Testimonial
“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!"
