Welcome to the KR Training June 2019 newsletter!
We’ve added more classes to our schedule through the end of the year and into 2020. Sign up now for any classes on the schedule by clicking the “Register” link at the top of the page. Check the schedule page on the KR Training website for the full list of upcoming classes.
JULY CLASSES
After a break the first weekend of the month, we’re offering the 2-day Active Shooter/School Safety training July 13-14. If you aren’t seeking DPS certification, you can opt to attend only the lecture portion of the class at no charge. The lecture portion is suitable for armed or unarmed civilian response and will be followed by a FREE, 2-hour Stop the Bleed course.
This summer is a prime opportunity to begin our Defensive Pistol Skills Program and begin earning your challenge coin. KR Training Instructor John Daub will teach Personal Tactics Skills July 27, Defensive Pistol Skills 1 August 17, then Top 10 Drills August 27. Top 10 Drills runs students through the 10 drills John and I identify in our book as an essential training set, and it counts as elective hours toward your challenge coin.
