Conflict Resolution

Defensive Handgun Fundamentals

The Conflict Resolution course is a 3-hour, hands-on training designed to teach students how to recognize, avoid, and effectively manage conflict before it escalates. This course emphasizes awareness, communication, and composure under pressure—skills that are critical for personal safety and effective self-defense.

Students will begin by learning the fundamentals of conflict avoidance, including how to identify potential threats early and how to steer clear of confrontational situations altogether. The course then explores deescalation techniques, focusing on calm communication, tone of voice, and word choice to help defuse tense encounters. Participants will also study body posture and behavioral cues, gaining insight into reading others’ intentions and recognizing when a situation is about to become dangerous.

For those moments when conflict cannot be avoided, the class provides basic defensive tactics; simple, effective techniques designed to help you break contact and escape safely. These tactics emphasize control, awareness, and minimal use of force, aligning with the course’s focus on safety and responsibility.

Throughout the session, students will participate in guided discussions, demonstrations, and practical exercises to reinforce learning and build confidence.

Tuition: $60 per student

By the end of the course, students will leave with a deeper understanding of how to recognize and defuse potential threats, maintain situational awareness, and protect themselves and others through smart, practical, and controlled responses.
