Hello fine students and followers! We've got some dates coming up and we'd love to see you sign up and participate.

June 1-2 Brian Hill with the Complete Combatant will be in town teaching his two day pistol optic principles class (previously two day red dot concepts). Brian has been a coach since he was a teenager and has honed his skills to bring the best techniques to you. This class is perfect for those looking to really learn how to run a red dot (or green or any other color dot). Brian will coach you to shoot the platform better, but he will also coach you on how to be the best self-coach you can be so that you can continue to improve beyond the coursework you complete while he is present.

June 15-18 Massad Ayoob will be here for the second year in a row to present MAG-40. This course is somewhat flexible in design as you can take MAG-20 (June 15/16) and reap the benefit of Mas' years of experience in a classroom setting. During this time legal information regarding self-defense will be presented in an easy to digest way that makes you more prepared as a personal defender. Or you can take MAG-20 live fire (June 17/18) where you put the principles of defending yourself with a firearm into action with live fire drills and exercises designed to get you to experiment with different techniques for shooting, while improving accuracy and timing. While the courses are best when they are combined (this means you take all 4 days), we understand that four days can be a lot to do all at once, which is why we keep the course flexible. This course is a MUST have for those who carry a gun everyday, or who are working on getting to the point that they feel comfortable carrying a gun.

Call or stop by to sign up (269-978-1525) or 8139 Portage Rd. Portage, MI 49002.

These courses are great for folks just starting out with holster work or those who have years of experience. There is something in both of these courses for everyone! We look forward to seeing you in class soon.

This 2 day class will prepare you to get the most out of your pistol optic sights and introduce you to a training methodology. Brian Hill
