    I will definitely recommend taking a firearms safety class before buying or shooting at a range.

    If you are a novice interested in learning about responsible use of self-defense on any level -…read moreIvan is your guy. As novices with minimal experience, my friend & I were seeking fundamentals + hands-on + overall education/update on ever-changing legal landscape here in CA if/when deciding pursue CCW. It's SO confusing! That said, learning about what responsible ownership looks like here in California was a top priority. We learned SO MUCH. In addition to learning the basics, ie. attitude for owning and operating a handgun safely, we got MANY rounds of practice, and in an outdoor setting (Ivan is a member of Rainbow shooting range), HUGE bonus - lots of fresh air, sunshine & no distractions (and no STINK ... if you've been to certain local indoor ranges here in N SD County, you know what I'm talking about!) While it took me a hot minute to get used to keeping my finger off the trigger, with practice and Ivan's "firm encouragement" by the end of our training, felt totally natural. Not two ways about it, Ivan's a strickler for safety, but that's exactly what we wanted. He's extremely thorough, covered everything including range etiquette, using sights, shooting from the holster, safely/quickly loading/unloading, how to clean (even offered to show me how to clean my shot gun, which I brought along to our training). He also educated us on CA laws & NRA certifications. Literally, everything we asked for, and then some. If you're a beginner, I strongly recommend personal vs. group/class training for something as important as this. Since just two of us with one instructor, we could move rapidly through the course work & interact real-time, asking questions as they came up vs. sharing time/attention among others in a group who may have slowed the pace and/or required extra attention. Especially if time is an issue for you, being able to learn so much in an accelerated format is such an advantage. For just slightly more than the cost of group/class training ... you get SO MUCH more with personal instruction. And in my opinion, for THIS kind of training ... you DON'T want to cut corners. Ivan is a confident, knowledgeable, very thorough instructor. I highly recommend him & plan to continue training with him while here visiting CA.

    Prior to my appointment with Ivan, I had very little exposure/experience with firearms. I was…read moreexcited to gain more knowledge and experience, but also nervous as I'm generally an anxious person. In short: I cannot speak more highly of the experience that I had with Ivan at the range!! We made our appointment to visit a local range where I needed to read a safety binder and take a test prior to shooting. Ivan patiently waited while I read the manual thoroughly -- he didn't make me feel rushed nor did he pressure me to hurry through it. This was impactful because I am the kind of person that reads manuals and safety material cause I want to know the ins and outs; I don't like to use "I didn't know" as an excuse. Having the freedom to thoroughly read the materials really set the tone for the rest of the day. Before we stepped onto the floor, Ivan made sure to explain the what would be going on in a way that made things crystal clear for me as well as instilling me with a great deal of confidence. Not only that, but he reminded me that I could stop to ask questions any time or ask for further clarification. The entire experience from start to finish was top notch! We went through several rounds with a handgun then moved onto the rifle. The shooting experience itself was exhilarating and educational all thanks to Ivan! I walked away feeling empowered, confident, and with a new-found reverence for the sport. Cannot recommend Ivan and his services enough!

Phil, Reid and Alaina work as a team to keep all aspects of the eight hour class interesting, informative, and applicable to real-world situations. The day started in the classroom with some familiarization, paperwork, and a few runs through the simulator next door at Shore Shot. This gets everyone loosened up, and I think they use this brief session to check out your basic gun-handling skills - safety is always in the forefront. Before long we headed to the range for the live fire evaluation. At every opportunity the four rules of firearm safety are repeated and modeled. The live fire evaluation is conducted in exact sequence with the SDSO course of fire, but handled in a low-stress way that makes success attainable. Once back in the classroom the information is delivered in a way that keeps everyone involved, and its interactive, and while all of the content is delivered it never feels like you're stuck in some boring traffic school type environment. Sessions with the simulator are interspersed with the classroom sessions. This provides an opportunity to stand up, strap up, and work through de-escalation tactics, shoot/no-shoot situations, multiple threats, and even a vicious dog scenario. The emphasis throughout the day is not on right or wrong answers, but safety and a sincere focus on learning and applying the lessons of the course. Whether you are interested in an intro to firearms class, initial ccw class, ccw renewal class, or any of the other self-defense and security classes they offer, I don't think you'll find a better learning environment than Nanpor.

    I have been searching for Krav Maga classes that I have been missing since I moved to San Diego…read morefrom Chicago a couple years ago. In my search, I have gone to a few trial classes around the area but could not find the same intensity, the aggression, skills, and the same workout that I was used to getting in Chicago. I was about to give up on my search until one day I stumbled across Caliber 3 on one of my random Sunday morning searches and thought that I would check it out. I was immediately impressed with their facility, none that I am used to, not your typical neighborhood hole in the wall gym. The entire staff is extremely friendly and helpful. I could tell that they were passionate about teaching and everything that they do as they were walking me through the facility as well as giving me a history on Caliber 3, originating from Israel and how they wanted to bring their knowledge to the U.S. The instructors are the real deal, all first hand skills and teachings from former IDF. They are great teachers, accommodating to anyone that wants to learn. May you be young or old, nerd or athlete, beginner or advanced, first timer or Bruce Lee. Don't be intimidated to try, you will not regret it. You will get the workout and learn practical self-defense all at the same time. "Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try"
