Real protectors never stop being students. Before stepping foot on the range, the real work begins in the classroom. Great session today with these guys dedicating their time to master the fundamentals of rifle craft. They aren't just here to learn; they are putting in the work to become better, safer, and more capable protectors for their families. True capability requires continuous improvement.

🎉 Texas, we love you! 🎉

Can you believe it? This month marks 6 years since we made the move to the Lone Star State, and we couldn’t be more grateful for this amazing community.

Our journey started in 2004, took us through 15 years of teaching in Nevada, and even included a brief stint building a dojo in Central America. But by May 2020, we felt a calling to plant our roots right here in Liberty Hill, Texas. In February 2021, Urban Defense Academy officially opened its doors (right before the Ice-pocalypse! )

We’ve evolved a lot since then! To give you the absolute best experience, we split our passions into two specialized tracks:

Urban Defense Academy: Exclusively focused on top-tier fi****ms training, realistic crisis management, and building the mindset to protect what matters most.

Shin Gan Dojo: Our sister school, dedicated entirely to traditional Japanese martial arts.

At the end of the day, we do this because we believe in freedom, safety, and your innate right to protect your loved ones. We aren't just teaching skills; we're offering peace of mind.

Thank you, Texas, for welcoming us with open arms. Here’s to many more years of training, empowering, and keeping our community safe! 🦅🇺🇸

Words can never truly repay the incredible debt we owe to the men and women who laid down their lives for our freedoms. But we believe that through our actions, by living with fortitude, refusing to take our liberties for granted, and honoring the vision they fought for, we can strive to keep faith with their ultimate sacrifice.

This Memorial Day weekend, we chose to honor that spirit by putting ourselves to the test at the Rifleman Roundup. We tackled a 6-mile run-n-gun biathlon with 6 rigorous shooting stages.

We will be the first to admit: we are not elite endurance athletes! But that is exactly why we do it. It isn't about being the fastest on the leaderboards; it’s about getting out into the elements with fellow shooting enthusiasts and testing the absolute limits of our endurance, our skill, and our gear.

The camaraderie out on the course was incredible, and it was a powerful reminder of the strong, resilient community we are so privileged to be a part of.

Wishing you all a meaningful and reflective Memorial Day. 🇺🇸

Thank you Mystery Ops for putting on a great event!

Real proficiency isn't built in a single marathon session, it's built through relentless repetition.
