"I have been a Self-Defense student with Alpha Omega Combatives for approximately 4 years. My introduction to Alpha Omega Combatives (AOC) and the expert and proficient team of instructors, Jim, Chap, Tom and Marcus, was at a Concealed Carry Weapons (CCW) class that I had signed up for. The CCW class was taught by AOC Team Leader Jim Olson. The class was very detailed and clear with emphasis on the legal responsibilities of every CCW permit holder. I wholeheartedly recommend the Concealed Carry Weapons Permit class offered by Alpha Omega Combatives. I truly believe that it is the best of it's kind offered to the public. If you seriously intend to legally carry a concealed weapon, then this is a must attend class for you.
Shortly after completion of the CCW class with AOC, I took an introductory Pistol class with Jim and Tom of AOC. That would lead to many many more firearms classes including home defense pistol, shotgun and rifle. All classes are always held in a safe and controlled environment. Instructors emphasize safe handling of weapons at all times, functional knowledge of the weapons being used, combat focus shooting, target acquisition and target accuracy and weapons proficiency under stressful conditions, to name a few.
While I was attending the CCW class, I noticed that the instructors were wearing shirts that had their AOC company logo which included the term Krav Maga. Having already studied Martial Arts, Shotokan Karate, for more than two decades and having seen a documentary on Krav Maga, I was indeed familiar with this Israeli Self Defense system. Upon further inquiry I was both surprised and happy that AOC taught Krav Maga right here in my hometown.
I also began Krav Maga Classes as well, shortly after my CCW class. All of the Alpha Omega Combatives instructors have multi-disciplined backgrounds with respect to martial arts, self-defense and combat tactics. The beauty of Krav Maga is it's simplicity, intuitive nature, situational adaptability and suitability to everyone regardless of age, gender, prior self-defense experience, fitness level or physical limitations.
If you have concerns about your personal safety and that of those you love and care for then consider it your duty and responsibility to call Jim Olson at Alpha Omega Combatives and find out if weapons training and Krav Maga are a good fit for your self-defense needs.
