Course Description:
If you’ve taken our Defesive Rifle Level 1 (AR) course, you qualify for this level 2 course. Ready for a fast paced day to take your skills to the next level?
Research and our own experience in our Force-on-Force classes show one of the most common injuries in a fight are injuries to the hands. If you take one of your hands out of the fight, can you still properly operate your weapon?
This course will take the skills you learned about operating your weapon, reloading, and clearing malfunctions, and force you to do all these things with one hand out of play. In addition, we will work on shooting from compromised positions.
In addition, this course will combine Moving & Shooting skills, where you will learn how to effectively shoot while moving.
Standing still in a gunfight will get you killed. You are either pressing the attack, retreating, moving toward cover, or moving toward an objective. Being able to manipulate your weapon one handed, weak handed, and while moving are vital to your success. This course will make extensive use of footwork, weapon control, and shot placement while on the move.

Violent encounters usually happen in close. When an attacker is close and using a weapon, the time you have to react is greatly reduced. However, your options for defense are often much greater if you know how to properly control the situation.
Naval Special Warfare members are experts at conducting extreme close quarters combat. This course stems from many of the same techniques.
In this course you will be taught fighting at zero distance with empty hand, blades, impact objects, and finally with firearms.
You do not have to be an expert at any of the weapons prior to attending, nor do you have to be a martial artist. This course will show you effective, direct techniques.
This course will use SIRT feedback training handguns for the force-on-force portion.
Comfortable clothes for working both standing and on the ground
Safety glasses
Holster to carry your handgun like you would in real life. This course is not for battle belts etc unless you use one of those daily.

We want to think our church is a place of refuge where we can safely grow a relationship with our God, family, and fellow congregation. Unfortunately, churches are quickly becoming one of the most targeted places for violence.
Many churches have started safety or security teams, but they often lack the ability to give proper training and guidance to the team members. In too many instances the church board simply finds the person in the congregation who happens to be a police officer, tags them to develop a security plan, and then opens it up to volunteers. While this is certainly better than having nothing in place, this approach can leave many holes in a fully comprehensive security plan.
Getting a full team together to offer training has issues. People have complicated schedules. Training facilities are limited. Training courses may offer some of the base skills, but they are not tailored to the church environment.
While we offer full advisement, planning, and training packages to churches, we found many other instances where individual safety team members understand it is “up to them” to get the training required. This course will help individuals who have been tasked to serve their church in a security or safety team role to be better prepared. In addition, several topics will be discussed they can take back to their organizations to help implement a more comprehensive plan.
Topics Covered:
Situational Awareness before, during, and after the service
De-escalation techniques for church environments
Firearms and other weapons considerations
Safeguarding the offering and financial contributions
Protecting the children
Medical issues, fires, weather events, and other safety emergencies
Legal liability
Notepad and Pen
This course is primarily aimed at individual safety team members but will help guide the basis for an overall church plan.
This is a fast paced course with many topics covered
Follow-on training is available to go deeper into each topic

Have you taken our Defensive Handgun Level 1 and ready for a fast-paced day to take your skills to the next level?
This course will take the skills you learned about drawing your weapon, reloading, and clearing malfunctions, and force you to do all these things with one hand out of play. In addition, we will work on drawing from compromised positions and introduce you to the concepts of reactionary shooting (shooting through the draw without a sight picture).
Defensive Handgun Level 1.
If you have attended a defensive handgun course at another facility where you are familiar with drawing from a holster and clearing all malfunctions you will be accepted.
The AR-15/10 platform is one of the most popular rifles in existence today. With years of advances, it has become a highly reliable, accurate, and customizable platform. Primarily thought of as a combat weapon used in military, law enforcement, or personal defense situations, recent changes in hunting laws have seen it become popular in deer stands, hunting pigs, and blasting prairie dogs.
While saying you have an "AR" gives a basic idea of what you own, there are thousands of variations you can actually have. From the concealed carry 9 mm pistol version, to the .308 squad automatic sniper rifle, to the .50 Beowulf, there are close to a dozen different caliber choices. 8" barrels up to 24" barrels, different twist rates, different barrel thickness, low profile gas blocks, piston driven, free float rails, enhanced triggers, etc are all decisions you need to face when choosing an AR.
This course will teach you to fully disassemble your AR, trouble shoot any issues, customize any parts, and re-assemble.
An AR Armorers set is very valuable for this course. We will have limited tools available to borrow.
A decent set of punches can be found here: https://amzn.to/3LlwQf0
A decent screwdriver and allen bit set can be found here: https://amzn.to/4npGCdn
A decent workmat can be found here: https://amzn.to/434S7zL
If you want to get by with the basics and borrow our tools, we recommend a small punch set, a set of allen wrenches, a small hammer, and a small plastic or rubber mallet. You will also need a towel or armorer's mat to place on the table while working.
None.
Open to ages 14 and up when parent attends.
This course is being held at an ATF licensed FFL Manufacturing location. You may build a firearm from scratch but will have to fill out a new 4473 at the conclusion of class. Conversely, you can bring a fully assembled rifle, disassemble it, and reassemble without having to fill out the 4473.

