Train under world-class instructors in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and defensive tactics. Build skills in control, safety, and effectiveness that prepare you for real-world encounters.
10 AM - 11:30 AM | Living with Resilience
Living with Resilience is a practical and faith-grounded conversation about how to remain steady under pressure. In a world that constantly pulls at our peace and tests our strength, resilience isn’t about pretending things aren’t hard — it’s about being rooted deeply enough that we don’t break when they are. This talk will explore how faith, discipline, and identity shape men and women who can endure challenges, lead well in difficult seasons, and stay grounded when life feels uncertain. Join us for a lunch conversation focused on building strength that lasts — not just in moments of crisis, but in everyday life.
1:00 PM – 7:00 PM | Firearms & Closing Dinner
Spend the afternoon on the range with professional instruction from law enforcement trainers. Build real-world pistol skills safely and effectively—no experience required. The day concludes over dinner and a closing session, bringing together deeper teaching and a challenge to carry what you’ve learned into your home, church, and community.
