Upcoming pistol skills/decision making class at Atlanta Conservation Club

[BehindBlueI's]

I'm proud to announce that I will be guest instructing for Defensive Shooting Concepts in an upcoming class on July 31st.

I will be presenting material and shooting drills based on my own research and experience in decision making under stress, dealing with fear and it's effects on your decision making process, and how that effects your ability to fight and to shoot. Decision making pre-conflict, conflict, and post-conflict will be discussed and then practical drills will be ran using a crawl/walk/run philosophy of training. For those who are familiar with the OODA loop, this class will touch on OO but will focus primarily on D and A. If you're not familiar with the OODA loop, don't worry, we'll get you there.

Be advised: your training is not complete without a session with BBI.

If you have not taken one of Defensive Shooting Concepts classes please take the time to do so. I had the opportunity to attend one of his rifle and handgun classes this month. John not only has the skills to do all that he teaches but he has the skills to get you to a higher level of proficiency.
My classes were on the hottest weekend of the month(94degrees) and he was able to keep everyone engaged and at the same time run a safe and fun class.

This will be our first class together, but I'm looking forward to working with him.

I should add this class is limited to 12 slots, and like with the classes I teach with Coach with my schedule and getting that to sync up with other instructors' schedules, I'm not sure how often I'll be able to offer this.

 

[Tanfodude]

Considering this.

 

[Onionsanddragons]

Oh, boy! Gotta see if I can get that day off.

 

[Defensive Shooting Concepts]

Really looking forward to teaching this class with BehindBlueI's. I had a chance to spend three days with him at Langdon Tactical Pistol Instructor training and was very impressed with his knowledge and skill set. Sign up today before the class fills up. I believe you will be very glad you did.

I've been interested in taking my first formal training class. I've been wanting to take a BBI class for awhile now. Would this be a good one to start with? I'm not a newbie and have good fundamentals, but have no formal training and would like to get my feet wet in the world of training.

Yup. There are no prerequisites other than basic gun handling. This class will be different then the one I teach with Coach, with a different focus. Start with either or both, and I think you'll get something from each regardless or order.

 

[T-DOGG]

Just signed up and made payment. Look forward to meeting you folks on the 31st. Thanks in advance for doing this. I'm hoping this will be a great first step for me.

 

[BehindBlueI's]

The host has informed me the class is already half full, so thanks to those who've signed up.

 

[Onionsanddragons]

Got the day off, just signed up!

Very much looking forward to meeting you in person, BBIs.

Q: is it encouraged to bring a blue gun as well if we have them? It sounds like the sort of class that might wind up being useful for. I can bring a few if it's helpful.

Also sending you a PM with another question I'd prefer discussed in private.

 

[BehindBlueI's]

75% full.

 

[Defensive Shooting Concepts]

If you have been considering this class don't wait any longer, only two spots remain!

 

[BehindBlueI's]

Class is full, thanks for your interest. I look forward to seeing many of you there.

 

[T-DOGG]

This was a great class today and made a fantastic stepping stone for me. I feel more ready and willing to progress forward with more classes. Thank you both for doing this, for making it affordable, and for making it educational along with being fun and enjoyable as well.

A few side notes:
- Commanding paper targets using "adult" language was probably more fun that it should have been.
- I received a new nick name: "High Speed"
- Water was my friend today.
- The A/C in my car on the way home was fantastic and almost put me to sleep.

 

[DVS9MM]

Fantastic class today! It was great to have the expertise of both Jonathan and Blue involved. They are both excellent instructors, and not only make the class informative, but fun as well. I learned a great deal of practical knowledge that could be helpful in the "real" world vs things that would help in competition matches. Thank you for sharing your law enforcement background and experience with us common folk.

And note to self...always put ammo in my gun if I want it to fire

 

[BehindBlueI's]

Thanks to everyone who attended. I truly appreciate the safe gun handling, showing up ready to learn, and getting through a hot and sticky training day. Any feedback of what you'd like to see more of, less of, etc. is welcome. Feel free to PM me if you'd rather not do it publicly. You're not going to hurt my feelings, it's how we make the program better.

For those of you who were interested but the class filled up before you could get in, I think we're going to be able to run this again in late summer or early fall.

 

[T-DOGG]

I also want to mention that both instructors, Jon and Blue, exceeded my expectations. They are extremely knowledgeable in what they do, yet they're down to earth and approachable. So for anyone who is on the fence about training with either of these two, don't wait any longer, sign up today because you won't regret it. It's time and money well spent. I will be back for more.

 

[Defensive Shooting Concepts]

Thank you to all who attended this training. It is always an honor to meet like minded people that take their safety and the safety of others very seriously. Thank you for being focused on the training and safe with your shooting. What a great group of people. Train hard and stay safe.
