Able Shepherd™ is the standards-setting, nationally-recognized progressive training program designed to teach men and women situational leadership and protective tactics that can be applied to virtually any threatened environment. We operate from the belief that your family’s immediate safety cannot be delegated; you can be the fastest and most capable ‘first responder’ in your immediate vicinity.

At its core, Able Shepherd™ is an elite level self-defense program utilizing armed and unarmed tactics.
