There is a misconception that simply having a firearm can solve any problem, but this is flatly wrong. If someone approaches you in a dimly lit parking lot yelling out at you, your natural response shouldn’t be to draw your concealed firearm and deposit some hollow points into them.
W.O.F.T. is a different kind of training facility located in Florida. It takes a holistic approach to self-defense and is intended for all members of your family — not just the gun enthusiasts.
It could be an elderly man that’s lost, a woman with dementia, a teenager with a flat tire and a dead phone needing to call a tow truck, or something else that is totally innocuous and harmless. The point is, we need “soft skills” so we can vigilantly protect ourselves without incorrectly applying lethal force.
A famous quote from firearm instructor Chuck Haggard warns us, “there should be something between a harsh word and a gun.” This is where W.O.F.T. comes in.
I first attended Where Our Families Train (W.O.F.T.) three years ago during an industry media event and was fortunate enough to have been introduced to this world-class facility.
The W.O.F.T. facility offers a variety of firearms training classes intended to help you survive a deadly force encounter.
W.O.F.T. has instructors to teach you a full spectrum of defensive tactics about situational awareness, knives, flashlights, using your voice powerfully, medical training, pepper spray, tasers, hand-to-hand, and yes, firearms.
In this article, I am going to provide you with an overview of the W.O.F.T. facility. I believe it is one of the best training facilities I have ever visited.
The W.O.F.T. facility is comprised of various stations where subject matter expert (SME) instructors cover various topics relevant to home and self-defense. Since my prior visit, the company added several stations to bring the facility up to covering eight important topics:
Station #2 — Dirt Medicine/Stop the Bleed
Station #3 — Lowlight Scenario Training
Station #4 — Coffee Shop — Real World Scenarios
Station #5 — Combative Room — Situational Combatives with/without Flashlight
Station #6 — 100 Yard Gun Bay — Anti-Carjacking
Station #7 — 50 Yard Gun Bay — Handgun Evaluation
Station #8 — Shoot House — Skills Evaluation
Station #9 — Covered Rifle Area
While each station is unique, they do share one thing in common: W.O.F.T. strives to make you well-rounded when it comes to protecting yourself and your loved ones.
