Focused on the Student:
We are not a "certificate factory" shooting school that simply takes you through a cookie-cutter experience, we work with each student to address their personal requirements. Our classes strive to prepare you for the real world and what you may face there. Although our instructors all have extensive experience, they check their ego at the door—we don’t glorify our instruct
ors nor do we promote the "eliteness" of those with whom we're associated. Our instructors are there for the student and focus upon improving our student’s ability to effectively defend themselves in a variety of situations. We treat our students with respect and courtesy—you are in our class to learn a life-saving skill—not to be treated like a boot camp recruit. Please read our testimonials page to see what our students have to say. Building a Foundation:
All of us have a different foundation of experience, different body types, dexterity levels, and ability. Many courses do not recognize these differences and try to force every student into some preconceived mold. We teach students a fi****ms-based, self defense conceptual foundation and encourage our students to take these fundamental concepts and make them a daily part of their lives. At the end of the day:
The training that Sensible Self Defense provides has its basis in proven, real world techniques from the past and the present. At the basic level, we teach our students how to safely live with fi****ms in their environment. At the more advanced levels, we teach our students how to think through a situation and thereby how to win a potentially lethal encounter—not merely how to shoot at a paper target on a square range. We are committed to helping you grow as a responsible fi****ms owner and to making you a person who can effectively defend themselves and others. I hope you enjoy visiting Sensible Self Defense and we hope to serve you in a class very soon.
