What's up Team?? I hope everyone is having a great weekend. Saturday was an amazing day at FTD. Concepts of Defensive Pistol was on tap.

The sun was out and the guns were out. The students that participated in CDP were absolutely amazing. They had such great motivation and discipline, even after the required curriculum and real life scenarios, they pushed on and wanted to keep running different types of scenarios.

When you have students that are that motivated, it just reminds me of why we do this. They understand now is the time to train and train hard. Don't wait until the wolf is at the door. You cant depend on help that is minutes away when seconds count.

I would like to recognize one student that has started his self-defense journey with FTD, and continues to train and take every class offered. Jason Savage started training a little over 3 months ago. He continues to put in 💯 every time he walks on the range. So until next time be safe, be vigilant, and watch your six!

What's up Team?? Here it is almost Monday again, why does the weekends go so fast?? Well, one reason is if you are doing something that you like (like spreading freedom seeds with friends) you hardly look at the time.

Well FTD certainly has a great weekend coming up for you on September 12th. It is our Concepts of Defensive Pistol. This is the next course to take, if you are serious about protecting yourself and your love ones. You will get a lot of range time and a lot of real world scenarios. Seats are already filling up so get to our website and get registered. Remember dont wait for the perfect time to get that perfect shot, you will only die with a full magazine. Be the asset not the problem. Until next time be safe, be vigilant and watch your six.

Whats up Team?? Another great WV Concealed Carry Course today. There was rumbles of thunder in the morning, but the rumbling of freedom seeds set the sounds for the afternoon range time.

The amount of students were few, but the energy was off the charts, with 4 of the students continuing their fi****ms training with FTD and already talking about the next step in their self-defense journey.

It was an amazing day of learning and fun. A big shout out to Lori Claypole, she completed our Introduction to Handgun and Self-Defense Fundamentals Course in February and worked and trained to be able to stay on top of her game until time would let her come back to take another course. You are amazing lady warrior, keep training and keep moving forward. Until next time be safe, be vigilant, and watch your six!
