Word of the Month is Mindset:
Mindset is a fixed mental attitude or disposition that PREdetermines your response. It can be a mental state involving beliefs, feeling or values to make you act a certain way. 

LIVE FIRE Classes at our range in Dahlonega

Pistol Essentials is designed to help improve your skills as a defensive shooter. In this class you will learn to draw from common positions seen in defensive shooting with a higher level of accuracy. Pistol Essentials will teach you how to practice, how to measure your skill and how to TEST yourself.

The Complete Combatant 1 or 1.5 day course at Fusion MMA

The Complete Combatant: 1 or 1.5 day course for the armed citizen (men & women) on how to survive
a violent encounter from the first sign of danger, using verbal commands and preparing for CONTACT, lethal verses non-lethal decisions, to even dealing with the legal system in the aftermath, you need to learn all aspects of personal protection. The Complete Combatant course is a layered approach for ALL levels of experience
that will walk you through all the many stages of "decisions" while developing a game plan tailored to your skills and your everyday carry. 

The Complete Combatant will train you in multiple areas of self defense:
  • Verbal challenges
  • Frames/Blocks
  • Non lethal force options
  • Lethal force
  • Entangled fighting
  • Medical care (tourniquets)
  • 911 call
  • Interaction with the police
  • Andrew Branca's The Law of Self Defense
  • SCENARIO drill: In our scenario you may have to choose one or more.....verbal commands, OC Spray, RUN and/or deadly force. After your scenario you will have time to think about your actions. We will then pair you with a partner which will be your "attorney". Your partner will ask you to articulate your actions and see if you meet the 5 Laws of Self Defense.
Proactive Mindset at Fusion MMA

Guys, in this day and time, we need to start THINKING AHEAD and DESELECTING ourselves from the "bad guys". This class is NOT about fear. It is about being aware of your environment and making good choices NOW...before you are forced to make bad choices later.

In the PROACTIVE MINDSET class (NOT PHYSICAL) we will be covering the nature of predators and violence, and how to deal with your response to violent encounters. This  well rounded class will focus on CURRENT EVENTS and PROACTIVE MINDSET for both men and women. We will discuss CRITICAL THINKING  and DESELECTION, making DEFENSIVE decisions in advance and listening to your instincts. We will discuss THINKING AHEAD, understanding the "law of self defense" and honing in on pre-assault cues.

Each class will have "MINDSET" and "hands on" drills that will make you think like a predator, a victim and even the law!
 
Close Quarter Decisions at Fusion MMA 
 
You have made the decision  it is GO TIME....now WHAT? Close Quarter Decisions is a 3 hour course focusing on:
