Intuitive Defensive Shooting

Intuitive Defensive Shooting (IDS) program helps students build the basic shooting competencies needed to respond to lethal threats in surprising and chaotic worst-case scenarios. Students will learn how to train for these incidents by leveraging the body’s natural reactions in ways that increase the chances of success with the least time, effort, and energy as possible.

Though every class can be different depending on the unique needs of the attending students, the basic full day program typically covers the following areas:

• Fundamentals of stance, grip, and trigger control in a self defense context
• Drawing from a holster and getting defensive accurate hits with the right balance of speed and precision in a variety of circumstances
• How to leverage the bodies natural “fight or flight” reactions to train for realistic defensive use of a firearm
• Dealing with multiple threats
• Incorporating lateral movement, cognitive processing, and situational assessment into your training
• Emergency reloads during an incident
• Live fire drills to build new skills and simulations to evaluate student progress
• Individualized guidance on how to practice after the class so you can continue your skill development as your budget and time permit
