Q&A with Amanda Smith, Training Coordinator / Business Manager

Besides making clients happy, what do you like most about your job?
Being able to deliver skill-building courses for students ranging from novice to advanced, while developing the defensive skill sets for effective performance and survival in consideration of present armed conflict reality.

Do you or your staff have any special certifications or degrees?
Each of our instructors have real-world experience in either law enforcement and/or the military, which provides our students with a practical approach that is built upon reality-based, successfully proven fundamentals. Our instructors are not just simply “qualified” through state certifications to teach, but rather competent in their ability to effectively instruct given their wide training backgrounds and extensive career experience.
