WHY WE PREPARE

Helping You Become A More Capable, Highly Skilled, Protector.

Our Mission

Give you the practical skills and confidence to be the protector your family can count on.

Howdy, I'm Woody

As A Husband and Father, I Understand the Profound Responsibility You Feel. You need proven and practical real-world defensive skills to protect your family in an unpredictable world, not a watered-down police or military program that doesn't translate to real everyday life.

I provide practical, civilian-focused training to help you protect your family.

After decades of experience with personal security and preparedness as a civilian, my approach is grounded in one thing: repeatable skills designed specifically for the realities of civilian life.

This is practical training you can actually use from a Veteran Firearms Instructor with...

  • 20+ Years of Real-World Experience: Decades of personal security and preparedness training.

  • 6+ Years of EDC Training Experience: Veteran Firearms Instructor with years of hands-on, live-fire coaching.

  • 100% Civilian-Focused: My approach is grounded in safe, effective repeatable skills designed for your life, not a combat zone.

Join hundreds of satisfied families who have gained the confidence and peace of mind that comes from being prepared.
