REVIEWS AND PAST WORK
“I recently took the Reactive Handgun foundations course and I loved it! Prior to this class I had very little knowledge about guns(basic handling, local laws) and also had a little bit of fear when it came to handling firearms. By the end of the class I became much more confident and look forward to more classes from this group. The instructors are very patient and work well with all the students and their individual skill levels. I was a little worried that I would fall behind because my fellow students had much more experience but the instructors kept me up to speed. I also have to say that on top of everything I learned I had a absolute blast!!! I love that they recorded our scenarios and I can’t wait to review them!!!”

“I took the concealed carry course, and it was amazing! It was very informative, and the instructors were happy to answer any and all questions. They also made a point to connect and engage with all of us in the class. Not only did we learn about safety and legality, but we also got to dry fire a few guns to get hands-on experience with proper handling, and we also did a bit of practice firing with practice guns. All in all, I feel like the instructors at Applied Defense Concepts did a really excellent job of training us!”

“Excellent program with a bright future. From martial arts enthusiasts, to people looking to pick up some valuable skills, to victims of violence. and even has relevance to military and law enforcement professional applications. This is a good place to start training if either you have martial arts training or not.”
— Tony F - USMC, Security
“I went to the shooting range with Kevin and he was super helpful and knowledgeable about firearms. He went over safety, grip, and stance. We went through a handful of different shooting exercises and he was a stickler for my posture and grip during through the session which was fantastic. I’ve only gone shooting a couple times before, but I noticed a significant improvement by the end of the session. I highly recommend them.”

“I had the pleasure of spending 8+ hours with these men in a search to better myself. Not only are they professional and knowledgeable but they are more than willing to go down whatever rabbit hole you want, subject dependent of course. There was no “That’s just how we teach it.” when questions were asked, almost always the response was “Well let’s gear up and test it out and you’ll find out why.” I learned alot better and soaked in more information learning via this method due to me being hardheaded.
This is not a class for someone who will not work for it. Their classes require solid participation and devotion in order to not only pass but to retain all of the knowledge passed your way in the short time you’re with them. 10/10 would recommend”

“My teacher was Kevin Tomas, and I have to say that he was amazing! I was nervous about signing up for lessons since I did not have any prior knowledge or experience. That didn’t matter, as he showed me every step clearly and explained the process at my pace. I learned so much and felt capable of using this knowledge in a real-life situation. Truly five stars out of five stars!”

“Due to a lot of traveling alone to unfamiliar places that do not allow hand guns or knives, I decided to look into another avenue for self protection. After some research I found this organization and signed up for the class. The class is the best ‘self-help’ I have purchased in years. The class was inexpensive. The trainers were professional and knowledgeable and they work with you ‘hands on’. I will be signing up for more of their classes and if you are smart you will to. This was so empowering!”

“Great group of instructors. ADC offers a solid training foundation to employ and adapt for real world situations. I definitely plan to attend future events.”
— Kevin D
“10/10 ! So glad i was finally able to take the concealed weapons course. It was such a comfortable, engaging, open-minded learning experience. Our instructor Kevin was great. So knowledgeable, patient & focused. I learned so much. I would recommend everyone one I know to take this course. Thank you again !!!”

“Extremely passionate and knowledgeable. Very humble and not trying to be a show-off “tacticool” group. I will be returning for further training and I especially recommended this company for women and people who may be at a fighting disadvantage.”
— Taylor H
“People generally think of ‘home and personal defense’ and think ‘doomsday preppers’. ADC is FAR from this. They apply all aspects of home and personal defense. Each course is a carefully crafted step by step process that if you follow it, you can not go wrong. These folks are TOP NOTCH and very highly recommended. Also, those companies that have security staff or, are companies providing security staffing for their clients, I highly recommend ADC to train your crew. They will be more valued because each person going through ADC’s courses will feel more valued, and your clients will get a higher rate of return, regardless if a ‘situation’ occurs or not.”

