One of the most important steps toward ensuring your own safety is having a personal safety strategy in place before you need it. NRA’s Refuse To Be A Victim® program teaches the tips and techniques you need to be alerted to dangerous situations and to avoid criminal confrontation.

Classes can be scheduled for individuals of all ages. Today, thousands of federal, state and local law enforcement officials and civilians from across the nation utilize this popular program in their crime prevention and community policing initiatives to help protect their communities.

Corporations, educational institutions, and community centers have also adopted the program. All told, more than 120,000 people have benefited from these seminars.

Firmly grounded in Kung-Fu and Ninjutsu, the DAC self-defense programs is not a classic martial arts system.  Martial arts systems are usually a complex series of physical exercise, history and sport fighting and their actual self-defense use can takes years to become proficient at.

Self-defense is more about defending yourself physically or verbally against an attacker.  The DAC includes soft skills such as verbal aggression management, body language, awareness of attack, avoidance of attack, crime prevention, threat management and de-escalation along with a minimal set of techniques to get you out of a majority of situations.  Something you can master in months, not years of study.

When properly trained and deployed, OC Spray is one of the most powerful self-defense tools available.

DAC provides two types of personal safety training courses led by certified instructors - the Civilian Safety "OC Practical" course and the College Safety Program. Our trained and certified instructors designed classes to educate on everyday safety techniques for college students and independent adults in realistic situations not canned "guaranteed success" type training.  

Integrating Movement & Power evolved from an observation of a significant missing component in the realm of self-defense training.  The fundamentals of awareness, reaction timing, basic blocking, striking, evasion and the generation of power are a necessary part of self defense regardless of the tools used.  This class teaches those important skills and it is up to YOU to integrate YOUR force multiplier into the techniques you've learned.  Normally, firearm, TASER or OC Spray class is a prerequisite for this course but based on your situation and experience, exceptions can be made.

Our Home Defense class is a unique class which integrates parts of the C.A.R.E and Refuse to be a Victim courses as they apply to your specific world and home.  Security, lighting, and even landscaping is discussed while helping you to safely integrate your home defense options to create a functional and practical home defense plan.  Due to the uniqueness of this class, the class time can vary.  Booking this class will not incur any charges prior to the class.  Anticipate 2 to 3 hours.

If self-defense training isn't right for you, we offer the NRA Marksmanship Simulator Course.  The course teaches basic marksmanship fundamentals and firearm safety using a simulated pistol with a resetting trigger and laser to indicate where the shots hit. The NRA Pistol Marksmanship Simulator Training Course teaches the fundamentals of sight alignment, trigger control, grip, and breath control. At the completion of the course, an NRA participation certificate is awarded. 

The DAC Defensive Simulation Course is a great way for people who are familiar with firearms to delve into the world of responsible defensive carry.  This class leverages our 5 digital simulator lanes and starts with the differences between marksmanship, hobby shooting and self-defense and starts working on the skills and content for presentation from concealment, decision support and moving to cover and barrier use.

Date Night is a spinoff of our Firearm Fundamentals class designed for couples.  The is designed as a starting point to develop the neural pathways and develop muscle memory to build the skills and confidence to handle firearms safely.  This class normally runs just a little bit longer than the regular fundamentals class but the second student does not incur any hourly class charges, just ammo costs.

Date Night covers how to manipulate a firearm, clear it properly and handle it safely.  You will learn the foundation of self-study and practice to ensure these skills are ready in a crisis situation.

Firearm fundamentals provides a solid foundation of the basics.  It's designed as a starting point to develop the neural pathways and develop muscle memory to build the skills and confidence to handle firearms safely.
It's not just for beginners but anyone who is planning to handle a firearm. Even experienced shooters benefit because the fundamentals never change and we all have space to improve.

Firearm Fundamentals covers how to manipulate a firearm, clear it properly and handle it safely while teaching the skills to not have to think through the process in a crisis.
