Most people picture room clearing as a four- or five-man stack kicking doors overseas.
That’s not reality for responsible citizens.
The most likely scenario you will ever face is this:
You’re alone. It’s dark. Your family is behind you.
You have to move toward the threat — not wait for help.
This course is built for that reality.
The Tactical Pistol Shoot House Class is a fast-paced, high-stress program designed to teach realistic pistol fighting inside structures — the kind that happens in homes, churches, workplaces, and stores. We specialize in solo and small-team clearing, because that’s how violent encounters actually unfold for civilians.
This is not a square-range class.
This is not scripted “check the box” training.
You will move, think, decide, and fight your way through our shoot house — sometimes alone, sometimes working with a partner — learning how to clear rooms, manage unknowns, and make decisions when hesitation can cost lives.
You’ll learn how to fight through confined spaces, doorways, hallways, and corners while managing stress, limited visibility, and imperfect information — exactly what real-world violence looks like.
What You’ll Train
-
Moving and engaging inside structures
-
Improvised shooting positions (off balance, kneeling, prone, compromised)
-
Shooting from and around real cover
-
Using cover correctly inside a building (not hugging walls that get you killed)
-
Doorway and corner management under stress
-
Solo room clearing techniques for protecting family members
-
Prioritizing known vs unknown threats
-
Close-quarter engagements inside confined spaces
-
Fighting threats at contact distance
-
Pushing threats using visual and auditory stimuli
-
Methodical clearing when no visual or auditory cues exist
You’ll be forced to process information, make decisions, and act — not just shoot.

If you’ve trained on square ranges and wondered how those skills translate inside your own home — this class answers that question.
This is where marksmanship meets movement.
Where mindset meets reality.
Where civilians learn to fight inside the spaces that actually matter.
Train for the fight you’re most likely to face — not the one you hope never comes.