“Amazing experience, they take the time and have the patience to make sure you understand thoroughly. From self defense drills to learning how to be responsible with a weapon everything is broken down clearly.”
— Sean F - USMC
“Highly personable and knowledgeable staff members, with thorough and easily digestible classes. Will definitely be going back in the future!”
— Scott H
“I completed the reactive handgun course yesterday and it was better than I expected. These guys have developed a fun, informative training outfit that delivers top notch information and hands on repetitions. There is no other company in this area that offers the quality training that Applied Defense Concepts provides to you. Definitely a must and for the low prices alone! You will get more than what you pay for! I will be back with co-workers to learn and excel in more tactical training from this company.”
— Jesse M - SWAT
“Not very good at writing reviews but here it goes. The training, is spot on. Real easy to digest. Instructor took his time to make sure that I got the motions and movements down before we continued to the next lesson. Very affordable. I have actually recommended 3 people at work looking for training. Definitely more classes are to be had with ADC.”
— Will S - US Navy
“Great concealed carry course! The instructors made sure to engage every student throughout the course to make sure they were paying attention, and the course itself was in-depth and informative. We got to dry fire to practice proper handling and later target-practiced with practice guns. The instructors were communicable and kept the class interesting.”
— Erika M
“All the martial Arts lessons and self defense lessons included a decent workout as well as great information that could save your life. Had a blast thanks so much to the good folks and ADC!”

“Has worked with me getting on picture and getting my grouping together also working on getting familiar with ar weapons system in the future.”
— Edgar C
“Their women’s conceal carry course was super informative while being digestible for new minds to the gun community. Great work guys, I will definitely seek more training with you all. Very professional.”
— Vera G
“If you are looking for good qualified trainers and training, this is where you want to start. When they say training without consequences is useless, they mean it. You will learn, have fun, but most of all you will walk away from their classes with a better understanding of yourself in taking responsibility of your own safety at home or in the public.”
— Paul S
“This is just an amazing thing these guys are doing!! Their wealth of knowledge is incredible. They are so good at what they do. They are great instructors, very patient, very chill, very attentive. I started knowing nothing. Now when my friends go shooting w/ me I am teaching them things! You guys are the best!! Thank-you for all the above-and-beyond-help!!”
— Linda P
“I competed the Level One Reactive Handgun class today, and absolutely loved it. Basic theory and law, safety, and some range time were a great start, then practicing movement, using cover, and working on draws from a conceal holster to build on that. Then they really stepped it up with realistic scenarios and afteraction feedback on appropriate actions, uses of force, and suggestions for improvement. Having to respond quickly under stress is the best test you can have of what skills you think you know. I would highly recommend this to anyone who owns or is contemplating owning a firearm, or who even just wants to be more aware of what’s involved. I’m definitely contemplating the Level Two when I have the time. I’m looking forward to my videos being up soon, too!”
— Paula S
“I just recently took an online class for the conceal handgun permit and I highly recommend them! They’re extremely informative and are sure that you understand concepts and allow plenty of time to ask questions.”
— Jessica S
“The training offered by Applied Defense Concepts is incredibly helpful, useful, and effective. I highly recommend working with them for any and all of your self defense training needs, as well as utilize them for their conceal carry permit class. They have excellent course content and thorough explanations that will make you confident in your knowledge and skill.”
— Meghan R
“My husband and I learned a lot from their conceal carry course and I look forward to being able to do additional training with ADC in the future.”
— Ashley M
“I saw an ad on Facebook the other day for a kickboxing class. It looked fun! They had peppy music, and toned women were each punching their own bag: left, right, kick! Left, right, kick!
And a few months ago, I might have considered it. But now, I just laughed and scrolled past it because I know ADC’s is better, and why.
I wanted to post a review here to explain the experience they provide. I never get bored, I’m always excited what they teach us next, and I love the practice with live opponents.
I felt adrift with things happening in my life. Taking your combatives classes makes me feel powerful and safe again.
You are differentiating your instruction for women of different sizes, shapes, abilities, and current fitness level.
You are doing a great job! I know things are getting hectic with all the work the company is doing, but I wanted to remind you guys that you are helping people.”
