Enhancing Personal Safety Through Superior Training
Helping You Learn Self-Protection Skills
How Dare You?
Active Shooter Incidents, Domestic Terrorists, & the Threat of Assault are unfortunate realities of our daily lives. It’s vital to be able to defend yourself, your coworkers, & your family from any of these threats.
At Pugh Self Protection, we’re committed to helping you get home safely to your loved ones. We do not employ a victim mindset. These situations are an insult to our way of life, and we teach you to go on the offensive.
Our method levels the playing field and gives you the best chance of survival should someone decide to attempt to threaten or attack you
“That is how I felt as I was going through the training. How dare somebody attempt to hijack or attack my loved ones and I! Zach and his team create very life-like scenarios for us to react to. At the beginning of the training, I felt like a victim. At the end of the training,
I felt like a victor.” – CG.
Strategies to Overcome the Shooter(s)
SOS is no longer a distress signal: it is a system of survival
Active shooters are very real threats. If you find yourself in an active shooter situation, you need to know how best to defend yourself. Our active shooter training courses are designed to help you prepare. The courses will go over the mentality of an active shooter, techniques to maximize survival, and how your body will likely react to stress. You’ll even have the opportunity to practice everything that you’ve learned. This way, you can make sure that you’re prepared should you find yourself in this harrowing situation.
Armed and Unarmed ChAD Self-Defense
CHarge Attack and Distract
If you are reading this page, then you are a leader in business, in your family, or both. People look to leaders for certainty during times of crisis. While the shooter may have instigated the first attack, how you respond will determine your fate and that of your team or family.
Being able to defend yourself effectively is incredibly important. Whether you have a weapon or not, you need to know the skills and techniques to keep yourself safe. At Pugh Self Protection, we offer both armed and unarmed training courses. During the armed training courses, we’ll go over concealed carry laws, gun combat, and more to make sure that you can use your weapon safely and effectively. During the unarmed training courses, we’ll show you how to break out of a restrained position, disarm opponents, and otherwise defend yourself without a weapon. We offer a wide range of courses to choose from that will address many different situations. We can even provide you with customized courses, depending on your needs. Simply call us today to learn more about what we offer.
“You never know how these situations can turn out, but we will give you the best chance for you and your family to arrive home safe that day.” – Zach Pugh

Why Pugh? Why now?
We have specialized in Active Shooter Training since 2015. Run, Hide, Fight is not your best defense and can leave you in a vulnerable position. Our real-world scenario training will demonstrate the difference between traditional techniques and ours. You will assess your confidence level in handling an active situation at the beginning, and at the conclusion of our training. If you feel you have not increased your ability to handle an active situation, we will work with you individually until you reach that level or your money back.
