SUMMARY:Foundations of Reality-Based Training
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]Ready to elevate your defensive shooting skills beyond static range drills? Our Foundations of Reality-Based Training course bridges the gap between basic marksmanship and real-world defensive scenarios\, delivering an intensive 8-hour experience that will transform your approach to personal protection. \nUsing state-of-the-art Turning Targets and photorealistic scenarios\, you’ll develop crucial tactical decision-making skills while maintaining precision under pressure. This isn’t just another day at the range – it’s immersive training that combines combative shooting skills with split-second threat assessment and emotional control. \nPerfect for experienced shooters looking to take their defensive pistol training to the next level\, this course emphasizes practical scenario-based firearms training in a controlled\, professional environment. Our comprehensive scoring system evaluates not just your accuracy\, but your judgment\, efficiency\, and tactical awareness. \nJoin the evolution in defensive training and learn to perform when it matters most. Limited to small class sizes to ensure personalized instruction and maximum range time.[/vc_column_text][vc_tta_accordion style=”modern” shape=”square” color=”mulled-wine” c_icon=”chevron” active_section=”9″ no_fill=”true” collapsible_all=”true”][vc_tta_section title=”Prerequisites” tab_id=”section-course-details”][vc_column_text css=””]While this course is introductory to RBT\, it is not an entry-level course for technical skills. Students are expected to have proficiency in firearm handling\, specifically the ability to safely draw from and holster a firearm. Additionally\, students should meet a baseline marksmanship standard: placing five rounds into a five-inch circle at five yards in five seconds or less from concealment.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Stuff to Bring” tab_id=”hac-gear-list”][vc_column_text css=””]Defensive handgun (revolver or semiauto is fine – as long as it’s designed for defense and not for competition\, hunting\, target shooting\, etc.) \nAIWB/IWB Holster- Must be made of kydex and form fitted for your firearm specifically. No SERPA style holsters allowed. LE are welcome to wear duty rig. \n300 rounds of ammo (might not use that much\, but bring it just in case) \nEye and ear protection (Electronic Hearing Pro Preferred) \nNote-taking materials \nPositive attitude\, open mind\, friendly smile \nMedication\, snacks\, water\, or anything else you need to stay comfortable and attentive \nFood: We’ll take a short dinner break (around 30 minutes).

SUMMARY:How to Be an Effective Assistant Instructor (Memphis PM)
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Serving as an assistant instructor requires unique skills that are often taken for granted. How can we be effective in this essential role?[/vc_column_text][vc_tta_accordion style=”modern” shape=”square” color=”mulled-wine” c_icon=”chevron” active_section=”9″ no_fill=”true” collapsible_all=”true”][vc_tta_section title=”Course Details” tab_id=”section-course-details”][vc_column_text]Many people enjoy the limelight of being a lead firearms instructor\, teaching at the front of a classroom and giving commands on the firing line. Equally important but less often recognized is the role of the assistant instructor. Being an effective assistant trainer requires more than just standing behind a row of shooters or loitering in the back of the classroom. How do you handle a nervous student? Or a student who doesn’t follow directions? Or one who is unsafe\, chatty\, inattentive\, physically compromised\, or just plain terrified? What is the assistant instructor’s role\, and how is it different from the lead instructor\, or the range safety officer\, or the one-on-one coach? In this class\, we’ll explore some useful tips\, skills\, and best practices that elevate the A.I. from just another person on the range to an indispensable part of the training team. \nNo ammunition is required for this class. All drills and exercises will be conducted in the classroom\, with dummy ammunition or blue guns used to simulate range instruction. We’ll focus on classroom management\, range preparation and set-up\, and general safety enforcement. If time permits\, we’ll also include practical exercises on firing line management.

DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]So you’ve got your Tennessee Enhanced Carry Permit or Concealed Carry Permit. Excellent! Now what?

Developing the required skill takes more than one class\, it is a process that involves time\, instruction\, and structured practice. \nFor those who want to gain confidence and competence with their handgun we have the “After the Permit” series of clinics\, Safe Gun Handling & Marksmanship and Carrying & Drawing From a Holster clinics.[/vc_column_text][vc_tta_accordion style=”modern” shape=”square” color=”mulled-wine” c_icon=”chevron” active_section=”9″ no_fill=”true” collapsible_all=”true”][vc_tta_section title=”Course Details” tab_id=”section-course-details”][vc_column_text]Safe Gun Handling & Marksmanship Clinic is a half-day course that continues where the TN Enhanced Handgun Permit class ends.

