Why I teach CFS

“Efficiency and consistency. The foundational point of entry in Combat Focus Shooting allows any diligent student to develop fundamental success. My charge is to start people on the path that promotes personal responsibility, situational awareness, and building a lifestyle of increased vigilance and security. From someone’s grandmother to a person with a disability to a novice shooter to an experienced professional, CFS offers lessons in efficiency and consistency that provide terrific success right out of the gate, and are applicable in many other aspects of life. It works beautifully with what the body does naturally. You can be safer, in the parking lot on the way out of an introductory class, than you’ve ever been in your life. You can be good enough to defend yourself immediately.”
