the United States in direct combat in Korea in the 1950-1953\, so by the time Ho Chi Minh\, leader of North Vietnam turned to China for military aid during the Vietnam War from 1955-1975\, China was well experienced to teach the north Vietnamese commoner how to fight and win against a technologically superior professional adversary. Leading to the defeat of the United States in 1975. \nThe Soviet Union\, the largest country in the world\, invaded and occupied Afghanistan from 1979 to 1989\, and for 10 years despite having overwhelming advantage in technology and military might\, were defeated by essentially peasants with some old rifles and the occasional shoulder fired anti aircraft missile. What was the secret to their success? American funded guerilla training and tactics. So successful was this proxy war for the Americans\, that it lead to the literal collapse of the Soviet Union\, ending the Cold War. Fast forward to 2021 and the same Afghans who defeated the USSR defeated the United states after 20 years of military occupation by the most powerful military on the planet. \nDo you see the pattern? In each of these cases the underdog\, who starts as a ragtag collection of laymen\, is able to defeat a superior adversary through discipline\, tactics\, and an understanding of combat theory. If history repeats itself\, then when will it be your turn to fight for your freedom\, your sovereignty\, your family\, or your life? When that time comes\, would you rather scramble to survive\, or would you rather learn how to fight now when the sun is shining? \nThe Small Unit Tactics Series consists of five 10 hour immersive classes that will give you a broad introduction to modern fighting tactics. This includes basic tactical theory\, hand signals\, casualty evacuation\, leadership\, and then going all the way into mission planning\, attack\, defense\, ambush\, raid\, night operations\, and more!  \nYou can sign up for classes individually or purchase the entire package of 5 classes for an awesome deal. Each class is technical\, detailed\, and action packed. We offer a both a primary and an auxiliary date for Basic Tactical Fieldcraft\, as this information is critical for safe and smooth advanced training later in the series.  If you can’t make a class you signed up for\, simply email Brian at info@monarchdefense.org and we can credit you or reschedule you for a future date.  \n2025 Small Unit Tactics Series dates: \nBasic Tactical Fieldcraft\, Saturday 18th of January\, 2025.Principles of Patrol\, Saturday 15th of February\, 2025.Basic Tactical Fieldcraft\, Sunday 9th of March\, 2025.Care Under Fire\, Saturday 15th of March\, 2025.Principles of Ambush\, Saturday 19th of April\, 2025.Principles of Raid\, Saturday 17th of May\, 2025. \nPrerequisite: \nYou must have prior safe weapons handling experience.  \nLocation: \nOur facility is in the mountains 1 hour east of San Jose\, 1 hour south from Livermore.

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.

SUMMARY:Combat Rifle 1: Basic Combat Rifle 5JAN25
DESCRIPTION:Andrey and I stepped down into Veterano\, an underground bar in Kyiv that looked at the moment more like a military command bunker. It was quiet\, devoid of customers\, and dark despite the daylight outside\, a fitting ambience as the war torn city and country anxiously fought for survival. A rack of assault rifles stood by the door\, a large bearded man watched us keenly as we entered\, he cradled a Kalashnikov across his chest. We shook hands with Valeriy Markus\, and he ushered us to a booth where we would soon learn about the birth of something magnificent. Inspired by Markus’s passionate vision\, social media popularity\, and skilled oration\, hundreds of patriots had volunteered to join a newly formed battalion whose mission would be to lead the modernization and westernization of the Ukranian Armed Forces. We would be equipped with NATO caliber weapons\, American tanks and infantry fighting vehicles\, and fight in the style of fast maneuver warfare according to American doctrine. It was a beautiful vision\, a dream that both Markus and many Ukrainians shared since since the fighting began in 2014. We believed in him\, and in his dream\, and finally it was coming true\, but there was a slight problem:  \nThey had no trainers\, let alone American trainers. Ukraine isn’t like the United States where we have standardized military basic training. These men and women had been bakers\, architects\, trumpet players\, and IT guys just days ago. I would be the first\, and for a period of time\, the only foreign trainer. \nWe were going to war in 3 weeks. One of me was just not enough. How could I give all these men and women enough knowledge so that they could survive and prevail in battle? Their lives were in my hands. Wasn’t there someone who was better equipped\, more experienced\, and more qualified than me to lead their training? Then I understood. No\, there was not someone more qualified. I was here because fate or destiny had brought us together at this critical time\, and I had prepared all my life for this moment. No one else was here\, because no one else in that moment had the unique combination of passion and experience. So\, I got to work\, and the fruits of that work is the curriculum you see before you today\, the attitudes\, knowledge\, skills\, and experiences presented to you in the Combat Rifle Series.   \nBrian Wang\, center\, poses with his students from the 47th separate motorized assault battalion\, later to become the 47th mechanized assault brigade\, fellow instructor Borys from Poland\, and interpreters after completing a week of combat rifle training. July 2022 Zviahel\, Zhytomr Olast\, Ukraine. \n  \nThe Combat Rifle Series consists of six 10 hour immersive classes that will cover everything you need to know regarding the use of carbines and fighting rifles. This includes the weapon’s role in modern human conflict\, the basics of safety\, movement\, and weapon operation\, then going all the way into low light fighting\, night vision\, close quarter battle\, teamwork and tactics\, precision shooting out to 400 meters\, how to use red dots and magnifiers\, lasers\, LPVO and ACOG scopes\, ballistic theory\, and more!  \nYou can sign up for classes individually or purchase the entire package of 6 classes for an awesome deal. Each class is technical\, detailed\, and action packed. We offer a both a primary and an auxiliary date for Basic Combat Rifle\, as this information is critical for safe and smooth advanced training later in the series.  If you can’t make a class you signed up for\, simply email Brian at info@monarchdefense.org and we can credit you or reschedule you for a future date.  \nWinter/Spring 2025 Combat Rifle Series dates: \nBasic Combat Rifle\, Sunday 5th of January\, 2025.Live Fire Battle Drills\, Sunday 2nd of February\, 2025.Basic Combat Rifle\, Sunday 16th of February\, 2025.Fundamentals of Riflecraft\, Sunday 2nd of March\, 2025.Combat Rifle Optics\, Sunday 6th of April\, 2025.Close Quarters Combat Rifle\, Sunday 4th of May\, 2025.Advanced Combat Rifle\, Saturday 31st of May to Sunday 1st of June\, 2025. \nPrerequisite: \n\n\n\nYou must have prior safe weapons handling experience.  \n\n\n\nLocation: \nOur facility is in the mountains 1 hour east of San Jose\, 1 hour south from Livermore.

