Description

Specialties

Brian Wang provides discreet individual and small group training for both men and women on self-​defense, pepper spray, gun safety, and the judicious use of lethal force.

History

Established in 2013.

Once a teacher, always a student. It takes grit to win the fight to live, and it takes grit to run a business that can deliver high quality customized instruction despite daily failure, obstacles, and setbacks.

Brian began his teaching career working for the Princeton Review in 2006. There he learned to lead small group, fast paced instruction in high school academics using the Socratic method. He graduated from GPS Defense sniper school in 2011, and trained extensively under Massad Ayoob in order to teach the StressFire framework for defensive handgun, as well as the nuances of pre– and post shooting considerations.

Combining his intense personal study of firearms and years of martial arts experience, with his passion for and skill in teaching, Brian dedicates himself to delivering the highest level of defense training available to the civilian market.

I took a pepper spray course from Brian. He was well prepared, provided very informative and interesting content, and is a great presenter. He provided some hands on training where we practiced defending with fake pepper spray (just water), then we went outside and discharged some actual pepper spray to get a sense of how it really works. This was a very good course.

Me and a group of friends took the pepper spray (mace) self defense class. Brian walked us through the basics of fight or flight, and the use of what most people carry around with them with the intent to fend off the bad guys.
After the class we all felt that we had a better understanding of how pepper-​spray actually works, and had an opportunity to experience what it really does.
Brian was able to work with my injured friend so that he could experience the class despite crutches, and was able to adjust to each student as needed. Excellent class for those who already carry pepper-​spray, or for those (like me) who thought they didn’t need or know how to use it.

Brian is a firearms expert and a very capable teacher. So far I’ve had him do a three hour one-​on-​one self defense pistol instruction with me and a three hour home defense group class for my family. Both were excellent experiences. I didn’t know anyone who had used him but took a chance on his introductory special and did not regret it. I’ll be using him again. Thanks for your expert help in an important learning process, Brian.

Instructors are all very well experienced. I took the «Reality & Responsibility for the Armed Citizen» class and learned a lot. These guys and gals really know their stuff and I recommend them for all of your self-​defense and shooting needs. Can’t wait to save up some cash to take another class whether it be in a group or one on one training!
