It was fine, not worth the money

Sheena helped me prepare for a work-related qualification. She was patient and so observant! Every tiny detail made a huge difference.

Sheena led a solid virtual class that was open to questions and different perspectives, making sure everyone had a good understanding of the material. The information was thorough, and the group was engaged and respectful throughout. The legal considerations shared by US LawShield added helpful context to the session. I also appreciated that Trouble Defense was able to work with my schedule on short notice (just about an hour before the class) which was important since the next available class wasn’t for another month. My range session with Lacy was just as helpful. He gave clear guidance on improving my stance and breathing while addressing some concerns I had around how my astigmatism affects accuracy at different distances. Great experience!

I wanted to take a moment to share our experience with Trouble Defense. My family and I recently completed a training session, and it was truly an exceptional experience from start to finish. Our instructor, Hayley, was absolutely fantastic. She demonstrated an incredible amount of patience, professionalism, and expertise throughout the session. Hayley took the time to ensure that everyone, regardless of skill level, felt comfortable and confident with the material. Her clear instructions, calm demeanor, and ability to tailor the training to our specific needs made the entire experience enjoyable and incredibly valuable. We left feeling empowered and much more knowledgeable about self-defense techniques. Hayley’s dedication to ensuring we understood each concept and her encouragement throughout the session were much appreciated. I highly recommend Trouble Defense for anyone looking to receive quality, professional self-defense training. The experience was more than just educational, it was empowering. A huge thank you to Hayley for being such an amazing instructor!

Very informative discussion about guns. Instructor is an expert and very welcoming regarding questions. She helps beginners overcome anxiety and fears about using guns. Would recommend.

My experience started with the class. It ran a little long, but worth it considering all we were given. Next was on to the range. Our instructor was patient, and made us fell comfortable firing various pistols. We had fun and learned more than we expected.

“Class can run long, but it was worth every sec of extension of time, Mr. Parker and Mr. Jordan went above and beyond in teaching us the fundamentals of handguns, various laws surrounding handgun usage and spent a great deal of their own time to instruct us on firing of handguns.”
