SUMMARY:Special Purpose Rifle 18JAN26
DESCRIPTION:Special Purpose Rifle is where we push the boundaries of modern tactical riflecraft. This is for students who already understand and have mastered the basics\, and wish to progress into the pinnacle of advanced close quarter\, long range\, night time\, high speed\, and high precision shooting.  \nThis is a technical and teamwork training\, which will be intense physically and mentally. It is not for the weak or the faint of heart. You will shoot\, move\, target identify\, practice camouflage\, stealth\, observation\, radio communication\, land navigation\, and follow basic tactical principles of movement and mission planning. You will range targets manually\, gauge the wind by feel\, calculate firing solutions quickly without ballistic calculators\, shoot from tree branches\, backpacks\, field expedient rests\, through buildings\, under vehicles\, and from attics. You will be able to move\, shoot\, communicate\, navigate\, and target identify in the day or in the dark\, no matter the weather.  \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 training modules\, plus additional practical and field exercises. If you would like to participate in this program\, the price is $995 for the first 6 months\, then $165.83 per month thereafter.

SUMMARY:Principles of Reconnaissance 18JAN26
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 training modules\, plus additional practical and field exercises. If you would like to participate\, the price is $995 for the first 6 months\, and $165.83 per month thereafter.

SUMMARY:Advanced Combat Rifle 17JAN26
DESCRIPTION:There is no such thing as advanced training; There is only mastery of the basics. During Advanced Combat Rifle we put it all together and proof test everything that you have learned so far. Show me you have mastered all of the basics\, and I will show you an advanced practitioner of the martial art and science of riflecraft. Think of this training module as a black belt test in traditional martial arts.  Review and practice high intensity repetitions to perfect all skills that you have learned during Basic Combat Rifle\, Fundamentals of Riflecraft\, Shoot Move Communicate\, Combat Rifle Optics\, Close Quarters Combat Rifle\, and Night Combat Rifle. Develop confidence in your skills or develop a to-do list of things you need to work on. Those who demonstrate mastery of the knowledge will be invited to teach at our school\, so if think you have what it takes\, then show me.  \nThis class is part of the Combat Rifle School.

SUMMARY:Close Quarter Battle Theory 10JAN26
DESCRIPTION:Close Quarter Battle is what the brits call simply “fighting in somebody’s house”. This module of instruction is an educational\, historical\, and contextual discussion about what\, why\, and how we arrived at the current generation of CQB doctrine\, and how military\, police\, and private citizens adapt the basic principles to suit their varying needs. \nNote the difference between technical and tactical training. Technical training modules are hardware and skill focused\, whereas tactical training modules\, such as this one\, are focused on decision making and problem solving.   \nThis class is hardware agnostic\, meaning you can use any type of weapon and gear to learn. You can bring a firearm\, or just use ours. We will employ Simunition and other non-lethal ammunition in this class\, and the school will provide you with protective equipment\, weapons\, and ammunition.  \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:Introduction to Defensive Handgun 10JAN26
DESCRIPTION:Introduction to Defensive Handgun is a full day class which will efficiently introduce novice students to the equipment\, knowledge\, and skill necessary to use a pistol or revolver safely and confidently. Students will learn safety rules\, how to load and unload\, grip\, stance\, aiming\, and shooting. All equipment and ammunition are provided\, but you can bring your own if you wish.  \nMost of our classes these days are structured with prerequisites for long term commitment customers. This full day of training is priced and organized as a stand-alone class that favors convenience for new customers who are not\, and likely will not become\, subscription based members of the Combat Rifle School. This class includes the core curriculum found in the module Basic Defensive Handgun\, as well as elements from Self Defense Theory\, Defensive Handgun Theory\, Defensive Handgun Fundamentals\, and Close Quarter Defensive Handgun. It is a one stop comprehensive introduction to everything you need to know to get started.  \nMy name is Brian Wang. I have been teaching firearm safety\, self defense\, and the combat use of firearms for 12 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 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\, and illness and stubborn bureaucracy to bring you the best experiences possible. 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.  \nI have striven to design a thorough hands on learning experience\, with the most detail in the shortest time possible. Expect 50% of your training to be lecture and discussion\, and 50% to be hands on with guns\, shooting\, and moving. \nPrerequisite: \nNone \n\n\n\nLocation: \nOur facility is in the mountains 1 hour east of San Jose\, 1 hour south from Livermore.

SUMMARY:Self Defense Theory 10JAN26
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! \nThis is a free class\, with a non refundable facility rental fee. Hurry to sign up and secure your seat in the class. Space is limited\, so if we sell out\, email admin@monarchdefense.org to be added to the waiting list. Remember to email us if you change your mind or if you can’t come\, so we can give your seat to someone else. \nLearn: \nReal self defense case studies\nCriminal psychology\, how bad guys think and operate\nDefinitions and examples of common crimes\nWhen and when not to draw and shoot in self defense\nMyths vs. reality of overpenetration\, stopping power\, warning shots\, shooting the legs\, etc. \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\nBest practices for firearm ownership and use \nCalifornia firearm ownership laws\nCalifornia assault weapon laws\nCalifornia firearm carry and transportation laws\nPolice\, court\, jail\, and how the American legal system works\nOrientation to our school\, our classes\, pricing\, and programs for further training \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.

