Our Philosophy

We believe that fundamentals are the cornerstone of survival. The advanced techniques only exist when built on a foundation of good, rock-solid basics. Ironically, it is usually only the truly 'advanced' student who fully appreciates the importance of continuous refocus on the basics.

While at Defensive Shooting Instructors our students develop and maintain a "Prevailing Mindset" under our instruction, and carry it with them when they leave. They understand that our fundamentals will make them more effective with their firearms in a variety of stressful environments. Also, they realize what their realistic speed, accuracy, and abilities will be under different levels of stress.

• Our Philosophy can be broken down into
• three different categories for explanation:
• 1) Our cadre of Instructors
• 2) Our Curriculum
• 3) Our Training Program
