Handgun Defense Workshop

The Handgun Defense Workshop is designed to give students practical, principle-based training for managing close-range handgun threats in realistic, high-stress situations.

This workshop focuses on understanding the realities of handgun attacks at close distance and developing efficient defensive responses built around timing, positioning, control, and rapid decision-making under pressure.

Students will work through core defensive concepts and tactical problem-solving while learning how to disrupt the threat, improve survivability, and create opportunities for escape, control, or counteraction in dynamic environments.

This workshop includes:

• Fundamental handgun defense principles
• Close-range defensive reactions and movement
• Redirects, control, and counterattack concepts
• Positioning and angle management
• Weapon control and retention principles
• Stress-based drills and pressure testing
• Reaction timing and tactical decision-making
• Scenario-based application training
• Environmental awareness and movement strategies
• Partner-based repetition and practical integration

Training is structured to improve clarity, confidence, and performance under pressure through realistic drills, progressive resistance, and practical application.

This is not static or choreography-based training. The focus is simple, proven defensive principles designed to function under real-world stress and unpredictability.
