I Would Just Shoot Them

What is the issue: One of the most dangerous myths in self-defense is the phrase, "Just shoot them." If there were a top 10 list of misguided ideas in personal protection, this would be near the top. Why? Because it grossly oversimplifies a complex, high-stakes scenario.


Takeaway: Self-defense isn’t about flashy techniques or overconfidence in a single tool. It’s about preparation, simplicity, and realism. Ditch the "just shoot them" mindset.

Insiders Look at Shivworks

We had ECQC Ohio 2025 this past weekend. It was wet and muddy. We saw a lot of skilled people have extreme challenges performing under the adverse condition. getting a grip on the other person, cover garments, or weapons was a nightmare. It was a strong reminder of how much training we do in place designed for our comfort and safety and how important it is to remember the possibly conditions that might be present in a real-world event. 


What others are saying...

One the best classes I have taken. It was a real eye opener and made me wanna take more courses similar. Instructors were amazing.
