Gun Training to Perfection

admin — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 23:32:33 +0000

“Sherlock Holmes” was an intense movie. I was incredibly impressed by many things in the movie, one thing being how observant Sherlock Holmes was. He could walk into a room and notice every tiny detail, no matter how minor it may have seemed. And those “minor” details usually gave away information that enabled him to solve mysteries and save the day. Wouldn’t it be a dream come true to be able to be like Sherlock Holmes? The exciting news is that now we all can be.

Four Weapons Combat Master, Dr. Ignatius Piazza, has designed a program that teaches us how to be as observant as we want to be. It is called the Color Code of Mental Awareness, and is included in the self defense training courses and gun training courses at his gun training school, Front Sight Firearms Training Institute. Ignatius Piazza’s Color Code of Mental Awareness trains the eyes and the mind to become physically and mentally aware of EVERYTHING that is going on. But how can this benefit me if I am not trying to solve mysteries?

Well, let me ask you this. Would it benefit you to have extra reaction time in the event of a dangerous situation? Would it benefit you to have a leg up on an attacker? Would it benefit the people around you if you were more likely to be able to defend them from the bad guys? Would it benefit your family if your chances of survival were increased? If you were able to PREDICT an attack, do you think this would be beneficial to you?

In an attack situation, every second counts. Every FRACTION of a second counts. If you can be so aware of your surroundings that you are able to buy yourself an extra several seconds of reaction time, your chances of escape are greatly increased. Ignatius Piazza will teach you how to obtain this for yourself. His Color Code of Mental Awareness buys people time. Many students that have attended Ignatius Piazza’s gun training courses at Front Sight and participated in this stimulating mental awareness course have reported that they knew an attack was coming BEFORE IT EVEN HAPPENED, thus giving them more time to respond to each situation and increasing positive results.

Other gun training schools may teach you how to shoot a gun, how to hold a gun and how to use a gun for self defense. But how many of them teach this Color Code of Mental Awareness? None! Front Sight teaches all of the things that you need to know about using a gun, plus how to be impressively aware of the surrounding environment. Knowing how to use a gun on a moment’s notice is great. Knowing how to use a gun on a moment’s notice and having extra time to ensure the perfection of the operation is even better. Ignatius Piazza’s gun training courses at Front Sight can and will provide you with everything you need to secure yourself the option of this absolute perfection.

Front Sight’s Family Safe Forever

I want my entire family to be safe. Does this sound like something you would say? If so, there are a couple ways you can go about making sure your family is protected. The first is to get trained in how to offer family protection, through avenues such as self defense training and gun training. When you are adequately trained in these areas, you can thoroughly protect your family if a dangerous situation arises. However, what about those times that you are not there? You may be at work. You may be out of town. Heck, you may have just happened to step in the shower at the moment a strange person enters your house… and you may not hear the commotion. Every member of your family needs to be able to protect himself or herself in times like this. Fact is, you can’t always be there right behind your spouse and each of your kids all at the same time. There is not anything wrong with this idea; it is just a fact of life. It would be odd if husband, wife and kids all walked around together, all day, every day and had no lives of their own. It just wouldn’t happen. So, let’s get our kids prepared to protect themselves so they can be safe always.

Four Weapons Combat Master, Dr. Ignatius Piazza directs a gun training school in Nevada called Front Sight Firearms Training Institute. It is the world’s unrivaled leader in the gun training industry, offering the best quality gun training, knife training and self defense training you can find. No other gun training school in the world even comes close to the caliber of Front Sight. The instructors at Front Sight are top notch. Front Sight’s curriculum is intense and thorough, teaching every detail about gun handling. And, the environment at Front Sight is comfortable, relaxing and fun, making students actually want to be there.

Ignatius Piazza knows what it is like to want his entire family to be safe. At Front Sight, Ignatius Piazza offers a program called Family Safe Forever, which focuses on the safety of the entire family, not just teaching you how to protect them yourself. Ignatius Piazza has created a child safety training course for kids age five to ten and a youth safety training course for kids eleven to fifteen. In these courses, children and youth learn many ways of how to avoid dangerous situations and how to escape from these situations if they could not be prevented. Students grow in physical and emotional strength, become more confident in themselves and their abilities and get to have fun doing it.

Once a teenager is sixteen, he or she can participate in Ignatius Piazza’s Edged Weapons Training Course and learn how to use a knife for self defense. Many places that do not allow guns actually allow knives, so it is a smart idea to be trained to use both tools. Also, this Front Sight course is crucial for teens, because knives are easier for teens to gain possession of. A teen gang member is likely to be carrying a knife as his weapon of choice, mainly because of the convenience. This incredible course will even teach students how to ward off multiple attackers by using a single knife.

