It was intense, a lot of physical stuff. I'm in my 50's and ( I thought) in pretty good shape, but it was still a very good workout. I learned quite a few things about self defense tactics and security awareness in general. The large class was full of really great supportive women and the instructors and their assistants were incredibly kind and knowledgeable. Despite it being a large class there were a good number of instuctors so the student to instructor ratio was fine. If I had a question there was always someone right there to answer it. Highly recommended!

I am thankful and sure glad I did because I must be able to protect myself and my family. I went in specifically for my concealed carry but much to my surprise I received more than that. By the end of the two days, I can honestly say I learned to be comfortable being uncomfortable. This class was not only informative it was so much fun!!! The way they teach is unlike anything I have ever experienced. Let's just say they don't beat around the bush or sugarcoat the world we live in. They incorporate realistic scenarios and trach ways to defend yourself against the many threats that arise. They are honest and realistic about such threats especially here in Albuquerque, where it seems to get worse by the day. Most important with the instability in the United States, I have been wanting to learn more about self-defense, and gun ownership. We all know our Second Amendment right however, SHOCKWAVE helped me view firearms ownership as a tremendous responsibility that goes beyond a right. I learned that my safety and the safety of others may very well depend upon this responsibility. You don't need to know how to fight or much about guns they cover it all and I wish it was a week-long because the day flew by which usually happens when you're having fun. Most important this class helped guide me in safely implementing firearms into my life which requires skills and if ultimately used to protect a life or my own, sound judgment. Preparation and skill development are the key; They take it seriously. The follow-up was even great and taught me to believe in myself and my capability in using a firearm to protect myself and those I love most.

One day I was going to Costco nearby so I decided to go to this location. When I checked on Yelp, it didn't have any ratings. I drove there and the gym had large windows facing the street and the two sides of the parking lot. I couldn't see any people inside, or the lights on and the door had one of those realtor key lock box. My first impression was that it wasn't open yet or that they have closed. I drove around the property again and I finally saw a person inside, so I parked and went in. When I walked in there was a gentleman inside the office and I asked him for the WiFi password. He pointed to a sheet of paper and asked me to first read the gym's rules. I did and I told him that they were the same as my home base AF. I asked when did they open. He said that in February of this year. The place is small, but everything looks brand new, with the newest equipment of any AF that I have visited. I retired from the hospitality industry so I am very picky in sanitation and looks of places that I visit. The place is pristine! My only negative observation is that they have paper towels and a spray bottle without a label as a cleaner. I prefer gyms that have antibacterial gym wipes as some of the clubs have. Otherwise, the gym is excellent and I wish the owners great success.

From my very first class I got a workout and left with applicable skills, which is extremely hard to do! The first class I took was the Krav Maga. I was a little intimidated at first, being the only one in the class that didn't have some kind of belt, but the other students and Zane, the owner and instructor, made me feel really welcome. Just to be clear, what I am looking for is to be actually able to deploy moves, not just run through drills, and Zane gives you that right from the beginning. We worked on disarming a knife, two person attack, and kicking drills. The other class I have attended is the Women's Self Defense class. This is taught by Michelle, Zane's wife. I think every woman needs to take this class! We learned that pony tail grabs are a common attack point and how to disable someone that attacks in this manner. Repetition makes perfect but what I like is that after one class you have enough grip on the fundamentals that I feel like I could deploy some version of it. Great place!!

So I FB messaged her about registering and she walked me through the sign ups. She even messaged me to confirm the number of people I wanted to register and when I would get location information. When I didn't respond to their email, she messaged me to let me know. Sure enough, the email had gone to my "junk" folder. The class was two days: day one in a classroom and day two at the range. Nice class size, and very interactive. Love how we take a class to carry a weapon but learn all the things we need to look at to avoid getting into a confrontation where taking that last resort is necessary. We were also assisted with filling out our CCW paperwork which made that a breeze. Steve is an excellent instructor and very professional. Out on the range he was super patient and helpful to anyone who was a novice or needed extra help. Made sure everyone understood the rules again and that everyone was safety-conscious. He got us all qualified and we didn't even realize that's what we were doing!! We also were able to buy ammo to shoot other handguns that were available. I would highly recommend taking a class through Sierra3Alpha if you are considering any firearms training.

Since the Copper Trailhead doesn't have its own entry, this is a combo review. Copper is considered…read morerelatively easy. The caveat is that the final approach to the U-Mound gets more complex and I gave up. But there's a consolation prize: the term "U-Mound" is apparently also used to refer to the general rocks in the vicinity, which are approachable via the easy trails. Given the incomplete maps online and reviews of the difficult trails around Embudo, the TL;DR take is that you should look for the 401 trail if you're into scenery but not trying to re-enact some grim 2012-era Sundance movie. There are many elevation options. While I didn't see wildflowers in April, there was a great cacti assortment. Geography note: there are buses relatively close to Copper Trailhead but the ABQ Ride schedule is not generous. As of press time there were no post-sunset buses so I took Lyft.

Still enjoying the views is worth getting out here. There's a good amount of parking and additional parking further out.

With 3D Security & Training you get the best of the best! Their experience and knowledge supports teaching beginners. They are sincere and serious about you being able to protect your life! I felt comfortable the entire time working with them and now, I feel more confident in what to do if there is a situation that I may need to defend myself. What I liked about them is they gave us possible real life situations scenarios, they showed us what we could do and then let us practice it. Thank you for all of you support and I will be sending all of my friends to you! read more
