MDW attracts Instructors and practitioners (many leaders in their field of expertise) from a broad range of martial arts and or firearm related backgrounds that have selected the MDW methodology of problem solving and skill transfer methods to compliment and grow their existing skills.

When it comes to firearms, using dummy rounds is essential for improving shooting skills and firearm handling. They can enhance your accuracy and proficiency, allowing you to practice quick and tactical reloads effectively.

Information and reviews on training and tactical gear

A massive thanks for the unique experience at yesterday's Rusty Gun (what a blast, excuse the pun) at first that Glock felt weighty but by the end of the session it more an extension of my arm. Invaluable safety do's and don'ts and hands on for potentially real scenarios - tracking and close up confrontations (that was a little intense first time round!)

Dear Mark and John
A huge thank you for the time and effort you put into imparting your skills and knowledge to the officers at Stonehurst. I can already see the officers growing in confidence and a new found enthusiasm for the tasks at hand. Majority of the officers have expressed their gratitude as well.
I will definitely endeavor to keep this relationship going for as long as I’m at Stonehurst because I see and know the value of the training.
Many Thanks
