I took the AP1 class with Marshall, Lance, and Kai last weekend, and as I expected, it was awsome. This was my second time attending the AP1 class, and my third class at TDSA. I am going to continue going to the range as often as I can, and I can't wait for my fourth one. It is amazing how much more I learned this second time at the AP1 class. This class will make you a better shooter regardless of your experience. Marshall, Lance, and Kai, a big thanks to you guys; you are the best instructors and, life coaches anywere. See you guys soon.

What can I write about the TDSA AP-1 course? It is difficult to put it into words; however, WOW does a pretty good job expressing my enthusiasm after taking it. In a single weekend, I went from a clumsy, newbie pistol owner with few skills to an informed and confident shooter. I know that if I practice what Marshall and his fabulous instructors taught me, it will allow me to excel in IPSC shooting, and possibly save my life if I ever have to use my pistol for defense. I now understand the basic elements of accurate and fast combat shooting. The experience totally exceeded my expectations and it was fun! I almost could not believe I was the same person with my pistol at 6:00 PM on Sunday that I was at 8:00 AM Saturday when class started. My pistol owned and controlled me, but now I own and control it. I never applied for my CC permit even though I took the "minimum required" training because I felt carrying a pistol would only be a false sense of security. Deep down I knew that if I ever had to depend on using my weapon, things probably would turn out badly for me or my family. I no longer will have those lingering doubts, because TDSA taught me how to become confident and skilled in the use of my pistol. If you own a handgun for defense, take this class no matter what skill level you think you might be at. I will definitely be another student of TDSA in the future. Why? Because the cost of being educated and alive pales to the cost of being ignorant and dead.

I took the AP1 course on July 10-11. This was my first time attending a TDSA course and I am extremely impressed with the experience. I could not believe how much my shooting improved over just 2 days, and how much fun I had in the process. Marshall and his instructors are top notch shooters and more importantly they are top notch teachers. I will definitely return for as many of their courses as I can attend. I would recommend this course to anyone who is interested in learning to shoot better regardless of current skill level. If you carry a gun for self defense you owe it to yourself to take this class. You will not regret it.

I took a Advanced Combat Chotgun course at the end of May with TDSA. I work in Security & this was my first course to take with the TDSA team. I thought I knew a shotgun fairly well, WOW was I mistaken. I learned so much valuable information in such a short amount of time it was unbelieveable. They put everything in lamens terms & don't try to teach above everyone's heads. You might think the courses are a little expensive but what amount of money do you put on a human life. The training is top notch & very useful. the class requires a pre test & post test in skill & I reduced my time by about 60% from pre to post. I will admit I was skeptical going into the class, but they made me a believer in just 2 days. I look forward to taking more classes with Marshall & the TDSA team. If you want to learn valuable skills to last a lifetime, take any of their classes. High praises go out from me to Marshall & Eric on the shotgun class, it was hotter than hell for that early in the summer but they still made the class fun & informative. I had taken some classes by another instructor in the OKC area & didnt learn half of what I learned in TDSA class. Keep up the good work guys......

It's been a month since I was fortunate to attend TDSA’s June 5-6 Advanced Combat Pistol I course. I’ve waited to write up the course until doing some shooting and dry practice on my own. I’m a private citizen, CWL holder, and action pistol competitor. I've taken defensive pistol and rifle courses from four different schools, including other big names that you might have heard of. They ranged from excellent to unacceptable. However, TDSA's courses are the most intense and engaging I've taken. The key to TDSA classes is the presence of a large, highly skilled cadre of instructors. The student-faculty ratio is high. After the class, I realized that every instructor had given me at least one individually focused, specific tip that improved my shooting. I left the course with: * a new approach to trigger management * a new approach to slide-lock reloads * an excellent tip on how to avoid ingraining bad habits during my practice sessions * a way to speed up my target transitions, without losing accuracy * a way to simplify my draw from concealment. (I shot the whole class from concealment, which TDSA welcomed. I strongly recommend you consider this if your main interest is lawful concealed carry, and you are safe with your carry holster.) This is serious training whose aim is to ingrain correct fundamentals to a point that you can maintain and develop them through EFFECTIVE practice on your own. The instructors welcome questions and give reasoned explanations for why a particular technique is best. I'd sometimes looked at firearm training and wondered, “Why is it such a big deal *exactly* how you perform a draw, reload, etc.? Isn’t a lot of that detail just affectation?” What I started to see in ACP I, as we began to integrate the techniques, was that fundamentals need to be formed precisely and correctly for the same reason a NASCAR engine’s parts need to be machined precisely and correctly. They are pieces that are meant to work together, rapidly and powerfully, under great heat and stress. Is that a basic insight? Maybe, but I hadn’t grasped it before this class. The training gives you a new set of “eyes” for what you’re doing right and what needs work. I would characterize the prevailing atmosphere in ACP I as Switched On. Focused but informal. Often funny. The teaching incorporates a lot of educational technique: they use drills, demos, explanations, diagrams, jingles (sing: "push the button, regrip the gun, look, seat, ...") motivational psychology, whatever will build skills and proper attitude. I have traveled over 500 miles for training before and not always been satisfied. I am very willing to get up at dawn and drive 100 miles for TDSA's classes. The quality of training is more than worth it. PS: Money's a little tight in my family right now because we are renovating our new house. I sold off a nice gun to afford ACP I and I don't regret it for a moment. Instead of having a huge safe full of expensive guns, seek a balanced portfolio: quality guns plus quality training.
