what women ARE SAYING
Join the Tribe! Period. I finally decided that it was time to take self-defense and empowerment more seriously than I have in the past...

For many years I depended on my husband (retired law enforcement) as my primary line of defense and protection. We are together a lot but not all the time. I need to be able to defend myself and feel confident when I move around without him.
I was first introduced to the Tribe on Instagram. I’m so glad their ad popped up on my feed. I started out with the Women’s beginner course. This was a good decision.
Shani did an excellent job helping us become more comfortable while introducing us to handgun basics as well as improving or enhancing our situational awareness skills. She even helps you figure out the best path forward to ensure you get what you need.
Next I moved to a one-on-one private session at the range with Tony. I am also glad I did. I have never fired a handgun before and admittedly, I was a little nervous.
Tony is an awesome instructor. He is personable and patient. He understands how to get you acclimated and build your confidence at the same time. He takes his time to walk you through every aspect of responsible use of the handgun while teaching you about the mechanics and proper technique.
As a former trainer we learned that “telling ain’t training.” Just because you tell someone something doesn’t mean you’re teaching them anything. Tony is a pure trainer. It is also evident that he is passionate about what he does.
My first session was so successful that I’m signing up for another to make sure to reinforce the good habits and practices I learned during the first session. Practice makes permanent.
I highly recommend Tribe Defense Academy. Tony and Shani are consummate professionals. It’s worth every dollar. What price can you really place on your safety and well-being? Sign up today.
