Brave Defender Training Group LLC

ABOUT

Brave Defender Training Group is proudly recognized as a Veteran Owned Business and is 100 percent owned by a Military and Law Enforcement Veteran that continues to serve in both roles.   Our strategy is to bring our experience and training to you.   We only employ instructors that have a background in Military or Law Enforcement instructing.  There are a tremendous number of instructors out there with various military experience, but sometimes that experience fails to translate into being an effective instructor or into civilian Law Enforcement application.  Our team is able to translate military combat experience into what applies for civilian Law Enforcement.  

​

There are many good tactics and techniques and many bad ones being taught.  We don't believe in a one size fits all approach to tactical problems.  With those concepts in mind we largely focus on principles to allow the user to be more flexible in their response to a situation.