In many areas, assailants prefer using bladed or pointed weapons. Additionally, there are places where carrying a firearm is not permitted, but you may be allowed to carry a knife for self-defense.
Most knife fighting or knife defense classes resemble a choreographed dance more than practical training for real encounters. Such encounters are often ambushes, typically brief but always brutal. Your training needs to focus on the actual techniques employed by most attackers.
This is not a martial arts training course. It is a hybrid-style, reality-based system with techniques you can apply immediately.
Topics Include:
This course is focused on practicality and is designed with methods to adapt to various situations, opponents, and personal fitness, skill, and size.
Special Note about Physical Condition:
You do NOT have to be in great shape, be strong or particularly fast. A 100 pound woman can drop a man twice her size using the principles taught. That's not hyperbole, and will be demonstrated in class.
About this Course:
This course is part of the Sidney Reilly Experience
A master spy needs to know how to maintain environmental awareness. But just knowing what is going on around you is not enough. You have to be able to read the clues and predict what may be coming. Are you in safe, or do certain clues help you see what could become a very dangerous situation?
In addition to reading the situational awareness, you need to be able to read people, often from a distance. Can you tell who may be out of place in the room without looking at facial features or clothing? Not just to predict threats, but to spot potential allies, potential obstacles, etc. You need to be able to walk in a room and know if something goes wrong, who might be able help you as much as who might be there to hurt you.
The skills learned in this course will help prepare you to excel in the later courses in the series.
This course will cover the following topics:
Increasing Overall Situational Awareness
Reading and Interpreting the Baseline
Reading and Interpreting Clues in the Flow
Reading and Interpreting Body Language from a Distance
Reading and Interpreting Body Language during Conversation
Detecting Anomalies in People and the Environment
Other Topics only Disclosed to Students

Active Shooter Situations can happen anywhere. Schools, Malls or Nightclubs.
Police will respond, but in the meantime how many deaths will occur? If your child, spouse, or loved one is in the path of gunfire, will you respond to stop the killing?
Having the will to confront the shooter is one thing, but doing so in a way that you prevent innocent deaths, including your own takes a specific skill set. Knowing what to do when law enforcement does arrive is vital. The 540 degree principal, threshold evaluation, movement toward threat, and friendly link-up are just some of the skills you will learn in this training.
We will start with an understanding of where these events might occur, how to respond, and end with force-on-force drills to let you practice each skill.
If you are a CCW holder and routinely carry your weapon, this course is a "must attend" for you.
If you are a first responder, this course will give you valuable insights in how to respond yourself if you are off-duty.
Fully applicable for Civilians, Fire Fighters, LEO, and EMS.
If you are someone who thinks it is as easy as just shooting the bad guy, you definitely need to come to this course.
If you think you will always get shot by the police in this situation, you definitely need to come to this course.
No live fire ammunition required. All force-on-force equipment will be provided
This course will run from 10-5 on Saturday and 10-4 on Sunday. If you are interested in lodging at discounted rates, contact us for details.
