Intuitive Self Protection

I had an excellent experience training with Hank. He places a huge emphasis on safety while also breaking down grip, stance, and the key fundamentals needed to improve accuracy. His instruction was clear, practical, and immediately helpful. Hank is extremely knowledgeable yet very down to earth, which made the class comfortable and confidence-building. From the start, I felt safe and knew I was in capable hands. He’s a true professional and an outstanding firearms instructor. Highly recommend.

I had the opportunity to take the Protective Pistol Level One Home and Office Structures course last weekend. I am an absolute novice and this was my first exposure to most of the course content. My experience was overwhelmingly positive and I was expertly coached and mentored throughout by Hank and Dan. I was challenged to push my personal envelope way beyond what I could have imagined. The result was a sense of achievement and confidence as well as pride in my accomplishments. Nervousness vanished and muscle memory built as I experienced neural pathway development, allowing me to participate in the exercises with growing abilities. The instruction and camaraderie, alongside the hand on activities were the perfect combination for me and my learning experience. I am a yoga instructor and therapist with several decades of experience so when I receive quality education I know it! First rate and I am looking forward to continuing with additional training.

I recently completed a gun training course with Hank, and it was an outstanding experience centered on safety, responsibility, and long-term skill development. From the very beginning, the course emphasized gun safety as the foundation of everything—safe handling, awareness, and disciplined habits were consistently reinforced until they felt second nature. Hank’s instruction on gun handling fundamentals was clear, methodical, and easy to understand, making complex concepts approachable without ever feeling rushed or overwhelming. What truly set this training apart was the framework Hank built around personal safety. He didn’t just teach how to operate a firearm; he focused on mindset, decision-making, and accountability, emphasizing when, why, and if a firearm should be used at all. His approach was professional yet personal—he took the time to engage, answer questions thoughtfully, and tailor guidance to my individual experience level. This course felt less like a one-time class and more like a springboard for continued learning and improvement. I would highly recommend this training to anyone looking to build a strong, safety-first foundation with a knowledgeable instructor who genuinely cares about his students and their growth.

Having never handled a firearm, I was a bit guarded going into the training. However, Hank put me at ease with a thorough understanding of safety, drawing a firearm from the holster, and how to get accurate shots. I just purchased my own handgun and look forward to using that knowledge to get more proficient with it.

Hank is super professional. His attention to safety and every detail are second to none. Highly recommend for anyone looking to get started or just wants to improve.