For adults and teens age thirteen and up, Front Sight has an Empty Hands Self Defense Course which teaches students all the effective techniques of how to confront and respond to any attack when using a gun or a knife for self defense is not an option. Students learn how to control a situation, rather than let a situation control them.

Keeping your family safe is likely extremely important to you. Being a husband and a father, it is important to Ignatius Piazza, as well. At Front Sight, you will find the best courses available for your family, so you don’t have to worry about them when you are not there!

Get it All With Front Sight

What would you do if a drive by shooting ripped through your neighborhood? Are you prepared to respond? Can you protect yourself? Can you protect your family? In 1988, Dr. Ignatius Piazza had to answer these questions. And, like many Americans, he had to say he was not ready. Ignatius Piazza was a family man, a chiropractor and a normal, law abiding citizen. He worked hard at his business and always strove to be the best, but there was one area that was lacking and he wasn’t even aware of it until that car sped down his street, spitting bullets in every direction. He knew how to shoot a gun pretty well, but he was not prepared to use one to save someone’s life. Many of us share this quality. We have shot guns before. Maybe we have gone to a shooting range. Maybe we have gone to the desert with our friends and shot clay pigeons and empty cans. But how many of us know how to use that gun to save a life?

On that fateful night, Dr. Ignatius Piazza made a decision that would not only change his life forever, but would undoubtedly change the lives of millions of people around the world. Day in and day out, he searched for and found gun training from the top gun training schools in the country. But he always had to keep looking for new gun training schools because each one only excelled in one or two areas. He wanted to find a place that would excel in all areas of the gun world. Ignatius Piazza figured that if he was on a quest for this kind of gun training, there must have been more people out there like him. His new idea was to make the search easier for other people, and give them a place that provides the best gun training of every kind, all in one place.

Thus, Front Sight Firearms Training Institute was born, but not before Ignatius Piazza trained hard enough to become a Four Weapons Combat Master. He knew that only the best could give the best. He could not be only okay at shooting if he wanted to provide the best gun training in the world. So, Ignatius Piazza worked diligently at becoming the best, and now he stands the second man in the world to receive a Four Weapons Combat Master Certificate.

Front Sight opened its doors in 1996 and today it is known as the unsurpassed leader in the gun training world, thanks to the severe dedication of one man, Dr. Ignatius Piazza, and the passion of his team of employees. At Front Sight, students from all over the world receive gun training from the world’s best gun training instructors and obtain valuable information from some of the most intelligent, educated and experienced employees you can find.

You will be pleased to find that no matter where you stand today with your gun training, in one short weekend with Ignatius Piazza, your gun training skills can be better than anyone you know. You don’t have to attend one gun training school after another to get trained in all the areas of gun training anymore. It can all be found at Front Sight Firearms Training Institute.

Ignatius Piazza made the decision back in 1988 to REALLY learn how to use a gun. He already knew how to shoot, but he wanted to learn how to use a gun to protect and even save a life. His search for gun training schools was long and difficult and he noticed that some gun training schools excelled in one area, while others were superior in another.

Gun Training and Gun Control

admin — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 09:15:29 +0000

In the debate of gun control, there are two very different sides. One side supports the idea of gun control, while the other side firmly believes in the Second Amendment, which guarantees law abiding citizens the right to keep and bear arms. Unfortunately, it really seems that the two sides have trouble seeing the other.

Many people are gun control advocates because they just do not understand the concept that proper gun training increases safety. Some people support gun control because they have been a victim or know a victim of a gun crime, so they view guns as unsafe. Still, others think that gun control is the way to go because “guns are unnecessary.” The fact of the matter is, is that several gun control supporters have taken a gun training course at Front Sight Firearms Training Institute with Four Weapons Combat Master, Dr. Ignatius Piazza, and they left supporting the Second Amendment. Why?

First, they learned that guns do not have to be unsafe. Yes, a gun is unsafe if the person holding it does not know how to properly handle it. This is when accidents happen and people get hurt. Gun training, especially the quality of gun training provided from Ignatius Piazza at Front Sight, changes this. Ignatius Piazza’s gun training program teaches everything someone needs to know in order to increase the safety level. It has been named the best place in the world to receive gun training; the unsurpassed leader in the firearms training industry. There are many important things that most people do not know about handling a gun, and Ignatius Piazza will provide all of that information in an interesting, easy to understand and fun manner.

People that think guns are unnecessary are forgetting the fact that criminals are going to have guns. If guns are outlawed, a criminal is still going to keep a gun. Think about it. Would a rapist, bank robber, burglar or murderer submit to gun control and give in his or her gun because guns are all of a sudden illegal? People need to know how to use guns for self defense. Front Sight will teach you how disarm an attacker and how to handle that gun safely. Even if you choose to not practice your Second Amendment rights and you choose to not own a gun, you should still get gun training to know how to handle one in the case of an attack. When choosing who to attack, criminals do not discriminate against gun control supporters and people who do not carry. In fact, if they know you do not like guns or do not have one on you, you are considered an “easier target” and are therefore more likely to be chosen as prey. It is so important that you know how to handle this and escape from the situation.

