Does anybody know of a good defence course on the dry side? I usually try to take one class every year to keep the skills up but have slacked when i moved back to Spokane. Does anyone know of a decent course over here?
ETA: im looking for handgun oriented classes, things that deal not just with shooting but with disarming and retention. |

I've never run across a firearms training school (for civvies at least) that had disarm techniques as part of the curriculum. Retention techniques, yes, disarm, no. Usually the case is that you find good shooting training, and then find a good unarmed combat training (Karate, etc) elsewhere that actually teaches that sort of thing. This can prove problomatic as many martial arts dojo's don't want to go sidstep into the gun world, so you'll probably strike out a few times while looking for a dojo that does. Your best luck will be finding a dojo that's run by a cop in their off time or by a former cop. |
| yeah the only disarming training i ever got was actually from guys i knew that were SF just hanging out in the barracks. i really think that should be part of handgun classes, if you know how to disarm someone i think youll be better prepared to retain your weapon... |

Contact this guy, he has more knowledge than most people I have ever worked for combined. Great guy, Instructor and Shooter. Force Options |

I think Insights may have a class that covers that.
Also, Aikido Eastside offers a defensive tactics class which I took for several years. He touched on weapons disarming. The instructor taught defensive tactics at bellevue community college. I believe he is highly qualified, and at the least very entertaining. Oh, just realized after I typed this that you meant eastern washington... sorry, not helpful. |

There is Insights over on the west side which, in my opinion is worth going over for. They offer a much more in depth curriculum.
Masaad Ayoob's LFI teaches some courses in CdA once in awhile. I"d like to take one of those to check it out. Go to www.ayoob.com and check out the schedule. I think there may be some courses left in 2009. Thats all I know about, share the info if find more. Thx |
