This course is being offered by Precision Applications, LLC. It will be taught indoors at TruPrep in Marietta GA. The class will start at 1000hrs and run until 1800hrs, with a 1 hour break for lunch.

TruPrep
1000 Cobb Pkwy N
Marietta, GA 30062

Topics covered will include, but are not limited to:
Firearms retention
Firearms "take backs"
Offensive knife
Open-handed knife defense

The class will center around the handgun-carrying individual. On the knife work, the main gist will be how to defend against the sudden attack and access your firearm. This class is an excellent follow-on or precursor to my Extreme Close Quarters Shooting Class, as well as being a must for anyone who carries a handgun on a regular basis.

Your required gear will include your duty/carry handgun, along with the rig that you use for regular carry. If you are carrying with a CCW, or a LEO carrying UC or plainclothes, then a covering garment is required as well.

In addition to your duty/carry handgun, all students will be required to bring a Blade Tech Training Barrel (or similar) to the class so that you can train with your actual handgun. If a Blade Tech Training Barrel is not available for the pistol you wish to bring to the class, or you wish to use a revolver, please contact me so that I can provide an alternate means of rendering your pistol temporarily safe to be used in a classroom environment.

Dress comfortably; we'll be in a mat room and getting a bit sweaty and the course will be physical.

I will be assisting in the class; the Primary Instructor will be Jeff Edwards. Jeff has been in Law Enforcement for 20 years. He retired from St. Tammany Parish Sheriffs Office in Louisiana in 2002 and has been employed with Department of Homeland Security since then. Jeff was on the Sheriff’s SWAT Team where he served as Team Leader for the last two years. He was a Sergeant on Criminal Patrol before transferring to the Sheriffs Office Training Division. Jeff holds numerous Instructor certifications including Louisiana POST Certified Firearms Instructor, Defensive Tactics Instructor, and Emergency Vehicle Driving Instructor, while maintaining his role as SWAT Team Leader. Currently he is employed by the US Government where he is certified as a Federal Firearms Instructor, Defensive Measures Instructor, and a Tactics Instructor. Jeff has had extensive handgun, shotgun, and tactical rifle training from several courses throughout the country. He has trained or trained with personnel from specialized military units such as US Army Rangers, Delta, and US Navy SEALs. While in the Atlanta area Jeff has trained numerous Local, State, and Federal Agencies with an emphasis on combat related issues. Jeff is certified as a Personal Trainer with the International Fitness Association and a Law Enforcement Fitness Coordinator through the Cooper Institute. His physical fitness training consists of weightlifting, cross-fit exercising, and martial arts (Muay Thai).

The class will be limited to 12 students at a fee of $175 per student. I accept checks or MO's, and will accept PayPal for an additional 3.5%. Course fees are due in advance to reserve your slot.

If you would like Georgia POST credit, or a certificate, please let me know in advance.

Do not hesitate to contact me with any questions.

Semper Fi!

Hey Shepp, I don't even know where to begin! That was such an awesome and very well put together class , I had a blast ! The one thang that comes to mind first is how humble you and Jeff really are. I have no doubt in my mind if either one of you wanted to take any one of us down or really take a weapon from us u guys could have done it with ease ! As a post instructor myself I know how important it is to keep the attention of your students. I have been in classes where the instructor wants to show off and picks the biggest student in the class and breaks him right out of the gate. From this point forward all other students do whatever they can to keep from being injured and all the techniques go out the window and they don't remember anything about the class. You guys kept the attention of every student until the very end of the class. Every student practiced the techniques over and over and even picked your brains to learn more. That says so much about you guys as instructors! You guys are very well respected. I overheard a few students say where they lived and drove from and I believe I heard one guy say he came from Mississippi!! That is awesome! I appreciate all the real life stories you told to make people realize how dangerous people can really be. Thank you for your hard work in putting this class together and really caring about your students. I walked away from your class with techniques I can and have already practiced and will continue to practice. You and Jeff are very much appreciated! Thank you again for all you did for us yesterday! That was indeed one awesome class! Should you ever need anything from me please never hesitate to call or text anytime . Take care my friend!