Whether or not you choose to support the Second Amendment, it is still crucial that you know how to defend yourself and use a gun if the situation calls for it. Front Sight Firearms Training Institute provides gun training to gun control supporters and Second Amendment supporters alike, because no matter where a person stands on the scale, that person still deserves to be safe.

Front Sight- Use a Gun to Save a Life

admin — Sun, 29 Aug 2010 12:25:26 +0000

There are many people out there that claim over and over again that guns are dangerous. This is an incomplete statement. Guns in UNTRAINED HANDS are dangerous. If someone does not know how to safely handle a gun, using it- or even holding it- can pose a danger to that person and the surrounding individuals. Say Joe has not had gun training and he picks up a gun. Since Joe has not been trained in how to properly hold and operate the gun, he will not know the little nuances that could greatly affect his next few seconds. He will not know how- and when- to rest his finger on the trigger. He will not know the safest hand position. He will not know exactly where to aim and how firmly to hold the gun. Joe’s next several seconds, and possibly the rest of his life, depend on his ability to handle his weapon. If Joe had received some good gun training, like the gun training offered by Dr. Ignatius Piazza at Front Sight Firearms Training Institute, his next moments could be very successful and provide him with an extreme sense of safety.

Front Sight’s gun training program teaches students everything they need to know about gun safety and how to properly use a gun for self defense. Ignatius Piazza, a Four Weapons Combat Master, has designed this program to be the most effective gun training program available to people today. For fourteen years, Front Sight has offered top quality gun training and has grown to be the number one firearms training school in the world. Front Sight is definitely the place to go to learn how to be safe with a gun.

Students of Front Sight have their choice between a number of gun training courses such as shotgun training, rifle training, handgun training, automatic weapons training, night gun training, CCW Permit training, gun training for women and gun training for teens, to name a few. Each course at Front Sight teaches students everything from very basic gun safety to the special techniques that will make their shooting quicker and more accurate. Ignatius Piazza leaves nothing out of his gun training program, and students love him for it.

In addition, Ignatius Piazza created Front Sight for people who not only want to learn how to handle a gun, but want to learn how to use a gun in the real world, in real situations and for a positive result, such as defending one’s own life or the lives of loved ones. Gun training at most schools will teach students how to shoot a gun just fine. In fact, until 1988, Ignatius Piazza himself knew how to shoot a gun pretty well and could safely handle one, but when the opportunity presented itself for him to use one to protect his life and the lives of his family members, he realized that he didn’t actually have that option, because he simply didn’t know how. As a result, Front Sight’s gun training program trains students how to respond to situations like the one he faced that night. After one gun training course at Front Sight, a student will know how to safely hold and handle a gun. That student will know how to hit the bullseye of a target at the shooting range. That student will know how to shoot quickly and accurately. And that student will know how to defend his own life and the lives of his loved ones, even in the most dangerous of situations.

Front Sight Makes Responsibility Fun

admin — Sat, 28 Aug 2010 10:33:22 +0000

There are things that you really want to do because they are fun… things like going on a vacation, seeing an exciting movie or having a get together with your friends. Then, there are things that you SHOULD do. These are things that you do just because you should do them, not necessarily because you want to. I am sure you are well familiar with this list of tasks, including going to work, paying bills and cleaning the bathroom. What if I were to tell you that there is something that you really should do, because it is good for yourself and good for the people around you, AND it is something that you want to do because it is a total blast? I’m talking about attending a self defense training course or a gun training course from Dr. Ignatius Piazza at Front Sight Firearms Training Institute.

Why should I take a gun training course? There are tons of reasons why people should learn how to use a gun for self defense. First, most criminals carry guns. If someone points a gun at you, do you want to know how to respond? Gun Training from Ignatius Piazza at Front Sight will teach you how to respond to an attack even if you are not armed yourself. Ignatius Piazza teaches how to disarm an attacker and then use his or her gun to protect yourself.

Break ins and home invasions happen in even the safest of neighborhoods. If someone breaks into your house and grabs your daughter or wife, holding a gun to her head, would you like to have to run across the room, jumping over coffee tables and couches, before the bullet pierces her skull? Having a gun and knowing how to use it will buy you time, and possibly, your loved one’s life. Ignatius Piazza will teach you how to use your gun safely and effectively.

Say you figure out on your own how to disarm your opponent. Great! Now what do you do with the gun? Guns in untrained hands are dangerous weapons. Guns in the hands of someone who is trained can offer safety and protection in a time when they are needed most.

