WHY GATEKEEPER DEFENSE TRAINING 

Gatekeeper Defense Training provides professional firearms and use-of-force education for responsible civilians and church safety teams in Central Florida. Our training is focused on preparing individuals to make sound decisions and apply practical skills when protecting life matters most.

We work with everyday gun owners, armed volunteers, and faith-based safety teams to build confidence, discipline, and accountability under pressure. Training emphasizes real-world defensive application, decision-making, and safe gun handling rather than competition or theory alone.

Led by certified instructors, our courses include defensive handgun training, use-of-force education, and church safety team instruction grounded in realistic scenarios, legal context, and a strong commitment to safety.

Whether you are new to formal training or refining existing skills, Gatekeeper Defense Training delivers clear, professional instruction in a focused, no-nonsense environment.

Unlike permit-only or competition-focused classes, Gatekeeper Defense Training emphasizes structured defensive skill development rooted in safety, legal awareness, and real-world application. Our training progression allows students and church teams to build foundational competence before advancing into scenario-based development and decision-making courses.

WHAT MAKES GATEKEEPER DIFFERENT

Certified Instruction

Real credentials. Real experience.

Scenario-Based Training

More than targets. More than theory.
Every course simulates real-world decisions under pressure— because paper drills don’t carry over.

Small

Class Sizes

No overstuffed groups. No missed questions.

Controlled, safe, and distraction-free.
Train in a private outdoor environment built for realism — not a crowded public range.
