As a result of the increase in crime, recent years have seen an increased public interest in every aspect of personal protection.

For many, the term "Personal Protection" conjures up images of a handgun in the nightstand, in a vehicle, or on their person. In fact, the use of deadly force is only one of the many methods you can employ to defend yourself and your family. Force should only be used as a last resort, when other methods have failed. Even when planning and skill give you an overwhelming advantage over an assailant, sidestepping a violent confrontation is always the best course of action.

Our "Personal Protection Class" is unique among other such courses. We address all aspects of total personal protection and security. Included in this class are techniques and strategies designed to deter burglars, home invaders, common criminals, etc. We point out the various ways to make your home, business, family, and yourself less appealing to the criminal element. Lastly, we give you hands on instruction on how to survive a deadly confrontation!

Our "Personal Protection Class" is taught by Wayne Brown, retired Collier County Sheriff's Office Range Master, who has years of experience in the field. His experience and qualifications are listed below.
