The Journey Academy

Your Next Step in Responsible Firearms Ownership

Self‑defense is more than owning a firearm—it’s preparation, skill, confidence, and mindset. The Journey Academy is a 3‑class training path that takes you from safe handling to real‑world defensive skills, one step at a time.

Classes run Wednesdays at 5:30 PM on a revolving basis (start any week). Weekend options are available and scheduled in advance. Your full schedule arrives in a separate welcome email after registration.

What You’ll Learn (Course Breakdown)

1) Firearms Manipulation

Build the foundation that makes everything else work.

  • Proper handling, Sight Alignment, Trigger Control

  • Safe draw from concealment: consistent, efficient, and under control

  • Malfunction clearing: diagnose and fix the most common stoppages

  • Reloads under pressure: emergency and tactical reloads you can trust

  • Reps that stick: drills that turn good form into instinct

Outcome: Leave with a clean, repeatable process for handling your firearm safely and efficiently—so your fundamentals hold up when it matters.

2) Firearms Maintenance & Gear

Reliability starts before you step on the range.

  • Hands‑on cleaning & care: prevent avoidable failures

  • Storage best practices: secure, compliant, and practical

  • Gear setup: holsters, belts, lights, optics—what matters and why

  • Personalized fit: get your setup dialed for comfort and consistency

Outcome: A maintenance routine and gear plan you can sustain—so your equipment performs when you need it.

3) Basic Pistol (Live‑Fire)

Put the pieces together on the range.

  • Accuracy & speed: sight picture, trigger press, and follow‑through

  • Shot‑to‑shot control: recoil management and cadence

  • Performance feedback: measurable progress you can see

Outcome: Safe, effective shooting habits that transfer to everyday carry and defensive contexts.
