The Ronin

In feudal Japan, a Ronin was a samurai warrior who, either by consequence or by choice, had no lord or master. These samurai were wanderers who sought honor, purpose, and the mastery of their weapons. The most famous Ronin was Miyamoto Musashi, whose text The Book of Five Rings, is still considered a classic resource on combat strategy. Miyamoto differed from his peers in that he disregarded sword handling showmanship in favor of more efficient but brutal weapons manipulation. He also believed in achieving complete ability with both the longer katana and the shorter wakizashi swords, akin to being proficient with both assault rifle and handgun. Like these samurai, we at Ronin Combat Strategies are dedicated to becoming machine-like with our weapons through the intense study of simple but deadly fundamental skill sets. Founded by owners Jason Long and Jason Redding in 2009, Ronin Combat Strategies is committed to providing exceptional but affordable combatives training to Law Enforcement Officers, Military Personnel, and qualified United States citizens. We hope that you will join us on our journey...

Testimonial

"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."
