The Guardian Series
The Guardian Series of courses have been designed to bridge the gap between training that is traditionally reserved only for Law Enforcement or the Military, and Civilians. At Ronin Consulting Group, we don't believe in gatekeeping skills and education, especially in the modern world where threats are evolving at incredible speeds. In todays world, we are all Guardians of our own lives, our own families, our own communities, regardless of where your paycheck comes from. We believe those things are worthy of the highest levels of training and preparedness, so that's what you'll recieve in our training.
Note: You may notice that specific skills, techniques and tactics aren't listed in our course descriptions. That is intentional. While we don't gatekeep information in our classes, we also recognize that not everyone has honorable intentions. If you have specific questions about our course content, please

A class for those who want a better grasp of basic weapon handling and defensive techniques!

Guardian Low Light Handgun 1​
We’ve all heard the statistics; “X number of defensive shootings occur in low light conditions.” That’s something that we at Ronin take to heart. Whether you’re an EDC kind of guy, or a first responder on nights, this course will give you the solid foundation necessary to be confident when you’re alone in the dark. Given the complexities of low light training, space for this course is limited!

Guardian Low Light Handgun 2
Continuing from the skills developed in our Low Light Handgun 1 course, this class will give you the skills to weaponize the dark. This course will teach and develop real world applicable techniques and tactics for anyone who may find themselves armed in the dark. Given the complexities of low light training, space for this course is limited!
Guardian Rifle 1
This course serves as an excellent starting point for those who are just beginning to learn about their rifles, with an emphasis on defensive use. We will start with the sit-down basics and work our way up to live fire skills development. And for the shooters out there who want a refresher, this is a great way to refresh those perfect habits!

Guardian Rifle 2
Building on your foundation of formal rifle training, we created this class to improve existing skills and teach new ones. We’ll focus on keeping both you and your rifles running in adverse conditions, while improving foundation level skills. Additionally, we add stress inoculation to real world techniques and tactics.
​
Guardian Low Light Rifle 1
Operating a rifle effectively in low light conditions doesn’t require a $10k helmet/NOD’s setup. If you have that; Yes, absolutely run it! For the rest of us mortals, we’re stuck with good old fashioned handheld or weapon-mounted Luminance Deployment Units (flashlights). Whether you’re training for home defense, or running code at oh-dark-thirty, this course will give you the solid foundation necessary to be confident when you’re alone in the dark. Given the complexities of low light training, space for this course is limited!

Add stress inoculation to the mix, and you’re in for some seriously rewarding training! Topics focus on safety, developing your minds as well as your trigger fingers, tactical problem solving, and adding layers of stress to seemingly simple drills.
Guardian Shotgun 1
Everyone says that shotguns are great for self defense, but when was the last time you saw a class offered on how to use one effectively? This class dispels the myths and provides realistic training on using a shotgun as a serious defensive tool.
