West Coast Tactical was formed by a group of dedicated professional shooting instructors whose goal is to provide high quality, affordable, instruction.
We have spent thousands of dollars and thousands of hours training at some of the best schools on the planet. Now, you too, can benefit from that experience.
Our courses are offered in two blocks of instruction, one week apart. This allows you, the student, to absorb and ingrain the skills being taught before moving on to the next level, thus maximizing the learning gradient.
We encourage serious students of self defense to enroll at all the big name schools, yet we realize that time and financial constraints may not make this possible. The format at West Coast Tactical is economically friendly, allowing you to pay as you go.
We look forward to training you, your friends, and your families. We thank you for visiting our site and look forward to training with you now and in the future.
At West Coast Tactical we rely on the keep it simple principle. Researchers have concluded that under extreme stress one's fine and complex motor skill can become greatly impaired. Vision abnormalities, auditory exclusion, and other stress induced physiological changes can inhibit one's ability to counter an extreme stress life threatening event.
West Coast Tactical techniques rely on gross motor skills as much as possible. Flashy techniques may be mildly interesting and cool looking on the range, but when your life and the lives of your loved ones are at stake, simple and effective solutions that have been battle tested will win the day.
In the end, winning a life and death struggle boils down to this: Execution of the basics faster than your adversary.
