Incredibly Thorough!! Rick and Carl are an incredible duo. The amount of information they pack into the 4 hour class is staggering! These guys are true ambassadors to safe and lawful gun ownership. Highly recommend!!

Everything thing about defensive edge is exactly what you look for in a good martial arts school. I’ve had experience now training with their mixed martial arts classes and their both fantastic. I recently took the fire arm safety class at his gym and it was extremely well done. I actually challenge you to find a more qualified instructor then Rick in the area. He is not only very skilled with fire arms but with a wide variety of arts as well. There MMA coach Connor is an experienced professional in mixed martial arts and he heads up there MMA program. He’s a great person and you’ll have a blast training with him

Last Sunday my husband and I took the school’s Firearms safety class. Our instructor, Rick Alford, made me feel comfortable right from the moment we walked in. His background in self defense, martial arts, and teaching definitely showed in his patient and knowledgeable manner. I was excited to see that he is very knowledgeable of many different types of firearms. Part of the reason I chose this class is because of the hands-on training we received. We were able to practice safely loading and unloading different guns (no live ammo), an experience that a lot of other schools do not offer. I absolutely recommend this class, as it is taught by a range officer with much experience.
