Selection of an Instructor

One of the important questions you should ask when considering spending your money on training is what type of instructor should I choose so I will be provided with the type of instruction that will be most valuable to me.

Stephen Wenger has a web page on this subject that you might want to consider reading before making that decision.  The page can be found at  http://www.spw-duf.info/instructor.html.

Stephen identifies four basic models for shooting instruction.

1. Self Defense Model - Suarez International and Massod Ayoob's  LFI  courses are examples of two companies who use this model.
2. Law Enforcement model - Most instructors who teach using this model have a law enforcement background. The rules of engagement and tactics that apply to law enforcement offer are not generally useful for a civilian person who has a CCW and expects to use their handgun for self defense. 
3. Military model - Instructors who use this model will have a military background or SWAT background and teach the tactics and techniques useful for those types of situations.
4. Competition model - Instructors who teach with this model will tend to emphasize their competition credentials, especially in IDPA and/or IPSC or other forms of competition shooting.  They tend to be excellent target shooters and often excel in competitions.  Most NRA courses tend to fall into this category

The training offered by JB Training LLC is based on the self defense model as we believe this model offers the best instruction for a person who may have to use a handgun to defend themselves.  The tactics and techniques we teach are designed for a person who carries or may carry a pistol or who wishes to protect themselves in their home using a pistol.
