Exclusive training opportunity – two day course or pick one day if your schedule is tight! We are very excited to get back to firearms instruction as relaxed Covid restrictions have opened up our ranges. We didn’t waste the downtime – we have now brought aboard SPD Detective Sgt Jeff Johnsgaard from Natural Tactical Systems as our new Lead Instructor! Join David Chong and Jeff on the range in October for one of our limited number of spaces in this top-tier course for intermediate to advanced shooters.
Jeff is world-famous for his reality-based, highly effective training methodology. His 360° CQD compressed shooting platform (as seen in “John Wick”) is a fantastic tool for extremely close quarters defense. Jeff’s lofty credentials include Police College Instructor, Canadian IADLEST Nationally Certified Instructor, Force Science certified Advanced Specialist, Canadian Director of the RBTA, and widely published in IALEFI, ILEETA, Calibre Press and Blue Line magazines. Call the shop or email ASAP to reserve your spot in the training! The training will be conducted at a private range near Alpine, just minutes from the shop.
Day 1: The Science of Optimal Self Defense
Our first day will be spent presenting you with the exciting and effective reality-based Natural Tactical Systems methodology, which will radically improve the way you approach *all* of your training and study in life – in firearms and beyond. Using the foundational approach of world-renowned RBTA Founder Ken Murray, you will discover how to identify, sharpen and retain the critical aspects of your skillsets. Through range time and coaching along with discussion and exploration of methodologies, you will literally train yourself to train yourself better.
Day 2: Introduction to 360CQD
On Sunday, you will learn the foundational and functional techniques of the 360° CQD (Close Quarters Defense) system, which is an array of shooting positions and presentation techniques that are extremely effective in ultra-tight spaces and close quarters, such as inside vehicles or in close contact within interior passageways. 360° CQD is founded upon the “CAR” (Center Axis Relock) system which was pioneered by Paul Castle and made famous in the “John Wick” movies. After inheriting the system from Mr. Castle, AO Sword Lead Instructor Jeff Johnsgaard expanded and improved upon the CAR system to create 360° Close Quarters Defense. Students will learn, practice and apply these highly sought after techniques in practical applications on the range.
This class is appropriate for intermediate through advanced students, including professionals, military, and LE. Basic firearms safety and practical proficiency with a handgun is required, including draw from holster and fundamentals. Students advised to bring a minimum 200 rounds of ammunition per day, with ammo available for purchase on site (first come, first served – COVID has greatly limited ammunition supply, and it is expensive).
Please contact the shop to reserve your spot in one or both classes – there are limited spaces and we expect to sell out.
