We are committed to the safety of all our students, and hold that the expected benefit of any training activity must certainly outweigh any known or perceived risk of that activity. We believe that it is our ethical duty and responsibility to understand not just what what we are teaching, but WHY we are teaching any technique or concept, or offering specific advice. We take defensive shooting skills very serious we recognize that defensive shooting skills, along with the drills and gear used, are inherently specialized and imperative. We encourage our students to ask questions about the materials and resources being being provided in our classes, and we will provide answers with thorough and objective explanations.

We here at Scorpion Defense believe that it is valuable to engage in our students in constructive conversation about differences in techniques and concepts, with the goal of mutual education and understanding. We also believe that the best instructor is an avid student, and we strive to continually upgrade our own skills and knowledge. As part of this belief, we understand that our own teachings need to be subject to critique and open to conversation.
