Learn to wield your pistol as you’ve never seen before with our Beginner Pistol Kata, where you'll be guided by an expert instructor with decades of martial arts experience and trained in armed security.

Interested in learning a new way to do things in a fun and supportive environment?  Then this class is for you!  The instructor will provide history and context as he guides you through an organized sequence of movements designed to imprint your muscle memory with exercises and drills that improve your accuracy, speed, and control.  

From the first drawstroke, each sequence performed is designed to teach a practical technique which can be applied in a real-life defensive situation, minimizing risk to yourself and maximizing effectiveness as you engage targets at varying ranges.

In the Beginner Pistol Kata, we will focus on drawing from concealment, gun ready positions, transitions and footwork, traversing, and using situational awareness to guide our decisions in which methods to employ.

Throughout the class, you'll have plenty of opportunities to practice and receive personalized feedback to enhance your technique. Don't miss out on this rare chance to expose yourself to innovative concepts and train alongside fellow enthusiasts.  See you there!
