Core Freedom Alliance is a unique company with a very specific mission: teaching you how to control your environment.

We offer multiple services cultivated from the expertise our instructors bring to the table. Stop the Bleed, women's survival self-defense, dry fire tactical training, CCW classes, church safety development, jiu jitsu... the list continues to grow.We're also aligned with two foundational businesses for our model.First, The Rock Jiu Jitsu Team, which offers world class black belt leadership for the best self-defense training on offer.Second, LifeSpot App - the ultimate app on the planet when it comes to threat prevention. The safety of our schools and churches is crucial, and we are honored to work side-by-side with the incredible team behind this life-saving tool.

Dry Weapon Tactical Self-Defense

This is a precursor training regimen that we offer prior to any CCW course. Be it first time or renewing applicants, the experience is invaluable.Dry Fire training incorporates weapon safety, handling, carry, draw, movement, and self-defense with a weapon - the basic fundamentals that everyone should have if they plan to be a licensed firearm carrier.We stress situational awareness, discernment, and legal ramifications, all while conducting extensive hands-on personal training.While many CCW providers offer talking points during their classes, we take it several steps further by going through the actual content and training any responsible gun owner should know and have.

Women's Self-Defense

This is not a cookie cutter program. There is no 5-step plan for perfect protection. Every scenario is different, and so too must be your response.Most altercations are physical and violent. We teach you how to defend yourself against those that will knowingly, willingly, and intentionally attempt to bring you harm. While an ideal situation is handled in a manner where such violence is not necessary, when push comes to shove, we want to ensure you've developed the techniques and mindsets to protect yourself and your loved ones.In this group class, we begin where you're at. It doesn't matter if you're well-versed in self-defense, or if you've never thrown a single punch. We work with everyone in a hands-on setting, training not only on how to end a fight, but how to escape and, hopefully, prevent one.

Safety Ministry for Churches

We meet with your leadership, your staff, your safety team, and your respective ministries. Then we develop a personalized plan for your venue, staff, and volunteers, offering training that is second to none. Our senior leadership at CFA have more than 25 years of experience working in actual roles within churches, from mega to small, and we incorporate those years of service into every second of training and assessment.Our church and safety ministry development reaches far beyond just armed training. In fact, we prioritize the ministry element over weapons. Sure, we recognize the absolute need for a properly trained team that can handle serious threats – but we are more than just owners of a tactical company. We are former employees within church settings that have learned that there is far more to running a safety ministry than simply carrying a gun and waiting for the bad guys to show up.
