Took the 18hr. course with Pugh Self- Protection & Combative. Highly Recommend for taking the course with this company. Very Knowledgeable even if you know all about pistols and what not. Course goes over the laws of NYS, how to handle and operate a pistol, recommends bullets and what gun to get, and so much more. Live fire training very easy and the instructor takes his time especially if your a newby.

Did the concealed carry permit class with Pugh. 10x better than I thought It would be. The instructor was informative, real, funny, and a wealth of knowledge for real world use.

I just finished the NY state pistol permit course with Zach from Pugh Self protection. That dude is awesome. Very down to earth and knowledgeable. I learned way more than expected. I am really surprised on everything his company offers, from pews-pews and gear to private combat simulation exercises. I very much look forward to doing more business with him and his company.

This has got to be THE BEST ACTIVE SHOOTER TRAINING out there. We all know how sensitive and uncomfortable this subject is. However, the way the instructor was able to ease the anxiety in the room by simplifying the content and making sure everyone was able to participate in an open and honest conversation, made the world of difference. The instructor also put some gear on and had us all practice different scenarios on what to do if a shooter were to be present. We even got to throw things at him and tackle him too! We were all pretty nervous when the training started but towards the end we were all laughing and having a great time while still gaining some much needed knowledge on the topic. I, along with many other parents, highly recommend this training to be presented in EVERY SCHOOL IN THE COUNTRY. There is a much lighter version of this for children but it would be JUST AS EFFECTIVE. With the way the world is now, we have to stop pretending like these things will never happen to us or our children. We have to stop passing on that false sense of security that hiding and hoping is all we can do when there is so much more we are capable of. We should be empowering our kids with confidence in the safest way possible. Not make them feel helpless and dependent on strangers with their precious lives. All we need is the proper training on a consistent basis and I believe Pugh Self-Protection & Combatives can offer that. Because of this training, I am more confident in my ability to protect the ones I love and it is CRITICAL for all children to feel the same. Thank you so much and I hope to see you again!

We went over a lot of very practical self defense techniques. Zach was a great instructor. He was very focused and made sure we understood what he was teaching but also left us enough room to enjoy ourselves and have some fun. I highly recommend him and I am planning on taking more courses with him in the future!

Zach recently came to my workplace for an optional active shooter response training. I was really looking forward to this because I don’t think there is enough (helpful) training and awareness out there. Zach exceeded my expectations and each colleague I talked with said the same thing! His training was different than anything I’ve done before, and I left feeling a lot more confident and prepared for a scary situation. I’d recommend this training to anyone. Thank you Zach!

Pugh self protection & combatives is a great place to buy weapons and ammunition. The people are super friendly and very helpful, extremely knowledgeable and their website is phenomenal. It’s pretty much my one stop shop for the last couple of years. ??????

I took a self defense class with my sister, cousins, and aunt. Our group was large enough that we got a discounted group rate (yea!), but even at full price, the self defense class would have been worth every penny!Everyone should have the basic skills to defend themselves, and Zach teaches it all in a very practical and down to earth way. My arms are killing me, but I'm so glad we took this class! ?

By far my favorite place to go to get what I need for my guns. Why support the big corporations? Support your Local businesses. If you need it....call them and if they don't have it, they will get it or help you find it. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Dave O
