Training For Everyday Life
This isn't tactical training. Everyone loves to use (overuse) the word, 'Tactical.' Life is nothing but tactics (choices). Our day-to-day life is filled with choices from one situation to the next. Making choices based on bad information and an incomplete skill-set is not a good idea no matter what buzzword you put before it.At MDFI, we work to give you the information, tools, and training that will help you make the right choice when you need it the most.
MDFI bases all of its training around the “Whole Person Concept, " essentially focusing on the traits that compose a responsible citizen. The goal of MDFI is to establish and build on a solid defensive foundation in the areas of firearms, less lethal tools, medical skills and other associated disciplines.
While some of the training MDFI conducts can be stressful at times, MDFI is proud to have created and offer an “EGO-FREE ZONE" where students are always encouraged to learn and will never be talked down-to by the cadre or their fellow students while attending any course, regardless of difficulty level.
We welcome all Americans, regardless of what they do and where they are from. If you are looking to learn more on being a responsibly-armed citizen, you have come to the right place.
Our staff is dedicated to helping ensure the safety and security of the citizens of Michigan and surrounding states by providing sound, proven defensive instruction in a safe, fun, and educational environment so students can grow as responsibly-armed citizens.
