Meet Your Instructors
Gabe Smith
Founder and Instructor
Born and raised in Reno, NV, I’ve dedicated my life to service and readiness. I served in the U.S. Army with two deployments to Iraq in 2003 and 2005 and worked as a police officer for 9 years. During my career, I served on the SWAT team for over 7 years and as a Sniper for 5.
I’m passionate about sharing the lessons I’ve learned from the military, law enforcement, and life. Fitness and mental resilience aren’t just vital on the range or in the field, they’re essential for everyday challenges. My goal is to equip you with the skills, mindset, and confidence to protect yourself, protect others, and be a trusted asset to your community.
Samson Wilson
Self Protection Instructor
Life long resident of the Reno/Sparks area. Dedicated husband & father. Over two decades working as a Journeyman lineman. Within these years as a lineman I have worked to bring safety practices not only to my fellow trades people in the United States but also to countries n South Asia & South America where safety regulations are virtually none existent. Also within these years I have worked as an apprentices trainer & lineman trainer. My trade has given me a unique view & way that I approach the world in all aspects of my life. As a career athlete in skiing, snowboarding & skateboarding was searching for something new & that brought me to Jiu Jitsu in my early 40's to challenge myself to train my body in new Nays. Since finding Jiu Jitsu I have dedicated myself to the real world defensive tactics that I feel are required in everyday life from civilian to operator. I am a Muay Thai practitioner & committed to the discipline required to operate all firearms. I believe that we all need continuous practice to be proficient at whatever it is we choose to pursue in life. With this as my base I have worked to develop programs for all levels of individuals that want to achieve that 1% improvement everyday, grow to be confident in themselves & a protector their loved ones.
