Able Shepherd™ is the standards-setting, nationally-recognized progressive training program designed to teach men and women situational leadership and protective tactics that can be applied to virtually any threatened environment. We operate from the belief that your family’s  immediate safety cannot be delegated; you can be the fastest and most capable ‘first responder’ in your immediate vicinity.

At its core, Able Shepherd™ is an elite level self-defense program utilizing armed and unarmed tactics. Graduates become known as “Able  Shepherds,” gaining skills that empower themselves to actively protect, guide and strengthen their communities. Our goal is to make you and  those around you safer. We do this by holding you to the highest of moral, ethical and tactical standards.

According to the FBI, Active Shooter Incidents are on the rise and the majority of them occur in places of business. Active shooter response training offers comprehensive preparedness for life-threatening situations.

No matter who you are or what your level of training, we specialize in helping you reach your personal objectives at YOUR pace, safely. Start by building a strong foundation in the Protecting Our People class (POP).

Partner with us as you progress through the phase lines from Phase 1 Pistol-Static (Foundation), Phase 2 Pistol-Dynamic (Tactical Movement), Phase 3 Rifle w/ Pistol-Dynamic (Primary/Secondary Firearms with Tactical Movement) and achieve the designation of ABLE SHEPHERD to continue on to further advance your Tactical Response Capability.