SUMMARY:Citizens Pro-Social Pistol Skills (Nashville\, TN)
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]This is an intensive 2-day course that covers the essential mindset and skills needed to successfully defend yourself with a pistol.[/vc_column_text][vc_tta_accordion style=”modern” shape=”square” color=”mulled-wine” c_icon=”chevron” active_section=”9″ no_fill=”true” collapsible_all=”true”][vc_tta_section title=”Course Details” tab_id=”section-course-details”][vc_column_text css=””]\nCSA Pro-social Pistol is an intensive  2-day course that covers the essential skills needed to successfully defend against a deadly criminal attack\, within the rule of law. This course is designed expressly for the armed citizen who carries a concealed handgun\, or the plain clothes or off-duty police officer. The goal is to develop the knowledge\, skills\, and mindset necessary to dominate and end an inescapable deadly assault\, and then successfully defend those actions in court. \nTraining day 1 runs from 2p -10p Saturday and training day 2 runs from 1p-9p Sunday. \nTopics include: \n\nMental awareness and techniques for gaining advantage in life-threatening confrontations\nProper defensive mindset and personal tactics \nConcealing a pistol properly and clothing considerations\nEffective gun handling techniques designed to work under stress\nRapid presentation from concealed carry during an attack (and safely concealing it)\nHigh speed accuracy at close ranges and precision shooting at mid ranges\nRapidly and reliably fixing pistol malfunctions and reloading techniques \nShooting effectively with one hand\nShooting effectively with a cognitive load\nTactical anatomy \nProper skill development practices\n\nClass prerequisites: Completion of a state handgun carry permit class or other comparative pistol shooting class. You should also have some experience safely handling\, drawing and holstering a pistol. If you have questions about suitability of the course\, please email us at info@CitizensSafety.com or text us at 615-801-8007.  \nStudents who complete the course will receive a completion certificate.  \nWhat you will need to take the course: \n\nA quality pistol recommend minimum of 9mm or .38 Special. We recommend full or compact sized guns for this class. Sub-compact guns are much harder to shoot all day. A second gun like the first one is a good idea in case the first one breaks.\nA quality strong side hip or appendix holster – either form fitted leather or kydex\, the holster must completely cover the trigger guard\, allow a full firing grip with the gun in the holster and remain open while the gun is drawn. PLEASE NO flimsy nylon or cloth holsters.\nA quality belt\, purposely designed to securely attach the holster to the belt and support the weight of a fully loaded pistol.\nAbout 550-600 rounds of quality training ammunition. If you can bring more do so\nAT LEAST 3 magazines or speed loaders with appropriate belt pouches for the spare magazines. The more magazines you bring\, the better.\nClothing appropriate for concealing a firearm (vest\, jacket\, windbreaker\, over-shirt\, polo shirt\, etc.). Holsters must be worn concealed. \nEye protection and hearing protection (we recommend electronic) and we recommend a ball cap or brimmed hat to keep brass from going behind your eye protection. \nComfortable shoes and clothing appropriate for the weather.\nRain gear (we train rain or shine)\, bug repellant\, and sun screen if necessary.\nA cooler with soft drinks\, water\, snacks and lunch will be needed\, for lunch on site. We will not be leaving the range for lunch.\n\nYou can bring a revolver to this course\, but we strongly recommend against it as they tend not to last a full day of intensive shooting.  \nIf you need help putting the above items together please contact us before the class. Info@CitizensSafety.com. \nAqil Qadir will be your lead instructor assisted by other CSA instructors. \nGenerally\, refunds aren’t issued\, so please be sure you can make the date before purchase.  \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Register Now” tab_id=”section-register-now”][vc_raw_html css=””]JTNDZGl2JTIwaWQlM0QlMjJldmVudGJyaXRlLXdpZGdldC1jb250YWluZXItOTIwODM5NTU0ODk3JTIyJTNFJTNDJTJGZGl2JTNFJTBBJTBBJTNDc2NyaXB0JTIwc3JjJTNEJTIyaHR0cHMlM0ElMkYlMkZ3d3cuZXZlbnRicml0ZS5jb20lMkZzdGF0aWMlMkZ3aWRnZXRzJTJGZWJfd2lkZ2V0cy5qcyUyMiUzRSUzQyUyRnNjcmlwdCUzRSUwQSUwQSUzQ3NjcmlwdCUyMHR5cGUlM0QlMjJ0ZXh0JTJGamF2YXNjcmlwdCUyMiUzRSUwQSUyMCUyMCUyMCUyMHZhciUyMGV4YW1wbGVDYWxsYmFjayUyMCUzRCUyMGZ1bmN0aW9uJTI4JTI5JTIwJTdCJTBBJTIwJTIwJTIwJTIwJTIwJTIwJTIwJTIwY29uc29sZS5sb2clMjglMjdPcmRlciUyMGNvbXBsZXRlJTIxJTI3JTI5JTNCJTBBJTIwJTIwJTIwJTIwJTdEJTNCJTBBJTBBJTIwJTIwJTIwJTIwd2luZG93LkVCV2lkZ2V0cy5jcmVhdGVXaWRnZXQlMjglN0IlMEElMjAlMjAlMjAlMjAlMjAlMjAlMjAlMjAlMkYlMkYlMjBSZXF1aXJlZCUwQSUyMCUyMCUyMCUyMCUyMCUyMCUyMCUyMHdpZGdldFR5cGUlM0ElMjAlMjdjaGVja291dCUyNyUyQyUwQSUyMCUyMCUyMCUyMCUyMCUyMCUyMCUyMGV2ZW50SWQlM0ElMjAlMjc5MjA4Mzk1NTQ4OTclMjclMkMlMEElMjAlMjAlMjAlMjAlMjAlMjAlMjAlMjBpZnJhbWVDb250YWluZXJJZCUzQSUyMCUyN2V2ZW50YnJpdGUtd2lkZ2V0LWNvbnRhaW5lci05MjA4Mzk1NTQ4OTclMjclMkMlMEElMEElMjAlMjAlMjAlMjAlMjAlMjAlMjAlMjAlMkYlMkYlMjBPcHRpb25hbCUwQSUyMCUyMCUyMCUyMCUyMCUyMCUyMCUyMGlmcmFtZUNvbnRhaW5lckhlaWdodCUzQSUyMDQyNSUyQyUyMCUyMCUyRiUyRiUyMFdpZGdldCUyMGhlaWdodCUyMGluJTIwcGl4ZWxzLiUyMERlZmF1bHRzJTIwdG8lMjBhJTIwbWluaW11bSUyMG9mJTIwNDI1cHglMjBpZiUyMG5vdCUyMHByb3ZpZGVkJTBBJTIwJTIwJTIwJTIwJTIwJTIwJTIwJTIwb25PcmRlckNvbXBsZXRlJTNBJTIwZXhhbXBsZUNhbGxiYWNrJTIwJTIwJTJGJTJGJTIwTWV0aG9kJTIwY2FsbGVkJTIwd2hlbiUyMGFuJTIwb3JkZXIlMjBoYXMlMjBzdWNjZXNzZnVsbHklMjBjb21wbGV0ZWQlMEElMjAlMjAlMjAlMjAlN0QlMjklM0IlMEElM0MlMkZzY3JpcHQlM0U=[/vc_raw_html][/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_accordion][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Citizens Pro-Social Pistol Skills (Atlanta\, GA)
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]This is an intensive 2-day course that covers the essential mindset and skills needed to successfully defend yourself with a pistol.[/vc_column_text][vc_tta_accordion style=”modern” shape=”square” color=”mulled-wine” c_icon=”chevron” active_section=”9″ no_fill=”true” collapsible_all=”true”][vc_tta_section title=”Course Details” tab_id=”section-course-details”][vc_column_text css=””]\nCSA Pro-social Pistol is an intensive  2-day course that covers the essential skills needed to successfully defend against a deadly criminal attack\, within the rule of law. This course is designed expressly for the armed citizen who carries a concealed handgun\, or the plain clothes or off-duty police officer. The goal is to develop the knowledge\, skills\, and mindset necessary to dominate and end an inescapable deadly assault\, and then successfully defend those actions in court.  \nTopics include: \n\nMental awareness and techniques for gaining advantage in life-threatening confrontations\nProper combative mindset and personal advantage tactics \nEffective gun handling techniques designed to work under stress\nRapid presentation from concealment\nHigh speed shooting at close ranges and precision accuracy at mid ranges\nRapid and reliable reloading and pistol malfunction clearing techniques \nShooting effectively with one hand\nShooting effectively with a cognitive load\nCombat anatomy considerations\nProper skill development and maintenance practices\n\nClass prerequisites: Completion of a state handgun carry permit class or other comparative pistol shooting class. You should also have some experience safely handling\, drawing and holstering a pistol. If you have questions about suitability of the course\, please email us at info@CitizensSafety.com or text us at 615-801-8007.  \nStudents who complete the course will receive a completion certificate.  \nWhat you will need to take the course: \n\nA quality pistol recommend minimum of 9mm or .38 Special. We recommend full or compact sized guns for this class. Sub-compact guns are much harder to shoot all day. A second gun like the first one is a good idea in case the first one breaks.