DYNAMIC FIRST AID
Saturday February 4. One day general first aid class taught by Caleb Causey of Lone Star Medics. Suitable for all family members. Everyone in your family should have medical training. In the past 20 years I’ve used my medical skills many more times than my gun skills. Learn what to do in the time between the injury or accident occurs and when professional aid is available. Learn how to use modern medical gear, including tourniquets, and what gear you should have in your car, at home, and when you travel. Register here.
TEAM TACTICS
It’s not a “SWAT team” course. It’s a “friends and family” course teaching how to work with and around other armed (and unarmed) people in situations at home and in public. You don’t have to have a partner to attend. All students will rotate assignments and get to work with a variety of partners. Non-shooting slots are available at half price, so that the people that will be with you, when you need to use the skills taught in class, can get some training in what you will be doing and what they need to do, and can do, to assist or at least not impede your efforts to keep them safe.
This is not a class we offer very often. We scheduled it near Valentine’s Day so it could be a “couples” activity. It’s only 6 hours (9-3) so you can still get done with class and have a romantic evening out Saturday night. And we’re offering a partner discount so two can attend for $150 instead of $200 (paid in full in advance.)
UNARMED SELF DEFENSE TRAINING WITH CECIL BURCH
There is more to self-defense than just having a gun. Cecil Burch will be offering two stand-alone 1-day classes, one in techniques useful when standing up, and one in grappling/groundfighting. These classes are recommended for everyone, not just armed people. Suitable for all fitness levels. Unarmed training, like gun training, is not a “one and done” thing. Frequent, or at least annual refresher training will keep your skills at a useful level. The standing-up class is Saturday Feb 18 and the groundfighting class is Sunday Feb 19. Register here.
