Introducing The Women's Safety Academy


The Women's Shooting Academy is proud to announce the creation of The Women's Safety Academy.  I started the safety academy a few months ago because I realized there was a whole group of folks I was not reaching.  It has become very clear that a firearm is not for everyone.  I wanted to offer a variety of non-firearm classes, these class will now fall under The Women's Safety Academy.

As many of you already know, quite a few of my classes are co-ed.  I believe that your personal safety is a choice, not only is it a choice, it is your responsibility.  Please browse the website (http://www.womenssafetyacademy.com/), I have recently updated all the class information and added dates through April.  Some of these classes are already filling up quickly!

I am always looking for guest writers for either of my WSA blogs.  If you have something interesting and/or relevant to share please send me an email. Here are the links to the two blogs I maintain.

They say I fight like a girl. I DO, and am proud of it!

WARRIOR SELF DEFENSE 101
This class is designed to pick up where the WARRIOR in Every Woman Seminar leaves off. This is a very interactive class for any woman 12 yrs and older.
There are times when you may not have any personal protection items available. REMEMBER, you will always have your mind and body with you every day. You will learn how to fight with what you have, where you are, when you need it, utilizing your entire body to the fullest.

This class is taught by Alice Kreider, owner of USA Martial Arts Nevada. Alice is a 4th degree black belt.

Class time will be 1:00pm - 5:00pm. Sign up today so that you do not miss out. Payment is due in full when you register. Be sure to ask about Introductory Offer.

This is a non-firearm program.

The first knife training class for 2011 has been set for Sunday March 6th.  This is a one of a kind class being taught in Reno.  This class fills up every time we offer it.  DON'T find yourself on the waiting list!  Call Vicki at (775) 772-7064 to register.


MATT'S STORY
In closing I am posting a video that I play in my Ladies Intro. to Handguns Class.  Please take a moment to watch this short 4 minute video.
Here is my son's story in his own words. Armed robbery, home invasion, attempted murder, this was a random act of violence. I share this very personal story in hopes that you will begin to think about this and put together a plan for you and your family. The reason Matt did not have a firearm was due to the incident that happened to his friend 5 years prior. I am proud to tell you Matt is doing wonderful and serves our county in the United States Air Force.


Until next time...

HAPPY NEW YEAR

"Be always at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let each new year find you a better person"  -Benjamin Franklin

Due to an unexpected medical condition I had to cancel all class the last seven weeks of 2010.  I apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused some of you.  The good news is I am well rested and EXCITED to get back to teaching beginning this weekend!  I will be posting the schedule for the next couple of months on the website next week.

CCW CLASS (co-ed)  AND GUN ADD ON's
The first concealed carry class for 2011 is this coming Sunday the 9th.  If you are interested in attending please give me at call to register.  I will also be doing GUN ADD ON's in the afternoon for those of you looking to add any new guns to your permit.  The fee for your add on paperwork is $10.00 per gun, this is in addition to the small fee the sheriff's dept. will charge you to print your new card with the additions.  Again, must pre-register with Vicki.

01/01/2011  WSA INSTRUCTOR KRISTY DOING IT RIGHT
For the big game hunter this was a perfect way for Kristy to start her year AND end her hunting season.  
After 2 1/2 days of walking and looking for this guy...
SHE FOUND HIM.  

Here is what Kristy had to say:  "You've never really lived until you've experienced the total immersion in nature that hunting provides.  There is nothing like feeding your family the healthy meat that GOD created to nourish our bodies."
