Did my initial CCW Class with Dennis, and would absolutely recommend Black Oak for any firearms…read moretraining. I'm comfortable with firearms but would still consider myself at an intermediate level at best. Dennis explained things in a straight forward manner and made me feel comfortable asking a ton of questions. He gave me a lot of pointers on handgun technique and a number of drills to practice in the future. The class itself was incredibly well done, and we talked through a lot of real world scenarios which could impact a CCW holder or firearm owner. After the class we went through a couple of video/laser training drills on real world scenarios, which provided a great example of how fast your decision making has to be. I will definitely be taking future courses through Black Oak and would highly recommend them to anyone. Also, they took COVID precautions seriously, and I very much appreciated their commitment to protecting their customers and themselves.

The vibe is that LMS Defense offers world class premier firearms training courses in CA, NV, and…read moreWA! Josh is super warm, funny, and accomplished. His background includes law enforcement, SWAT, Breacher, Avon Mil Equip, Team Wendy. The courses are comprehensive. From pistol to precision. From day to night ops. And includes land nav and comms. We attended his 1 day pistol fundamentals course and it is by far the single best investment of 8 hours spent outdoors under perfect California weather! No prerequisites...but the course delivered like no other intro course I've attended. From beginning w/ the 4 rules to shooting on the move! Whoa! In ONE day? Yes!! We started w/ drills from 5 yards, 10 yards. Developed efficient drawstrokes. Then transitions from targets left to right. Great instruction on the fundamentals of grip, stance, sight alignment, sight picture, trigger, breathing, follow through! Complete w/ frequent interjections of funny and insightful anecdotes! Baseline competence was built from the ground up. Then we hit hyperspace! We did precision pistol drills on steel moving further and further away until we were probably 40+ yds away! Students were pushing their platforms and abilities. All discovered that they exceeded their own personal expectations. Each person faced their own adversity and given the opportunity to prove themselves to themselves! And it was enthralling...dare I say breathtaking to see an IG supermodel...I mean an accomplished, proper, and gorgeous young lady ringing steel at long range. To be mesmerized by the skillset of an alpha female! Bond. Jane Bond. Woohoo! Sight picture. Perfect trigger. PING! (For many, that was like taking in a great work of cinematic art complete with an epic soundtrack!) WOWZA! She made it look elegant & effortless! OMG! And we were all in the moment. That state of mindfulness of being in the present. In pursuing something difficult, we can find meaning. Meaning is about the individual overcoming adversity real or imagined. And when we succeed at what we thought we could not do, there is a profound sense self-affirmation! That meditative state that accompanies the respiratory pause of applied marksmanship is immediately (and safely) followed by raucous cheers, high fives, and HOORAHS! Progressing to shooting on the move both aft and fro then engaging multiple targets with lateral movement was amazing to see and experience first hand! And I could almost hear Charlie Puth singin': I'm only one call away I'll be there to save the day Superman's got nothin' on me Hahaha! It was wonderful to see everyone develop safe competence with their chosen platforms. Best part was the 10 shot drill at the end to come full circle and establish a means to collect metrics that measure marskanship competence! Arrigato gazaimasu, Sensei Josh! (Keanu voiceover) "Yeah. You could say I'm back. I know Gun Fu. Whoa." https://m.youtube.com/shorts/XvDNE8bvZOw Would do this course again! And again! Woohoo!