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 training 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: \nOur facility is in the mountains 1 hour east of San Jose\, 1 hour south from Livermore.

SUMMARY:Combat Rifle Theory 3JAN26
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. A desire to learn 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 training modules\, plus additional practical and field exercises. If you would like to participate in this program\, call Brian at 408-892-5460 or email info@monarchdefense.org to apply.  \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\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\nCombat First Aid\nCare Under Fire\nPrinciples of Patrol\nPrinciples of Reconnaissance\nPrinciples of Attack\nPrinciples of Defense\nPrinciples of Ambush\nPrinciples of Raid\n\nPrerequisite: \nNone \nLearn: \n4 components of your weapon systemThe purpose of combat rifle trainingWhat is a rifleman\, exactly? The different roles of riflemen\, automatic riflemen\, grenadiers\, and marksmen \nIntroduction to the AR15\, America’s favorite rifleIntroduction to the Avtomat Kalashnikova\, the world’s favorite rifleWeapons disassembly and maintenanceHow to buy or build your own rifle \nQuick math for zeroing weaponsThe science of bullet flight and battle zeroBullet wounding effects and barrier penetrationBall\, tracer\, frangible\, blanks\, and when we use the different types of ammo \nChoosing combat rifle scopes and opticsCommon rifles\, cartridges\, calibers\, and bulletsAccessories and support equipment that you will needGoal setting and tips for practiceHow classes are organized\, pricing\, scheduling\, and how to begin your training.  \nYou could watch YouTube videos and figure things out by yourself\, but if you get something wrong\, no one will be there to coach or guide you\, and a simple error could plague your learning and development as a shooter. 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.

SUMMARY:Principles of Atttack 7DEC25
DESCRIPTION:Think about the team sports you played as a kid growing up. I played ice hockey as a defenseman. Others of you played football\, basketball\, soccer\, lacrosse\, water polo…each of these games has a methodology of the defense\, which is how to prevent the other team from scoring\, and a methodology of the offense\, which is how to score against the other team. Humans compete in only one true “ball game” with permanent\, and history defining consequences. In fact all modern competitive sports are simply facsimiles and simulations of combat.  \nIn this class\, Principles of Attack\, learn how score\, and to win\, in the modern “ball game” of small unit infantry combat.   \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 objective to accomplish the mission\, and exercise coordination and violence in order defeat the enemy and win.   \nLearn: \nSupport by fireTarget reference pointLift fire/Shift firePACEObjective rally pointLeaders reconInfiltrationTerrain maskingLast cover and concealmentHasty attackDeliberate attackFrontal assaultFlank maneuverSkirmish formationBounding assaultMETT-TCGOTWAPCC/PCILOALACEBattle drills  \nThis class is part of the Combat Rifle School.

SUMMARY:Principles of Patrol 7DEC25
DESCRIPTION:Combat is the only “team sport” that humans actually compete in. Imagine someone who only punches a punching bag\, then claims he knows how to box\, or only bats in a cage against a ball throwing machine\, then claims he knows baseball. Batting is only a small part of the game. Punching is only a fraction of the whole of boxing. Someone who only knows how to shoot doesn’t know shit about fighting and winning. Shooting is a tiny percentage of the ballgame\, and it isn’t what separates winners from losers. Teamwork\, tactics\, decision making\, leadership\, communication\, mission planning\, movement\, maneuver under fire\, and shooting combined together is what it takes to make a winning team. \nLearn the tactical principles that make the United States the most powerful exporter of military might in the world. Gain the history\, context\, and lessons learned in blood\, and refined over centuries\, that allow us to win on any battlefield\, past\, present\, and future. Learn how to use a simple framework to solve problems under stress\, and to prevent preventable losses from occurring in the first place.  \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 objective to accomplish the mission\, and fight your way out of enemy contact.  \nLearn: \nMETT-TCGOTWAPACELACESergeant Major Eats Sugar CookiesWARNOFRAGOOPORDPCC/PCILDI crossingRally pointObjective rally pointLOAHand signalsNear and far recognition signalsNoise DisciplineLight DisciplineRadio DisciplineTrash DisciplineSectors of fireSetting securityRest cyclesPatrol formationsBounding movementBumping movementTravelingTraveling OverwatchLift fire/Shift fireTarget reference pointBattle drills  \nThis class is part of the Combat Rifle School.

SUMMARY:Combat Rifle Theory 5DEC25
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: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.
