DESCRIPTION:
Class Flow: INTENSE (students can expect full day of movement, physicality, and shooting from uncommon positions).
Life happens. Bad things happen. For this reason we need to train for when things aren’t all rainbows and kittens. When Things Go Bad is built around the fact that in a defensive situation, we may lose the ability to employ the perfect shooting techniques or have the support of both hands by injury or need. This class is designed to prepare the student to keep their handgun up and running regardless of the situation.
This class is for the intermediate to experienced shooter who understands and applies the four rules of responsible firearms handling as a way of life. Students should be absolutely competent in manipulating a handgun with both hands available. This class is stressful and will test those who attend.

- In-depth Firearms Responsibility (safety) and Medical Briefing

Incredibly helpful class. If we ever find ourselves in a self defense situation, obviously things are already going bad. I came away with a much better understanding of how to solve problems with the conditions aren't ideal. As always with MDFI the day was beyond safe. Highly recommend for anyone looking to expand their skills/confidence.
This is the most important MDFI class on the list. Not only is it useful it is also the most fun class I have taken with MDFI. Do not be afraid of this class, the ego free zone is real and this class WILL make you a better shooter and more dangerous to people who want to hurt you and your family.
If you are 100% confident and competent with manipulating a firearm around others do not sleep on this class! WTGB Is a class that everyone should take if they are going to carry a firearm everyday for self defense. You will learn to never quit and stay in the fight. This class is a blast, you wont regret taking it.
As a Law Enforcement Officer, training from up close and when you are not in an ideal shooting position is common that was not addressed at our department. When Things Go Bad went well above exceeding my expectations. It was the first class I took through MDFI and I have every intention of taking many more and taking the skills learned back to my department. Trek and the Cadre are knowledgeable and skilled beyond most other classes I've taken and were able to answer many questions and give scenarios when a LEO would use different elements taught. I felt very comfortable and safe throughout the entire class thanks to them and I express my appreciation towards them. Take this class and you will be happy you did. Very eye opening and will be taking the class again.
When Things Go Bad is a great complement to Handgun Cover + Movement. Many of the topics are related, and while C + M is more physically taxing, WTGB introduces many unique situations such as contact shooting, retention shooting, and how to shoot and manipulate the gun with an injury. As always, the cadre provides an exceptional and controlled atmosphere to train in concepts that we normally cannot do on the range. Thanks again guys!
