What is W.O.F.T. Training?<\/a><\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

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\u2019t be to draw your concealed firearm and deposit some hollow points<\/a>\u00a0into them.<\/h2>\n

<\/picture>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 \u2014 not just the gun enthusiasts.<\/h2>\n

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.<\/h2>\n

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.<\/h2>\n

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:<\/h2>\n
