This training covers essential defensive carbine skills, progressing from basic weapon presentation and accurate firing to complex scenarios involving movement, malfunction clearing, and partner tactics. The courses emphasize building proficiency under stress, preventing 'training scars' by avoiding inconsistent shot counts, and developing the ability to solve problems beyond just the firearm itself. Instructors Andy Padilla and Seth Sullivan, both former Marines, integrate real-world deployment experiences to prepare students for chaotic situations.
