Open Enrollment Combat Courses

Many companies treat the training of civilians as an after thought. Something to do in between government contracts. Citadel Training Group believes responsible armed citizens deserve and need access to relevant combat-effective training that increases the chances of surviving an armed encounter.

We spend countless hours distilling what we learn from Military and LE courses into simple, effective techniques for the responsibly armed citizen; home defense, assaults in and around vehicles, defense of loved ones.

Scenario "Live Fire"  Training for Concealed Carry

Most hand gun training takes place on a flat range. But armed confrontations take place in non ideal environments, under stress when you least expect them. A real life confrontation is not the time to discover that shooting paper did not prepare you to deal with two attackers running towards you at full speed from 10 feet away. Scenario based training is the ideal way to asses how your defensive strategy works in real world environments.

Scenario based training greatly increases the odds of surviving an armed confrontation.

In the real world, targets move, hide, hit, and shoot back. Using role-players, blanks, and marking sim rounds, Citadel provides civilians with the opportunity to experience scenario based force-on-force training usually reserved for Military and Law Enforcement. We find it especially effective for those new to concealed carry. Understand what armed conflicts are like before bad training leads to bad habits.

  • The human body's reaction to confrontation

  • When to draw...and when not to

  • Understanding target and background

  • Target selection: Tactical sequence and tactical priority
