Practical Close-Quarters Defense for the Places That Matter Most

Violent encounters don’t happen on flat ranges or in controlled environments—they happen in hallways, doorways, stairwells, and bedrooms. Home Defender is a civilian-focused course designed to teach responsible, practical methods for defending and securing a home when avoidance is no longer possible.

This course introduces students to the realities of close-quarters movement and structure defense, emphasizing decision-making, positioning, angles, and threat management inside residential environments. The goal is not speed or aggression—it is clarity, control, and survival.
