Mindset

How we prepare ourselves for potentially life altering situations makes all the difference. Survival means more than just staying alive. Examining real-world defensive encounters and drawing lessons from them helps us better understand how to train effectively.

Testimonials

My 1 on 1 training experience with Matt was very positive. He encouraged me to stand outside of my comfort zone and try new things. He made sure to answer all of my questions and didn't just make it about him. I found a new drive for wanting to expand my shooting knowledge following the training session with him. Also I'd like to add that even after the lesson was over he still stayed in contact with me and continued to answer any questions I had. To anyone who is wanting to grow their shooting capabilities I would highly recommend taking one of his classes and/or doing a private lesson with him.

“Matt is both a phenomenal educator and student. His passion for his own improvement and journey to master the martial art of Pistolcraft, is also reflected in his care and drive for the development of his students and clients.”

  1. I’d like to preface this with stating that prior to training with Matt and Green Ops, the only experience I had with firearms was mag dumping into trash and the rare shooting competition.

  2. I’ve done several training classes with Matt from April 2023 to present and have taken a couple classes more than once. One of the things that makes him such a great instructor is that he is able to match his level explanation and instruction to my level of comprehension. My first few classes with him he was able to break down the concepts to me in a manner that wasn’t overwhelming for a relatively new shooter. There was no word vomit or buzz words in the instruction, just practical applications.  As I progressed to a more competent shooter, he was able to give me further instruction to fine tune my skill set. I absolutely recommend getting instruction from him and look forward to learning more from his classes in the future.
