I attended the most recent weekend of training for Advanced Pistol I & II, and I was overwhelmed with how great the experience was! These are eight reasons why you should train with Kranz FTG:
1. Value - Their courses are the best value. I have attended three firearms training courses in three states, but I never progressed with any of them as fast as I did during these two classes. I also realized one was milking students for more cash because in one eight-hour course (part of a long series), we did what was accomplished in the first 60-90 minutes of Advanced Pistol I and probably even the beginning of Handgun 101, which I regret not attending, since we started Advanced Pistol I with some review. Kranz FTG, on the other hand, progressed at the perfect pace, and I felt like I received the most bang for my buck.
2. No Cult-Like Personalities - I have attended firearms and even martial arts courses that were all about the personality of the instructor. Who they trained with or what special forces they were a part of was just repeated throughout, like a marketing gimmick, to make you feel honored to even be in their presence. There was none of that with Kranz FTG. Jeff and Shawn gave a quick introduction at the beginning and then that was that. They are humble and down to earth instructors.
3. Instruction - Jeff and Shawn are great teachers! You can be the best shot in town, but if you don't share a technique or can help your students fix their errors and improve their shots, whether placement, speed, or anything else, then you shouldn't be teaching a class. Kranz FTG offers you a really high quality environment to grow as a shooter from instructors that really care about their students.
4. Pushing You to Your Personal Best - Some students go faster or slower than the average shooter, and that's okay. We received very personalized feedback about how we can be better. If they saw any one of us could push ourselves a little, that's what they did. Again, the pace was customized to our specific needs.
5. Culture of Learning - They created the perfect culture of constant improvement. I love how they shared some things they've personally picked up just in the last few years and others they learned long ago but took time. They didn't make us feel stupid but rather encouraged us and said they are continually improving as competitive shooters.
6. Invaluable Tips and Tricks - I had to pull out my phone and take notes every time Jeff and Shawn stopped us to pass on some of their knowledge. It is stuff I have never picked up before, and if they had a YT channel on firearm instruction I can definitely see how it would garner millions of video views. Those little things made a big difference in my performance.
7. Fun - It wasn't full of boring, impractical drills. You built up throughout the day's instruction with a reward at the end in the form of a fun exercise that made you feel confident.
8. Practical - KranzFTG, like Bruce Lee's philosophy of Jeet Kune Do, preaches that you should be exposed to different ways but ultimate keep what works for you and throw away the rest. This is in contrast to traditional Kung Fu, which has been all about molding your body and technique to a specific form, and you'll see some firearms instructors drill the way they learned into their students, even if it's not useful in the real world.
My biggest benefit is that I can now follow up my shots more quickly and move and hit targets. Those were things I was really struggling with before and wasn't successful learning with other instructors. Being a confident shooter is a game-changer with regards to defending yourself and your loved ones.
I cannot recommend KranzFTG highly enough, and I'm completely sold on this being the best training experience I can come across here in North Dallas and probably much of the US. I look forward to enrolling in more of their other courses and will continue telling my friends to sign up. read more
