About Threat Response Training Group

Our Platform

At our core is the belief that anyone at any age can learn to live more safely and securely. That means everyone can improve their ability to protect and defend their families and themselves in some way.

Our Mission

"To transform the common ability to think and act into a personal, unique capability to defend—with clarity, purpose, and personal discipline."

Our Vision

"To build a community capable of personal defense—prepared to respond to potential and real threats with focus, resolve, and skill."

Our Perspective

Everyone is different. No one is the same height, weight, or build. No one sees life from the same perspective. Each of us lives our lives with different family, professional, relational, and social dynamics. Therefore, no one will defend in quite the same way....but everyone can learn to defend.

We Are Coaches

We don't consider ourselves teachers or instructors in the traditional sense.  We provide a floor of knowledge and then lead you, guide you and coach you to to help you build on that and develop your strategy that works best for you. 

We are Welcoming

We are thrilled to have anyone and everyone attend our classes and courses. We expect everyone to treat everyone else with respect and humility...making them feel as welcome as the first time they attended.

We are Principle Based

We don't teach what we call a linear version of personal defense. that is to say if they do "X", then you do "Y". We coach from a perspective of applied principles. Our perspective is that personal defense is a 10% physical endeavor and a 90% Intellectual and emotional discipline. Not everyone executes the same technique equally, therefore everyone will not defend the same way. If we can teach people how to think through a situation they will have a much better defensive strategy...one that fits them.
