*Church Training* 🧠 ⚡️ What are YOU prepared to do? Shifting the psychology from victim to protector has tangible gains. Post Traumatic Stress is far less reported after a critical incident if you can DO something!

Defending a room with a chair/fire extinguisher/2A and/or VERBALIZING a plan with others lessons the negative psychological impact on that group of people!! (Even if the attacker is never seen or encountered by that group ‼️)

What greater feeling is there than to save yourself?? What about saving a perfect stranger?? What about being a REASON for others to ACT?? Our trainings have you experiencing all of these in real-time!

Church is a place for the weary and the wandering, keeping it that way. Protecting the sanctuary allows for our families to grow in faith.

This entire team is which empowers them to PROTECT their congregation. They’re backed by the nation’s leading House of Worship self-defense legal defense. Please don’t fool yourself; you’re going to be investigated even when your action SAVES lives. Have the best stand beside you should that day ever come. 🐻

*Blanks ONLY were used during this video and training session. Universal Safety Rules apply even during blank training; this is a voluntary portion of our training and NOT ever intended to scare anyone…we EMPOWER action.*

Proud of all three of these families and the next generation they’re raising and teaching. 💪 🐻

Couldn’t ask for a better partner in , supplying these youth with the tools they need. The BlackbeardX (red colored trainer parts) was an excellent way to kick off our Parent/Youth Safety Day. Thanks !!

The most important takeaway? Empowering children with responsibility and education so curiosity never outweighs respect when it comes to powerful tools. Safety first, always.

Ready to level up? Let’s start with the essentials. 💪 (These ladies GET IT 👀)

We believe the foundations are EVERYTHING! Sure, it’s awesome to be high-speed and flashy, but without a solid grasp on the fundamentals, you won’t get far.

Our private lessons classes are the most important ones we offer. Whether it’s technique, form, or building confidence, these classes set you up for success. 🏅

So, don’t rush the basics. They’re cool for a reason. Get them down, and the rest will follow. 🔥

Take comfort. Seriously, take a breath and hear us. There are more GOOD men and women in our world than the evil doers. Perfect strangers to many of us…they’re willing to intervene, at great risk to themselves, to protect you and I.

It’s not about being ready when the storm hits, it’s about having the fortitude to stand firm when it strikes. GOOD men are sharpening their skills and minds for that moment when they’re tested. We try to have a hand in their training.

We love our fellow women, men, and children. From that love comes the responsibility to protect them from harm.

✅ Let’s stay aware.
✅ Control your perimeters and access points.
✅ Keep roving patrols active.
✅ Network w/ local sister churches about their concerns.
✅ Protect our houses of worship.

⭐️ EMPOWER your teams to ACT and let us train them! Our training qualifies your team for a MAJOR discount with so they can defend the individuals on your team.

On the drive home last night our team realized that we all had the same thought…we had just made a real difference in people’s lives. We were invited to a church’s emergency preparedness meeting after a recent safety concern they had come up on Sunday.

We spent the evening talking with a group of good, dedicated men about what they can and cannot legally do as a civilian safety team. It was empowering.

When the class wrapped up, we stepped out into the lobby just as their service ended and it hit us in the gut. Families laughing, kids were running around, people were smiling and connecting. Fellowship. It hit all of us… this is why we do what we do.

That simple, joy-filled scene was a reminder that preparedness isn’t about fear!! Empowering communities to protect the people they love overcomes all evil. Last night we walked out feeling grateful, inspired, and honored to help another team strengthen the safety of their congregation. It was spiritual and a moving experience none of us will ever forget.

Thank you for guarding another team of righteous hunters. They are the warriors we all need at the front door to face what’s coming.

*Church Training* Bet this will be tough for many of you to hear… 👀

We don’t just teach skills, we help people shift from a victim mentality to a protector mindset. If you’re not training this, YOU’RE WRONG…

From the very first iteration, participants experience a mix of stress, loud sounds, and real-world chaos. It’s intense, but that’s exactly the point. Gradual increases in pressure force the mind and body to adapt, quickly breaking through fears, doubts, and hesitation. If you aren’t allowing yourself to be overwhelmed in training, YOU’RE WRONG.

What’s incredible is that, by the second run-through, people have already begun to rework their reactions, refining their instincts.

They start unrefined, but end up empowered. If you’re just hoping you’ll survive a critical incident because you’re the “good person”, YOU’RE WRONG.

It’s not about perfection; it’s about resilience, growth, and the confidence that comes with conquering the challenges you once thought were impossible or “couldn’t happen here”.

This is a LIFE SAVING TRAINING.

Allow us to show you how this training can be done and have ready to stand up for this training after it’s used real world 💪

*building is on lockdown for this training, no children allowed, emergency communications & local law enforcement (911) are notified prior, no weapons allowed (except for 1, know-to-all participants, armed guard NOT in the scenario to protect against public/attacker coming from outside knowing we are an unarmed building at the time), universal pew-arm rules apply even during this training using blanks, safety officers used and waivers signed*

*Church Training* Hear us out… 👀
You’re not using blanks IN YOUR BUILDING? You’re wrong.
These men and women are reacting to real stimulus (blanks) and taking angles to mitigate an active threat against their congregation.

Training IN YOUR BUILDING conditions your team to the sights, sounds (even if muffled), and the stress cues they’ll face in a real critical incident.

Moving IN YOUR BUILDING saves lives. It stops threats faster than hiding and hoping ever will.

When it matters most, you won’t rise to the occasion,
you’ll fall to the level of your lowest training.

Let us, , and the intire , IN YOUR BUILDING, we can help 💪

Anniversaries matter. They deserve to be recognized.

One year ago today, one of our client church congregations was attacked by an assailant. The GOOD people involved had no idea they were going to be tested, but they were.

One person’s simple decision to wear running shoes instead of winter boots SAVED LIVES.
 People who stepped up to guide families away from danger SAVED LIVES.
 Officers from surrounding agencies who rushed in SAVED LIVES.
 A safety team of volunteers who were empowered to act SAVED LIVES.

In the aftermath, we gained lifelong friends. We honor your anniversary today. We praise God for knowing Americans like you, courageous, selfless, inspiring, and deserving of recognition. Love will ALWAYS prevail over evil.

“Do not go gentle into that good night, Rage, rage against the dying of the light.” — Dylan Thomas

Movers are harder to hit than most people think. Our mission will always be to train beginners, but pushing ourselves to master the tough skills matters too. The better we get, the better we can coach the fundamentals. That’s how we raise the standard for everyone.
