Training Courses

Following are the three training courses we currently offer to women of various ages and experience levels.

Group of students training
Unarmed Self-Protection Classes (Ages 13 and up)

Our unarmed self-protection classes provide women with real-world skills and techniques to protect themselves effectively, without relying on weapons. Our highly experienced instructors will guide you through our proprietary curriculum specifically designed for women.

This is NOT a martial arts class – it is a system of training that enables our students to have instinctually-based responses, not a memorized set of moves. Our students are empowered with the competence to become confident in any situation they may face in their daily lives.

“Going off to college can be scary for a young girl, especially living on your own. The self- defense workshop I took through Charlie Moore Training has allowed me to go into college with confidence and a feeling of safety.”

— Ava Paga, UGA Junior & AXO sorority member

Group of students gathered
Less Lethal Device Classes (Ages 16 and up, or as dictated by law)

In our less lethal device classes, we introduce women to a range of tools and devices that can be used for self-protection purposes. These devices are pepper spray, personal alarms, tactical pens, and Tasers. Our instructors – with over 70 years of real-world experience dealing with violence – teach you proper access and deployment tactics and techniques, situational awareness, human performance factors, and more, all to ensure you can use these tools safely and effectively while under the stress of a real-life encounter.

“Hands down the BEST self-protection courses and workshops for women! Charlie only teaches tried and true methods that work in the real world. While he challenges you to push yourself, you are always comfortable and become empowered! If you’re on the fence about taking a course from Charlie, do yourself a favor and GO FOR IT!”

— Jen Tacbas, Unarmed Self-Protection & Less Lethal Device Student

Firearms Training – Carry permit required

For those who possess a carry permit for the jurisdiction of the training course attended, we offer a comprehensive firearms training developed for women by a woman with over 30 years working as a US Marshal.

Our courses focus on firearm safety, marksmanship, defensive shooting techniques, and the understanding the legal responsibilities associated with carrying a firearm.

Our advanced firearms courses take the basic skills learned and add the factors which take the range into reality, namely stress, environment, and movement.

“Awesome training – awesome people! I’ve attended Charlie’s seminars and taken several hands- on training classes with him and Rachael. Their knowledge and passion for what they do is evident, and their encouragement and belief in their students is so motivating.”

— Beverly Johnson, Firearms Student
