REVGYM & FIGHT-U WEEK OF 11.18.24

REVGYM & FIGHT-U TRIBE!

Anything is possible… Believe.

See it.

Feel it.

With your heart, in your bones…

Breathe it into existence.

Live it and give it the life it deserves…

Then let it grow into something that others can see and feel light in…

Allow it to become the manifestation of others…

Light breeds light.

Be that for someone today.

Our FREE Firearm Safety & Handling clinic this last Friday was great! Nearly a dozen of you came prepared to learn skill sets and legalities around self defense use of your firearms… and you all did so well! From those who’d never had any experience around firearms to very experienced, retired military, this group trained well, and had very intelligent questions!

The Iron Arsenal “EDC² - Every Day Combatives & CQB” paid portion of the evening, had the practitioners utilizing pivot work with sternum press, seated to standing draws, vehicular draws from the driver’s seat, and more!

Super fun night all! Thank you!!!
