Seminars at Defensive Mindset Training

These periodic multi-hour training opportunities are hosted at our exclusive New Hope, MN location. They focus on what your church security team needs: skills like concealed carry, draws, movement, dynamic weapon positions, and deterrence, just to name a few.

Because of DMT’s 270 Smash Range technology, powered by Range Systems, we can help your team with live fire training in the safest and most advanced range in Minnesota. As your church security team progresses in skill with Defensive Mindset Training, you will be authorized to practice more complicated and advanced tactical skills, like retention, primary and support hand only, and tactical team movement. There is no other place in Minnesota that will allow your church security team to practice these skills in this manner.

 

Seminars at your church

Defensive Mindset Training has advanced dry-fire training tools to allow your church security team to practice skills learned at your church site.

Your church security team can practice moving, drawing, and coordinating together at your church site in a safe and effective manner. On-site seminars will allow your church security team to experience micro scenarios where they have the possibility of occurring, giving your church security team more confidence in defending the building and congregation.

 

In-Person Situational Awareness Training

Beyond a focus on firearms as a defensive tool, Defensive Mindset Training offers a complete system of situational awareness for your church security team. With the goal of identifying threats quickly and taking simple, positive action early, your church security team can be ready for all manner of threats.

Defensive Mindset Training has been teaching this system of situational awareness to church security teams, law enforcement, and citizen defenders for years with great success, and we can bring it to your church and security team too.

Amazing training program! Beau and Kevin do a great job of meeting you where your skills are at and helping build them up. I’ve progressed a lot since starting classes in 2020. I came in with very limited abilities and now have a level of proficiency my buddies have noticed at the range. I cannot recommend them enough and do not say that lightly. Taking the Introductory class was one of my better choices! Thanks, DMT!!
