Testimonials
"Prior to attending the Ronin course it was always tough to know exactly what to do in my own practice sessions to get better at weapons craft. What are the best drills and techniques? Hard to know with all the conflicting advice and "wanna-be" experts out there. Fortunately, the staff at Ronin Combat Strategies are the real deal - firearms experts with real-world experience who share their knowledge in a professional coaching environment. In a fast-paced course with "big boy" rules, they showed me exactly how to fight and survive with comprehensive, fight-tested tactics, drills, and exercises. Then, they threw in tons of trigger time to drive it into muscle memory. If you want to get a lot better with your rifle and handgun, and can afford only one course this year - This is it! Be ready to learn and shoot. You won't regret it."

"Never in my wildest imagination was I prepared for the energy level of the presentation by the tag team duo of Jason and Jabo. They completely got inside my OODA loop and stayed there. Even the typically boring first day morning admin stuff was good. I worked hard throughout the course to keep up, hanging on their every word, and the effort was most definitely worthwhile. They really and truly motivated me.
There is a distinct but often misunderstood difference in a "procedure" and a "technique". A procedure is a "You shall ..." sort of thing. A technique is a "You can..." concept. This nuance was not lost on these two instructors. I saw new but well grounded stuff, "techniques", with two guns I've been shooting for a long, long time. I saw things I thought I understood well enough to teach myself demonstrated in a manner totally outside my current level of expertise.
These two shooters, Jason and Jabo, will freely admit that they did not invent the bullet. Their program borrows heavily from the very best in the subject matter. Yet, their delivery of the course material is fresh, energetic, even forceful, and full of their own unique perspectives. You can go to shooting schools with big name recognition all over the country. Me, I'm glad the best kept secret in shooting courses is evolving right across that big ugly river, just 30 minutes away."

"Some of the best civilian/military/law enforcement training around. SWAT guys with a touch of military, how could you go wrong."

“I am living proof that you can teach an old dog new tricks. As a former 18 year veteran Team Leader/Operator of a major full time SWAT Team, I can attest to the skill sets that are taught in the Ronin Combat Strategies Tactical Pistol/Rifle course that I recently attended. The skills that are honed through repetition are real world friendly and practical, and not some new gimmick. If you are ever in a gun fight, the skill sets taught will keep you alive. Lets be honest, the reason for training is for survival. I have a personal and working relationship with the instructors of Ronin Combat Strategies. These guys are top of the food chain because for them it is a way of life and not a job. As you can tell I am a little bias towards the military/police side of the house, but I believe this course also offers a lot for the civilian gun enthusiast or weekend warrior as well. Remember SHOOT, MOVE, COMMUNICATE, and BE SAFE!"

“I have been in law enforcement and security for 37 years and a firearms instructor for 30 years. The training at Ronin Combat Strategies is some of the best firearms training I have seen. The instructors are experienced real-world operators, knowledgeable, and most importantly know how to impart this experience and knowledge to their students. I highly recommend the training at Ronin Combat Strategies for any law enforcement officer or private citizen that wants to increase or improve their firearms skills and techniques. The instructors and training are the real deal!”