\nA quality strong side hip or appendix holster – either form fitted leather or kydex\, the holster must completely cover the trigger guard\, allow a full firing grip with the gun in the holster and remain open while the gun is drawn. PLEASE NO flimsy nylon or cloth holsters.\nA quality belt\, purposely designed to securely attach the holster to the belt and support the weight of a fully loaded pistol.\nAbout 550-600 rounds of quality training ammunition. If you can bring more do so\nAT LEAST 3 magazines or speed loaders with appropriate belt pouches for the spare magazines. The more magazines you bring\, the better.\nClothing appropriate for concealing a firearm (vest\, jacket\, windbreaker\, over-shirt\, polo shirt\, etc.). Holsters must be worn concealed. \nEye protection and hearing protection (we recommend electronic) and we recommend a ball cap or brimmed hat to keep brass from going behind your eye protection. \nComfortable shoes and clothing appropriate for the weather.\nRain gear (we train rain or shine)\, bug repellant\, and sun screen if necessary.\nA cooler with soft drinks\, water\, snacks and lunch will be needed\, for lunch on site.

SUMMARY:Safe Gun Handling & Marksmanship Clinic
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]So you’ve got your Tennessee Enhanced Carry Permit or Concealed Carry Permit. Excellent! Now what? Handgun permit training is a great start\, but it’s very basic\, focusing mostly on relevant statutes and safe handgun operation. It wasn’t created to teach you how to carry a handgun in public or use one to defend yourself from violent attack. Defending yourself with a handgun demands a level of skill. Developing the required skill takes more than one class\, it is a process that involves time\, instruction\, and structured practice. \nFor those who want to gain confidence and competence with their handgun we have the “After the Permit” series of clinics\, Safe Gun Handling & Marksmanship and Carrying & Drawing From a Holster clinics.[/vc_column_text][vc_tta_accordion style=”modern” shape=”square” color=”mulled-wine” c_icon=”chevron” active_section=”9″ no_fill=”true” collapsible_all=”true”][vc_tta_section title=”Course Details” tab_id=”section-course-details”][vc_column_text]Safe Gun Handling & Marksmanship Clinic is a half-day course that continues where the TN Enhanced Handgun Permit class ends. Topics include: \n\nA review of the rules of safe gun handling and how to apply them\nA deep review of defensive shooting fundamentals\nSafe loading\, unloading and storage of handguns\nHow to handle and operate a handgun in a comfortable\, safe and robust manner\nHow to practice for skill development\nAn introduction to accuracy standards\nProper “ready positions” and safe gun-handling\n\nCompletion of Safe Gun Handling & Marksmanship Clinic will prepare you for success in Drawing From a Holster Clinic\, where we introduce students to holster work and other defensive handgun techniques and applications.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Prerequisites” tab_id=”prerequisites”][vc_column_text]Although this course was designed for people who already have their handgun carry permit or are planning to obtain one soon\, completion of the Enhanced Handgun Permit course is not a requirement to attend this class.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Equipment List” tab_id=”equipment-list”][vc_column_text]Here’s what you’ll need to bring with you to class: \n\nReliable handgun (if you don’t have one you can borrow one of ours)\n100 rounds of quality practice ammo\nEye and ear protection (we can provide if you don’t have you own yet)\nNote-taking materials\nAnything you need to be comfortable in the elements (we use an outdoor shooting range)\n\nA more comprehensive list will be sent upon registration. You can also purchase ammunition from us if necessary. \nYou will not need a holster for this class.
