This Self-Defense Class for Women exceeded my expectations. Boggs Middleton is an excellent instructor and a man of good character. He is comprehensive, knowledgeable and attentive to safety while addressing individual proficiency levels. Initially, I was apprehensive about handling firearms but after several classes with Boggs, I feel equipped and confident. I am comfortable with firearms, reacting to threats and making proper decisions for my family in a self-defense situation. Officer Tyres Nesmith was an asset. She was informative, encouraging and resourceful. She emphasized firearms safety, situational awareness, laws, rights and tactical skills. Her presence was inspiring and expertise was beneficial. I appreciate her dedication to protect and serve. I highly recommend this class and I am looking forward to our next "enjoyable experience!" Thank you again, Mr. Boggs and Officer Tyres for your time and commitment to educate and empower women.
