Self Defense Courses 

Many of you have seen our videos on how we can shoot fast on target courses, but did you know that shooting fast in defense situations is not the only thing that matters. In fact its probably the last thing that matters.  Intuition, awareness, avoidance, and action is what can really save your life before you even come into contact with a possible threat.

Many target shooting and self defense enthusiasts have seen and studied our videos on how fast someone can actually shoot and maintain accuracy. But not enough people really go in and intensely study “the how one is able to shoot that fast while maintaining superb accuracy. Along the same lines, what makes your mind tic and make critical and possibly life saving high speed decisions in a defense situation, has always fascinated us here at RT.
