About Me
What qualifies me to teach gun handling? . . . COME TO THE RANGE AND SHOOT WITH ME!
What qualifies me to teach mindset?- Growing up in the streets of Detroit. . . .Where I learned the importance of
- Self Control
- To Act rather than React
- To Think and Strategize rather than Worry
- I learned how to
- Avoid by Engaging
- Squelch by Stature rather than Bravado
The warrior mindset can be developed!
It starts with the necessity to righteously defend something or
someone. Then, the rawness of discipline, the simplicity of repetition,
mixed with the reality of one’s environment and the MORAL AND ETHICAL
laws that govern that environment. These turn into some of the basic
ingredients for becoming a peaceful person with a warrior’s skills and
mindset.
I
believe that if you are a Christian and you “PRESS IN” to the Knowledge
of the Father and you solidify your identity in Him, much of the
above will begin to rise up in your person like crude oil making its way
to the surface of the earth. The “PRESSING IN” is like the drill and
the derrick BUT,
when the oil comes to the surface it must still be
refined. If you are not a Christian you can ignore my references to My
Father who raised me and protected me on the streets of Detroit and you are
still welcome to come shoot with me.
Although I am the founder of AFDTI, I in no way claim to be an expert at anything, but I do claim to be a decent shooter. I am an NRA certified handgun instructor and I have spent hundreds if not thousands of hours with a gun in my hand. I’m hoping that anybody who takes any one of my courses, if they are not already, will become a better defensive shooter than myself. But keep on practicing because I’m not standing still.
Defensive handgun techniques are not just about accuracy and speed, which are two very important aspects of any gun discipline, but mindset is key to carrying a hand gun responsibly. Tactical Handgun Techniques are also important aspects that are often overlooked. If you are currently going to the range and shooting at a target with your pistol being presented from a bench in front of you, you are not developing the muscle memory that is necessary for you to survive in a real defensive handgun situation. If you have a CPL, whether you carry or not, and you live in "CODE WHITE" tweak your awareness to a "CODE YELLOW". . . AND COME TRAIN WITH US!
AFDTI is not trying to imitate any of the many sports oriented disciplines that are available to handgun enthusiasts. What we are attempting to do is to break down into small affordable packets the training that others including myself have paid dearly for. If you train with us at least once every other month and then take what you have learned home with you and dry-fire practice what you have learned at least every other day, if you work to develop a steady self controlled mindset considering the tactical information that you will be receiving, you will be on your way to becoming a truly responsible handgun carrier.
I’m Lowel Lewis!
