ARE YOU READY?
The Instructors at Diversified Defense put safety first and foremost. We cater to teaching students how to defend themselves in real-life situations, by means of firearms, other weapons, or open-hand. Instructors are able to adjust class depth to make sure all attendees feel welcome and challenged, but not overwhelmed. Our instructors hope to share the passion and joy of shooting with others, while teaching the personal safety along the way.
