Self-Defense Training by Paladin Tower Tactics
THE FORGE
Prepare for the Fight That Matters
The Forge is an intensive, scenario-based self-defense course designed to prepare you for the gunfight, the legal fight, and the spiritual fight that follow a deadly-force encounter. Led by Scott Willey of Paladin Tower Tactics, this class goes beyond just technical skills—it builds the mindset and principles needed for responsible self-defense.
Hone your skills
Utilizing force-on-force training, students will engage in real-world scenarios with role players and non-lethal projectiles (airsoft) to test their decision-making under stress. This is not just about learning how to fight—it’s about understanding why we fight and ensuring that our actions are driven by love for what is good and a commitment to protecting others from harm.
