Most of the trainers we host will be traveling from another part of the country. They require a specific head count and if you cancel UNDER 21 days this can cause an unwanted hiccup. Your trainer will have travel expenses and more so unfortunately we will not be able to issue any refunds UNDER 21 days prior to class.
EXCEPTION TO THE RULE ABOVE: If we have a SOLD OUT class, I will stop marketing and close down registration for that specific class since it is full. If you cancel anytime AFTER I have done this (no matter the "timeline") then you will NOT receive a refund because I have closed down all avenues of marketing.

HOSTING Chuck Haggard of Agile Training & Consulting $300 per person OC/Pepper Spray Certified Instructors Course Saturday, June 8th, 2019 at Fusion MMA 8am-7pm (arrive 7:45pm) OC/Pepper Spray Certified Instructor Course Sunday, June 9th, 2019 at Fusion MMA 8pm-7pm (arrive 7:45am) The Complete Combatant has invited Chuck to teach an instructor level OC (Pepper spray) course for the NON law enforcement user. This will certify members of our community to TEACH this course to others. While the training world has no shortage of marksmanship enthusiasts, very few can genuinely claim any expertise in less-lethal systems. But since not every situation calls for a firearm, Chuck is a firm believer in keeping other options available and knowing how to deploy them effectively. We are inviting (local and non-locals):
"This class is a distillation of my 30 years of experience using OC (aka pepper) spray as a defensive tool. This is an instructor level class for the non law enforcement user. While the information would be useful in an LE role, the focus of the training is the use of OC spray in the personal defense paradigm. I have multiple certificates. Most prominently through National Law Enforcement Training Center. This OC Certified Instructor Certificate will be through me and Agile". Chuck

Sunday, April 26th 2020 Defensive Shotgun at our private range in Dahlonega, GA.
Many people keep a shotgun at home. The shotgun is one of the most effective and versatile weapons available to the average private citizen or police officer. It is also the least understood and most under-utilized weapon system. Learn how to properly select, modify, feed and operate your defensive shotgun for optimum effectiveness. This intensive course will teach you efficient techniques for handling and shooting the shotgun under stressful conditions for self-defense. The course is typically taught in a one-day (8-hour) format and includes topics such as:
Students will need 150 rounds of birdshot, 50 rounds of buck shot, and 15 slugs. If held on an outdoor range, the course will continue regardless of weather (rain or shine, heat or cold). Please dress accordingly and bring appropriate gear and supplies. Tuition varies depending on training site. Please see their Eventbrite page for details. 
Please make a note that at the end of each day (for both classes listed) our students will participate in "range clean up". This will include picking up casings, trash, targets, etc. OPTIONAL: add knee pads to your gear list.