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!

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:Principles of CQB 19OCT24
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! Mix and match whatever fits your skill level\, your schedule\, and your interests for an awesome price of just $124 per class. 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! If during the series you get a schedule conflict\, or want to reschedule a date\, simply email Brian at info@monarchdefense.org to take a credit for something else!  \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.  \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. 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 weatherHatRifle\, Pistol\, or shotgun (We can provide weapons and equipment free of charge\, contact us for details)200+ rounds of ammunition\, or pay $80 for ammo when you registerCleaning kit with oil\, rag\, toothbrushClear 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. 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?

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:Tactical Precision Rifle 7-8SEP24
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to the much anticipated 2024 Combat Rifle Series! This program consists of four two-day immersive classes\, that will cover all topics having to do with combat rifle craft\, starting with the basics\, and going all the way into night vision\, close quarter battle\, long range shooting and snipercraft. Classes include:  \nJune 1-2\, 2024 – Basic Combat RifleJuly 6-7\, 2024 – Advanced Combat RifleAugust 3-4\, 2024 – Special Purpose RifleSeptember 7-8\, 2024 – Tactical Precision Rifle \nPrerequisite: \n\n\n\nYou must have prior safe weapons handling experience.  \n\n\n\nDescription:  \nTactical Precision Rifle Rifle builds upon your foundation of basic riflecraft\, and focuses on extending your effective range to 1200 meters and beyond\, using either the gas operated or bolt action sniper rifle. We provide all weapon systems\, scopes\, ammunition\, and equipment. You are certainly welcome to bring and use your own\, but buying expensive gear is not necessary.  \nWhereas during Special Purpose Rifle we were focused on engaging man sized targets out to 800 meters\, in a fast but “sloppy” manner\, as you take the next step forward in your growth and skills development with Tactical Precision Rifle\, we are now interested in maximizing precision\, despite constraints of the field environment\, finely tuning your “firing solution” and “DOPE” to the exact weather conditions\, wind\, and distance of the target.  \nThis process takes more care in range estimation\, wind estimation\, calculations regarding spindrift\, greater care when delivering the shot\, and greater communication and teamwork when spotting the splash or hit. In this class we must master new types of equipment\, such as tripods\, spotting scopes\, high caliber rifles\, anemometers\, ballistic calculators\, and chronographs\, but the fundamentals of precision shooting are always the same\, and once you understand the principles\, then we will turn our focus towards speed and performance under stress.  \nNumber of days: 2 \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 and scope250+ rounds of match 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 lunchBackpackBoonie hatSleeping bag or blanketsTowel and personal hygiene itemsWe provide rifles\, magazines\, magazine carriers\, pistols\, holsters and ammunition for you.

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. While weapons and gear are free to borrow\, we ask you to clean what you use before turning it back in. We can supply all the ammunition you need for $80 per person per day. Simply choose the “Ammunition” ticket option during checkout. We have limited sets of night vision and helmets for students to borrow. Contact us early so we can prepare for you.  \n\n\n\n\nWhat is the cancellation policy? \nWe do not issue refunds\, except for in extreme and unforeseeable circumstances.

