EDC Comabtive's w/ Rectitude Training

This course is designed to help prepare responsibly armed citizens, who choose to carry a firearm for defensive purposes, bridging the gap of theory-based self-defense preparation with real-world applicable skills development. Both the armed encounter and the hand-to-hand defensive engagement are covered in this course. Simply put, “I’ll just shoot him” is not a valid plan of action for the critical thinker/ EDC practitioner. (w/Combatives Instructor Kerry "Kato" Murakami)
