Gedde Wilson is a Complete Combatant ENDORSED instructor and an official ADJUNCT instructor. That means that Gedde has our permission to run TCC's Core 4 (and all other drill's made by Brian Hill), give out Blue, Purple, Brown and Black patches that are earned in his classes from accomplishing the standards/percentages needed in the Core 4 scores to advance. He can use our curriculum as he sees fit, refer clients to us (and vice versa), and overall represent The Complete Combatant while on, and off the range. We are proud to partner with Gedde Wilson!
Gedde is a lifelong student with a hunger to grow and learn. As of April 2023, he is only 1 of 8 people to ever earn a TCC's Black Ant Rank Patch!
He was born and raised in the Atlanta area he comes from a mixed shooting background in both the performance and defensive worlds. In 2011 he decided to bring the work ethic and fascination with performance along to pursue firearms instruction with the same passion that he still holds for MMA and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
Gedde believes that everyone has the potential to perform at high levels and with a priority in safety, efficiency, discipline, and keeping an open mind in practice. The student is his number one priority, and he takes pride in addressing the individual needs and working with them to find the solutions they need to reach their goals in a practical and effective way.
As of 2022 Gedde currently holds over 1000 hours of professional time teaching students and currently is the performance pistol instructor at GA Firing Line.
Starting 2021, Gedde launched the “Applied Pistol” class hosted by GA Firing Line with the mission statement of making students achieve higher levels of shooting with less effort.
Gedde found TCC in 2015 where he began as a student both in shooting and MMA under Brian eventually earning a place on the team as an assistant instructor. He is a trusted and valued member of the TCC team and after a short hiatus has returned with a new passion for helping students achieve their goals.
