Prior…read moreto the class the idea of handling a gun or even owning one made me (and our girls) very nervous. However after the class we all felt 10 times more comfortable. The instructor was very engaging, knowledgeable, and his assistant ;) was very helpful and friendly. Although we had another student in our class they both were very attentive and ensured that they answered all of our questions. We got to handle various types of firearms and participate in simulations to put our new knowledge to practice. I have and will continue to recommend this training to my family and friends. See you at the range!

In the classroom we…read morewalked through all the safety basics on how to properly and safely handle my firearm, maintaining my weapon, how to get on sight affectively, and how to handle malfunctions. Once we were ready, getting on the range and zeroing in my red dot sight was first to ensure accuracy. After that, we worked on getting the sight on target and a smooth trigger pull. After reviewing some tendencies in my misses and minor adjustments to my fundamentals, I began to tighten up my groupings and shoot better and better. Frank was very diligent at all times, making sure i took my time, and ensuring I was comfortable, confident, and safe throughout the whole course. If you are a newer shooter like me and want to gain the knowledge necessary to safely and affectively use your handgun, look no further than Frank at RangeRulesllc.com. I cannot recommend this training course enough for anyone who wants to gain more confidence and educate themselves on how to safely and properly operate their handgun!

He takes the time to ensure every student understands not just what to do, but why it matters, especially when it comes to firearm safety and proper technique.

After finally finding someone to sign me in, all he said is wait for them to call your name. No going over safety rules, where to put your things or your what to expect. If something is unclear, you basically need to find someone in charge and ask one of them. Amongst the firing line was a bearded little person with a Nepolion complex and a megaphone berating the shooters about every "mistake" he felt they are making. A guy a few spots to my left raised his hand to ask a question and he yelled at him for turning his head towards him, saying it was an incredibly dangerous gesture. The guy's hand was up in the air, clearly without a firearm in it and that was dangerous? Another guy to my right put his empty magazine in his pocket and he got yelled at too. I heard him saying he would be murdered in real life if he did that and that he needed to drop his magazine on the ground. One of the other range officers had to come him down. I'm not sure if any range safety brief was gone over earlier in the day, but no one who got there at 9:45AM heard anything. Some people were even asking me where to put their guns and equipment. Not sure if the little person with the beard even comprihends that these are his clients that paid him money for a service, because he was acting to me like someone who felt he was doing them some kind of favor. Even at the end of it all we didn't know if we had to stay or if we could go home. They said my safety certificate would get to me by Tuesday. That was late by a few days too and when I followed up, I got no response. If you're looking for terrible customers service, you found it!

Fabiano was warm and welcoming responding to my e-mails and giving a tour of the facility. My past martial arts experience has been 3 years in Tae Kwon Do and 2 years in Judo as a youth practitioner, followed by 2 years of high school wrestling, and 2 years boxing as an adult. I typically refrain from reviewing a trial class, but what stood out from the class was how the instruction was provided. I had Professor Aluizio and Elisabeth (both very well decorated competitors as I have found) teaching the class. Techniques were shown clearly and concisely, yet small details to make a technique work is also shown. There was a good mix of experienced guys (above blue belt) working with white belts that you get small pointers and controlled application of techniques. The instructors were frequently around to correct and observe. I had my son in the youth class a week later w/ Elisabeth. Having already been in Judo, he picked up all the additional drills pretty quickly. Class was divided pretty well from warm up, ground mobility/rolls, and break falls. One technique was shown and then practiced/drilled. There was actual sparring/rolling/randori at the end of class, which was well supervised with Elisabeth and Aluizio watching the matches closely. I would like to update the review if/when I or my kids get the chance to do regular classes in the future.

The mat space is big and well maintained. The kids classes are excellent and my son enjoys the instruction. There is a nice mix of young and old students (16-50), with both athletic competition focused partners and people like me who are in it for the challenge, fitness, and self defense. The fees are very reasonable for the area, especially considering that one fee covers Both the BJJ instruction and any other classes you might want to take from arena (boxing, Muay Thai, etc.).
