The Warrior Workshop Level 1 is unlike typical tactical training, designed for everyday family leaders—moms, dads, husbands, and wives. It builds firearm confidence, rapid capability, and professional-level situational awareness by the end of Level 1.
The Warrior Workshop Level 1 is a one-day training to transform you into becoming more self-confident and capable of defending your life. Everyone receives individualized attention and works one on one with our Instructors when on the range shooting.
Discover the training program designed for everyday people like you. Learn high-level techniques to effectively identify and respond to threats. Build command over yourself and your firearm. If the worst case scenario should happen, you will be the most competent and capable in any room. Get personalized instruction from experienced United States Marines.
The Warrior Workshop LEVEL 1 empowers everyday people—moms, dads, husbands, and wives—with high-level techniques used by the CIA, FBI, and other agencies to identify and respond to threats. Whether running errands, pumping gas, or at home, you'll be trained in life-saving de-escalation techniques.
Gain confidence not only in firearms skills but also in the mindset and core values essential for real-life self-defense. This training goes beyond shooting mechanics; it instills a powerful sense of "I AM the weapon." You'll gain the self-assurance to defend yourself, with or without a firearm, embodying a true warrior mindset.
Become a highly capable home defense/barricaded shooter by the end of Level 1. Master proper grip and stance (specific to self defense). Learn to shoot accurately and combat effectively. Gain professional-level training of firearm mechanics, knowing your gun like the back of your hand.
"The warrior workshop is a life altering experience. Although you are learning a skill about weapons you will gain so much more. This workshop is literally a life tool. Alex and his team do such an excellent job making sure each student gets the attention and skills needed. The warrior workshop is a perceptive shift on your entire life. This was one of the best investments I made into myself. Thank you again!"

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.
The Warrior Workshops are hosted at our Private Training Facility: Freedom Ranch in Okeechobee, FL. This is a one-day training to transform you into becoming more self-confident and capable of defending your life. Everyone receives individualized attention and works one on one with our Instructors when on the range shooting. The Warrior Workshops Level 1 is 8am–5pm hosted at 11655 US-441 Okeechobee, FL 34974. Many people travel in from all over the state. We can't wait to welcome you!
We've all been told to "pay attention," but few truly know how. This new technique will quiet your busy mind and train you to focus on your surroundings, training you to be fully present in the moment. It's a skill you can use anywhere—whether you're walking through a parking lot, out to dinner, at work, or at home.
Each workshop includes a specially prepared lunch by our ranch's private chef. We dine together fostering a sense of team unity. All meals and drinks are included in your workshop 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.
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.
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 level 3 in October.
This workshop is so much more powerful than any express CCW class. I learned so many life lessons from it. I fully recommend this workshop to anyone that is willing to learn.
We are not 'Play Military for the day'. The Warrior Workshop is built for moms, dads, husbands, wives, everyday life people for everyday life scenarios.
