I will be in OKC Oct 22-23 teaching my Close Contact Handgun course.
This class is about NOT GOING HANDS ON. It is all about how to minimize that chance. Which sounds super easy (and we have all the nice pithy phrases to give us mental comfort) but is actually incredibly difficult.
This is the fundamental base where we try to ensure that we don’t end up in an entanglement, and we can use our handgun to maximum effect. There is some very minor physical contact in the class, but it is extremely limited, making the course suitable for anyone who is looking to get their feet wet in the close range self-defense envelope.
In this class we will look at ways to maintain distance, using verbalization, footwork, positioning, and awareness to keep distance from an aggressive criminal, and to utilize the pistol in a manner in which we can prevent him from stopping us. The focus is on NOT getting entangled and having to get into a physical fight, but rather to use the pistol the way it is intended to be used – at a distance.
