** We practice Unarmed Defense one hour before each class every month. If you have been through the class, you may participate, if not, you can come and watch.

There are some changes from previous years. Pistol I is now $5.00. Still a bargain by any measure. Level I Shotgun, Rifle, and Unarmed Self Defense are still free. Level III Pistol has some content changes. You no longer have to bring anything.

General Class size. This was a mixed Pistol class.


Repeat of basic safety rules via RSO and Head Instructor.


End of class discussion. Using blue gun to demonstrate various holsters required for Pistol 3 (Taught in March and August).


If you want to get in on the ground floor, or get your spouse/gf/co-worker out shooting in a non-threatening opportunity, there will be plenty of NRA certified trainers available to get them acquainted to firearms.

We go from the basics (Pistol I) through malfunction drills, 5 count draw, and basic tactics through our shoothouse (Pistol IV).

Hope to see you all at least once during 2012.

Train hard, fight easy.

If your wife, girlfriend, or female coworker has had a little shooting experience and would like to join us next month, please do. Pistol 2 includes autos. We will be shooting .22's, 9mm, and .40. She may of course bring her own to shoot for the class.

$10 WOMEN'S PISTOL III CLASS

Saturday, March 3, from 1:00pm to 5ish. at the Manteca Sportsmen's Club, 30261 S. Airport Way, Manteca, CA

Pistol III Class - New Format!!!
$10.00 for women who have completed the Pistol II class and passed the test, or women who have had similar shooting experience (call for information). This class picks up where the Pistol II class left off. Bring your own pistol and ammunition or use a "class" 9mm or .40 caliber automatic. We shoot at steel and let you experience the difference between .38 Special and .357 Magnum. We begin the very basics of tactics, how to “slice the pie,” how to properly open doors, how to handle an intruder in your home.

We practice Unarmed Defense one hour before each class every month. If you have been through the Unarmed Defense class, you may participate, if not, you can come and watch.

Small class of 10. Not as many passed the test in pistol II as we would've liked.



Student. Blue gun in hand.

Class starts with shooting frangible ammunition on the cowboy action range. Once finished, the students were shown and practiced going through doorways and navigating right and left corners.

Bump for this Saturday.

May 19, 2012 - Sat. 1:00 pm, Women’s Empty Hand / Unarmed Defense I*

*Open for men and women.

Description: FREE for women and men who have little or no experience with self defense / martial arts. Learn the Reality-Based Martial Arts Techniques That Will Save Your Life. Like everything we do our training is based on real-world techniques of self defense and personal safety. Training that you can use in your everyday life. While some martial arts programs teach techniques that would rarely be encountered or used in real life situations, our martial arts program is street-wise and completely reality based. Our program is based on successfully integrating numerous styles of martial arts into one cohesive system. This system has proven very successful in defending oneself against single and multiple attackers, both armed and unarmed. Wear clothes you don’t mind getting dirty and are comfortable rolling around on the ground wearing. T-Shirts and sweats are favorites.

If you wish to come and observe, but not participate, you are welcome to do so.

We practice this one hour before each gun class every month. If you have been through the class, you may participate, if not, you can come and watch. Since this Saturday is the Empty Hand / Unarmed Defense Class itself, we will NOT be practicing one hour before class.
