Controversy in the Training Industry

There’s a growing trend in the training world where instructors discredit others for personal benefit or gain. That’s not something we align with. At Mantis Strategic Defense LLC®, we believe the proof is in the teaching—and the proof is in the delivery.

We don’t discourage anyone from training elsewhere. In fact, we encourage it. Different instructors communicate differently, and sometimes another instructor may explain a concept in a way that finally clicks for you. That matters.

What we don’t agree with is stagnation. An instructor’s past can help shape mindset and perspective, but when the teaching stops evolving, the instruction becomes stagnant—and stagnant instruction produces stagnant shooters. We believe in development. We believe in growth. We believe in pushing ourselves and breaking out of the molds of the ’80s, ’90s, early 2000s, and even outdated 2020-era mechanics and teaching styles.

Our staff agrees: try different training environments and find where you fit best. Our goal is that when you train with us, you see measurable growth and leave with an advantage—not just information.

Students don’t sign up for classes to hear war stories, résumés, or accomplishments. If that’s what they wanted, they’d buy an autobiography. They come to work on themselves. They come to improve their skills, mindset, and performance.

Instruction should focus on the needs of the student and the curriculum required to get them where they want to go. When teaching becomes about ego, titles, or past achievements instead of the client in front of you—that’s where we fundamentally disagree.

At the end of the day, growth speaks louder than words.

Progress on the range isn’t comfortable — and it isn’t supposed to be.

Achievement is chased through failure.
Skill is built through struggle.
Growth lives just past the comfort zone.

If your training starts to feel stagnant, that’s not a sign to slow down — it’s a signal to raise the standard. Push the next mark on the board. Shorten the time. Increase draw speed. Demand tighter hits at greater distance. Hold yourself accountable to higher round counts in defined zones.

The humbling part of training isn’t failing — it’s realizing how long you stayed comfortable.

Pressure reveals truth.
Standards expose ego.
Honest work builds capability.

You don’t drown by falling in the water — you drown by staying submerged. Failure only defeats you when you stop fighting through it.

Stay uncomfortable.
Chase the next standard.
Continue to push, adapt, and sharpen your skill set.

Always train with purpose. Always demand more.
