Do yourself a favor and take Cory’s class! I knew very little about handguns and I wanted to attend a class that was open and welcoming to everyone. I also wanted hands on experience while learning self defense and handgun basics. Cory is a thoughtful and engaging instructor. The class was the perfect size and I was also able to learn from fellow students who had more experience than me. It was a fun day and I picked up valuable skills and drills to work on at home and at the range. I have already recommended this class to others. I hope Cory is still teaching when I need to renew!

Great concealed carry class! This is not a boring class where you sit on your hands. Cory adds in some striking and grappling, along with safe pistol handling with plastic training guns, on his cushioned dojo mats. Then he takes you to a gun range. Highly recommend to women or people who aren't familiar with firearms.

Most training feels like a chore, but Corey facilitates a seamless transition from theory to tactical reality. The hands-on drills strip away the clumsy amateurism of a beginner, replacing it with the poise of a professional, if you continue to practice with the drills he provides. He teaches you how to think, handle, and utilize a weapon during your class and reminds you of the steps to be safe in a given situation. There always important, so you can remain F.I.N.E. He truly was wonderful to work with and I highly recommend him for firearm training.

This was my second time participating in this great concealed carry class. Both times were consistently the perfect blend of training that everyone should take to prepare them to everyday carry a firearm -- learning in the classroom and then practical hands-on experience. Be prepared for training in (unloaded) firearm handling, situational awareness exercises, non-firearm self-defense techniques, and then a fun time at the shooting range. Thanks, Corey!

This was my first class for concealed carry. My daughter and I both attended. It was a great experience for both of us. I was apprehensive at first about the requirements of the course and what would be covered. The material was covered in a way that someone with limited knowledge of the topic, like me, could fully grasp it. There were opportunities to take the classroom material and reinforce it in practical applications during the class. Range qualification was stress free and with the training we were given it went very smoothly. Mr. Albert was engaging, professional and knowledgeable and I would recommend his class highly.
