“My wife and I took the Gracie One Tactical course and highly recommend. We appreciate the focus on safety, getting comfortable handling the weapon, shooting fundamentals, and challenging live drills. We always had an instructor monitoring us and providing constructive fundamental feedback. By the end of the live fire drills we both felt comfortable manipulating the weapon and saw our accuracy improve to boot. Oh, and it was a lot of fun!”
