Program Overview

Citizen Defender integrates firearms safety and practical defensive tactics with our ClearSky hand-to-hand system. Sessions cover awareness, safe handling, retention, transitions between empty-hand and holster, & low-stress decision making. We train for real life — not competition.

Class Safety Protocol — Read Carefully

1. No weapons or ammunition of any sort are allowed in the building. This includes firearms, live ammunition, knives, or any replica loaded items.
2. If anyone leaves the training area, they must be buddy-checked by two people before re-entering the training area.
3. If someone perceives a dangerous or unsafe situation, loudly shout “CEASE FIRE!” until instructions are given and everyone points training weapons in the safest possible direction.
4. If an activity makes you uncomfortable, tell the instructor before participating.
5. Unsafe behavior will not be tolerated. We maintain a strict safety-first environment at all times.

Class Attire & Gear

• Pants with belt loops & your own belt recommended (we have belts available if needed).
• Please bring a separate pair of training shoes to wear on the mats.
• If you have a gun belt & Glock 17/19 holster, bring them; we also have holsters & belts you can use during class.

Conduct & What We Expect

We teach responsibility, legal awareness, and safe technique. Respect instructors, partners, and the space. If you want real training and real results, show up ready to learn—no ego, no shortcuts.