SUMMARY:Special Purpose Rifle 3-4AUG24
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to the much anticipated 2024 Combat Rifle Series! This program consists of four two-day immersive classes\, that will cover all topics having to do with combat rifle craft\, starting with the basics\, and going all the way into night vision\, close quarter battle\, long range shooting and snipercraft. Classes include:  \nJune 1-2\, 2024 – Basic Combat RifleJuly 6-7\, 2024 – Advanced Combat RifleAugust 3-4\, 2024 – Special Purpose RifleSeptember 7-8\, 2024 – Tactical Precision Rifle \nPrerequisite: \n\n\n\nYou must have prior safe weapons handling experience.  \n\n\n\nDescription:  \nSpecial Purpose Rifle Rifle builds upon your foundation of basic riflecraft\, and allows the advanced practitioner to really stretch the capabilities of the modern high performance gas operated semi automatic rifle. Of course\, for those familiar with the famous mk12 Special Purpose Rifle\, the idea was revolutionary in 2002 during it’s inception\, to take a relatively standard infantry rifle\, add a scope to it\, and hybridize the rugged durability of an infantry weapon with the performance and precision of a target rifle\, thus giving combat marksmen the special ability to both employ their rifle as a normal rifleman\, as well as to stretch out beyond 800 meters\, greatly improving his unit’s precision\, range\, counter sniper ability\, and ability to suppress enemy crew served weapons\, all while maintaining great mobility and defensive firepower\, compared to a dedicated sniper who is burdened with slow\, delicate\, and specialized equipment.  \nWait\, hold on\, back up. Ahem! \nOf course\, those familiar with the famous Snayperskaya Vintovka Dragunova\, the SVD\, the idea was revolutionary in 1963 during it’s inception\, to take a semi automatic light weight infantry rifle\, customized and specialized for the role\, and add a scope to it to greatly stretch the capabilities of the infantry squad.  \nYou mean like what Americans were doing with M1C rifles\, in 1951? Pick the best and brightest and most promising of riflemen\, someone with steady hands\, good eyes\, a quick mind\, patience\, and who learned well\, then select a particularly accurate rifle\, mount a scope to it\, and give him extra training to increase the unit’s combat effectiveness? Surely\, it was a new idea in 1937 at the start of ww2. No? Surely\, then it was a revolutionary idea in 1914 then\, as Europe tore itself apart in the forests and trenches of France. No? Surely\, surely then\, this was state of the art training and philosophy in 1863 as the Berdan Sharpshooters proved their worth at the battle of Gettysburg\, Pennsylvania\, during the American Civil War.  \n…No… Not even then. You see\, as long as there have been soldiers with guns\, there have been both clueless idiots and a select minority of dedicated experts\, called different things over the years…jaegers\, snipers\, marksmen\, or just simply\, “Riflemen”\, as the difference isn’t so much in the type of weapon\, but rather in the skill\, training\, and lifelong dedication to mastering a craft that sets these men and women apart from their peers.  \nWhat we seek in Special Purpose Rifle is to master your weapon such that with the minimum amount of equipment you maximize your abilities to shoot and move\, both far and fast\, to be capable night and day in the defense and in the offense\, on the open battlefield and confined cityscape. Everyone has a rifle\, but not everyone knows how to use it. Even fewer people can really consider themselves masters of the art of small arms combat. Special Purpose Rifle is the next big step for you on the journey from from average practitioner to seasoned expert.  \nDuring Basic Combat Rifle\, we encourage students to strip down to the bare basics; to learn how to move safely and operate their weapons with reliability under stress\, and lay the foundation for quality marksmanship habits. During Advanced combat rifle\, we expand upon those basics with the capability to fight in the dark\, managing the added complexity with white lights\, lasers\, night vision\, red dots\, magnifiers\, and other combat optics\, secondary weapons\, and buddy pair teamwork. All of this thus far has been just out to 400 meters\, or 440 yards.  \nSpecial Purpose Rifle builds upon all of those\, and adds in range estimation\, gathering and dialing dope\, estimating wind\, and spotting and correcting fire for teammates\, including\, how to shoot at distance in the dark using thermal clip-on optics. You are welcome to bring your own rifle\, but we provide all rifles\, scopes\, night vision\, and thermal equipment free of charge. Ammunition is $80 per person per day for everything you need for training.  \nNumber of days: 2 \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+ magazines500+ rounds of ammunitionPistol and holster 100 rounds of pistol 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 lunchBackpackSleeping bag or blanketsTowel and personal hygiene itemsWe provide rifles\, magazines\, magazine carriers\, pistols\, holsters and ammunition for you.
