Building YOU to become the weapon
Going to the shooting range alone won't prepare you for real self-defense situations. The reality is dynamic and intense, requiring you to be fully present, in command, and capable. There's no room for hesitation or mistakes. In the Warrior Workshop, you'll uncover your "why" and gain the hard skills needed to become an effective self-defense shooter.

Testimonials
Hear what past participants have to say about their experience
I highly recommend Sovereign Self Defense Warrior workshop. If you are looking to be able to recognize and deal with threats for you and your family this is the place. If you want to learn how to properly use a firearm and get your concealed weapons permit this is the best program in south Florida. You will leave feeling totally prepared and can set up follow up one on one with the instructors to keep your skills on point. I also brought my wife who thoroughly enjoyed this course, which also helped quell fears surrounding a firearm while empowering us to protect ourselves and our family.
John D. Orlando, FL
These courses have been the best investment!!!! Instead of fearing a weapon I'm learning how to master and boldly and effectively operate it. On top of that I am also learning hand to hand self defense. I'm becoming more aware of what's going on around me and I've gained a lot of confidence. In this course you get A LOT of practice!! Alex, the lead Instructor is professional, patient and straight to the point. What's also great is after the course you can continue to practice what you have learned on "Warrior Wednesdays" which takes place twice a month. I highly recommend these workshops if you truly want to learn the right way to handle a gun and handle any situation where you may need to use it.
Sharon L. Fort Lauderdale, FL
My wife and I took level 1 to help us feel more empowered with our weapons and self-defense. We came out with that and so much more. My wife is much more confident handling her weapon and I learned that there was so much I didn't know. We are stronger mentally and more aware and competent. We have since completed level 2 and are excited to do leveRead more about My wife and I took level 1 to help us l 3 in October.
