Testimonials
Bottom line: Beau Doboszenski is one of the premier firearms/self-defense instructors in the U.S. The DMT method is the most scientifically researched, revolutionary training method on the planet. Even though there are some starting to understand the DMT way, very few are using even half of the content (if even using it properly). DMT has the expertise and experience to bring you to higher levels of self-defense skills than you thought possible, all from an instructor who will never make you feel small.
