When disaster strikes, will you be ready? Many believe they can handle emergencies as they arise. However, during natural disasters, violent threats, or economic collapses, mere intention isn’t sufficient. At American Preparedness Academy, we transform preparedness into action. Through immersive training, real-world scenarios, and expert guidance, we instill unwavering confidence, ensuring that when the worst occurs, you act decisively, not reactively.

Our Offerings:

Self-Defense Training

Our comprehensive self-defense program integrates proven martial arts techniques with responsible firearms handling, equipping students to effectively respond to various threats. Safety is our top priority, with strict adherence to firearm safety rules. Qualified instructors with expertise in both martial arts and firearms lead the training, ensuring compliance with all legal requirements. Participants should maintain a reasonable level of physical fitness, with increasing demands at advanced levels. Students are responsible for providing their own firearms, ammunition, and protective gear, with specific requirements provided for each tier.

Firearms Sales / Transfers / Training

We offer training that progresses from basic to advanced firearms skills, covering fundamental safety, handling, and marksmanship, advancing to tactical applications and defensive shooting techniques. Beginners focus on firearm safety, proper grip, stance, aiming, and trigger control. Intermediate training introduces dynamic shooting, reloading drills, and shooting under stress. Advanced courses emphasize situational awareness, close-quarters combat, movement-based shooting, and scenario-based training for self-defense or professional applications. Throughout all levels, we emphasize responsible firearm ownership, legal considerations, and developing confidence and proficiency in various environments.

First Aid and CPR Training

Our First Aid and CPR training equips individuals with essential life-saving skills to respond to medical emergencies. The course covers wound care, burns, fractures, choking, and sudden illnesses, along with hands-on instruction in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for adults, children, and infants. Participants learn to assess situations, provide immediate care, and use automated external defibrillators (AEDs) when necessary. This training enhances preparedness, confidence, and the ability to act effectively in emergencies, potentially saving lives before professional medical help arrives.

Disaster Planning / Situational Awareness

We offer a structured program designed to prepare individuals and organizations for emergencies such as natural disasters, fires, and other crises. It covers risk assessment, emergency response procedures, evacuation protocols, communication strategies, and recovery planning. The training ensures that participants can act quickly and effectively to minimize damage, protect lives, and maintain operations during and after a disaster.
