Core Dynamics Firearms Training — Attraction in Chandler

I have taken 2 classes with Core dynamics now and frankly I'm obsessed! Started with the CCW course, since I was renewing my license due to letting it laps I figured it was about to be a boring 4 hours of crap I already knew. How ever the insight and depth chris went into left me with a whole new perspective on conceal carry, from the laws to pratical application how ever it absolutely left me with a desire to further my education. This was surprising to me as it was a subject that I am very comfortable with and firmly belived the best use of my time was running drills in the desert and just stay sharp. He had mentioned his Force on force LV 1 course and this felt like the logical next step for me, I thought I had a good idea of what I was getting into but my expectations after taking the course today where obviously way under developed. I will not give any spoilers of the course per Chris's request but everything I thought I knew was quickly tossed out no ammount of videos, range days, or simulations can even begin to mimic what Chris and his team have put together. You truly do not have a clue what you will do until you are put in these types of situations.... I loved it so much I signed up for the Lv 2 course during my lunch break. THIS is the gold standard of training and am looking forward to many more hours with chris and the team as I now feel there is so much that I am lacking and so much room to grow!...

I took the “Intro to Pistol” course with Chris. I'm very glad I took it and would highly recommend it. As someone who hasn't shot a gun in 10 years (and only a handful of times at that) I came away with a great foundation which I feel comfortable building on. Chris provides equipment if you don't have it, and since I'm looking to buy a pistol he gave me a few guns to try out.

We learned about the makeup of the gun, how to safely and properly pick up, hold, reload, and shoot the gun. We also covered proper holstering/unholstering, how to deal with malfunctions, and awareness of your surroundings. Chris diagnoses any issues you have along the way and gave us feedback after shots on our form and how to achieve consistent and good aim. He also had us watch other students do things, which helped me better understand subtleties since people had different techniques, made different mistakes, and were operating different guns. Chris is passionate and provides valuable knowledge, while keeping the tone of the course aligned with the serious nature you may deal with in a real-life self-defense situation. Every movement he shows is intentional and optimized for efficiency and survival. There was so much breadth covered in the course I honestly think I could take it a couple more times and get something out of it. I came away knowing what I should practice, and most importantly the confidence and ability to...

I was gifted the opportunity to take the force on force class with Core Dynamics. As my first time taking any sort of class I was unsure what to expect, but the lead instructor Chris and his team were absolute professionals. The point of the class was to simulate being in scenarios where a weapon may be needed, and to test your reaction both before and after.

I couldn't recommend this class more to anyone whether you're a seasoned trainee or first timer. The most difficult part about learning a skill is the "unknown unknowns", the gaps in your knowledge you weren't even aware of or never knew to think about. This course gave me the opportunity to find out where I was at, what I needed to work on, and opened my eyes to self defense in the bigger picture.

Chris and his team have built an amazing community, not only for teaching his classes, but also allowing previous students to be actors in these scenarios. On multiple occasions Chris said "the follow on class to lvl 1 force on force is to be an actor, that's where you learn the other half" and I look forward to testing that out in the future.

Overall I can't recommend Core Dynamics enough. The instructors are super knowledgeable, the scenarios/training is well produced and structured (Chris is really proud of his energy drink and vehicle props), and the knowledge you leave with is worth infinitely more than the course price. 10 outta 10,...
