I must share my overwhelmingly positive experience with Safe and Defensive Training LLC., where I recently completed a self-defense training course. I had high hopes for this program, but it exceeded them all. It teaches responsible firearm ownership and usage.The instructor (Marlon Tapper) showed an unmatched degree of professionalism and knowledge right away. His extensive understanding of self-defense techniques and sincere dedication to responsibility and safety set the standard for an inspiring learning environment. His ability to accommodate students with different skill levels, making the course accessible and helpful for everyone, regardless of prior experience, really impressed me.A wide range of subjects, such as marksmanship, legal considerations, and firearm safety, were covered in the curriculum. The instructor’s comprehensive approach distinguishes Safe and Defensive Training LLC. by emphasizing situational awareness, de-escalation techniques, and responsible decision-making in addition to effectively imparting technical skills.The steadfast dedication to moral self-defense that Safe and Defensive Training LLC. exhibits is what really sets it apart. Throughout the entire course, there was a clear emphasis on ethical and legal standards as well as responsible gun ownership. The instructor went above and beyond to make sure that every participant understood the seriousness of carrying a firearm and to instill a sense of responsibility and mindfulness.I highly recommend Safe and Defensive Training LLC. to anyone looking for excellent self-defense instruction, particularly regarding handling firearms responsibly. Regardless of your level of experience with guns, Safe and Defensive Training LLC. offers a thorough and empowering program that gives people the knowledge and frame of mind they need to responsibly negotiate the challenges of self-defense.I am grateful to Marlon for providing me with the knowledge and self-assurance to properly prioritize my safety.Sincerely,Nahla

I had a great experience. Marlon is really kind, patient and helpful. He made me feel comfortable to ask questions, and repeated the information again if I didn’t understand. I am a hands on learner and I really liked how Marlon had all the tools handy to explain the lecture with. He goes in depth and makes sure you leave the classroom with all of the information you need. I totally recommend booking your training with Marlon. I don’t regret it!!

The class was informative. I think more education on how to handle yourself if you get pulled over, aggressively approached and the balance of the fight should be taught. The educator was professional and patient. I recommend you buy the book !!Thank you!!!!

This pistol permit class is 5 stars and I’m the type of person that do not leave reviews good or bad. Mr Marlon Tapper is a excellent instructor. He makes you feel comfortable with handling a pistol and also knowing everything about a pistol. He also make you understand what you can do and not do as a pistol permit holder. The class was fun and Mr Marlon Tapper knows his stuff and you will to if you take his class. This class is worth the money no matter how much it cost because Mr Marlon Tapper is the instructor.

I had found Safe and Defensive Training through the USCCA site. Was looking for a specific class which was Home Defense for myself and my wife. The class was informative and in depth. Marlon was very professional and patient and he took the time needed to cover the material. He made sure you understood what he was teaching and answered any and all questions we had in the class. At the range he also took the time to explain and correct any mistakes we may have been making and to make sure we were doing what was correct.. We would highly recommend Marlon for any needs someone may be looking for to learn something new or to just hone skills you may already have.

I found Marlon after a quick Google search of local pistol permit certification. His website provided all the info needed and there was constant follow up between emails, texts and return phone calls. The class was close to home, convenient for my schedule and comfortable to learn in. There was a lot of info to pack into a one day class but Marlon does his best not only to make sure the curriculum is followed but that any and every question you have is answered. I will recommend him to my friends and colleagues for personal safety and defense training.