Front Sight Firearms Training Institute will provide you with the gun training that you need to keep yourself and your family safe. With Front Sight being the unsurpassed leader in the firearms training industry, Ignatius Piazza and his team of gun training instructors offer the best gun training you can possibly receive.

We have got so many reasons why we chose Front Sight as our date of choice. A dinner date is always nice, but what is a few hours when you can get away for the whole weekend?

So, not only do Front Sight students receive the best gun training in the world, they get to actually have fun doing it. Front Sight instructors keep students captivated the entire weekend, feeding them crucial and interesting information about gun safety and gun training.

How’s that for an anniversary present?

Also, the location of Front Sight is just plain awesome. It is located in gorgeous Pahrump, Nevada, which is a beautiful mix of mountain views and massive deserts, making for some seriously extravagant scenery. Being so close to Las Vegas, students of Front Sight have their choice of nighttime adventures. They can either take in the sights of Pahrump, visiting local restaurants and quaint shops, or they can party it up on the strip with the city that never sleeps. Front Sight’s location makes it a perfect place for anyone.

Front Sight is such an educational and life changing experience, and it is exciting! Getting gun training from one of the best shooters in the world is like getting basketball training from Shaq or football training from Joe Montana. If you ever look at other people who travel the world, climb mountains, bike ride across the country and wish you could do something as cool as they have done, now is your chance! And the most perfect way to do it is with the person you love, so you can have the experience together.

The next time someone asks you what you and your significant other are doing for your anniversary, you can be like me and say, “We are going to a gun training course at Front Sight.”

Front Sight: Get More Out Of Life

admin — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 14:07:30 +0000

For the law abiding citizens that want more out of life, Front Sight Firearms Training Institute is there to help. Front Sight will help citizens from all over the globe secure themselves more confidence and the serenity that comes with the comfort of skill at arms. Average, everyday ordinary people have the ability to become extraordinary, life saving powerhouses, and Front Sight will provide all of the information needed to achieve such greatness. Dr. Ignatius Piazza, the founder and director of Front Sight Firearms Training Institute planned out his self defense gun training program carefully to ensure his students that they are receiving the best quality gun training available. Lectures, demonstrations and hands on gun training combine together at Front Sight to create a brilliant blend that helps students learn and retain the most information possible. Ignatius Piazza brings balance to the shooting range, by including everything in Front Sight’s training, not just the main ideas. So what information is included in a Front Sight gun training course? Let me put it this way: if you have ever had a question about guns, gun safety or gun training of any kind, you can find your answers at Front Sight.

Ignatius Piazza provides COMPLETE gun training. He is not just going to show students how to shoot, like the instructors do at most other gun training schools. Front Sight is different. Front Sight instructors teach how to shoot, when to shoot, when NOT to shoot, why to shoot, where to shoot, what to do before and after you shoot and even how to avoid having to shoot. Literally, everything is covered at Front Sight. Front Sight’s curriculum focuses on safety, making even first time shooters completely comfortable with their weapons.

Tactical gun training at Front Sight goes beyond target shooting practice. Front Sight instructors arrange safe and supervised real life scenarios, that allow students to have the chance to feel what it would be like to be attacked on the street or in their homes. This trains students better than just telling them how to handle each situation. If an attack were to happen in their lives, having been through the motions before, Front Sight students are better prepared to escape. In these hands on training sessions, students not only learn how to handle their weapons, but they learn how to disarm an attacker, how to use their own bodies as self defense weapons, how to shoot and hit a moving target and how to handle multiple attackers at once. Front Sight students are better prepared for the real world than students of other gun training schools.

Front Sight helps students get more out of life. No longer will they live in fear or be paranoid that they are going to get attacked. Men will not have to fear for their families. Women will feel comfortable walking to their cars alone, even late at night. Teens will grow up more confident, less likely to fall to peer pressure and be able to protect themselves and their soon to be families. When the fear, worry and stress can be left in the past, life can become a beautiful and fulfilling thing.

Get the Best Benefit From Your Gun Training at Front Sight

admin — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 06:10:26 +0000

For fourteen years, Front Sight Firearms Training Institute has provided the best gun training in the world to law abiding citizens of every background. At Front Sight, men, women, teens, the elderly, professionals, the unemployed, and everyone in between are welcomed and will receive top quality gun training and self defense training. Founder and director, Dr. Ignatius Piazza, created Front Sight to be a welcoming environment – a place where someone can feel comfortable, no matter who they are or what kind of gun training experience they have or do not have. Ignatius Piazza has trained first timers how to handle and use a gun safely, with speed and incredible accuracy. He has taught moderate shooters how to improve their gun handling skills to make their shooting more precise and powerful. He has provided gun training to gun using professionals, like police officers and Army Sergeants, to increase their safety out on the field and give them an extra leg up on the bad guys. Ignatius Piazza has even taught competitive shooters how to hone in on their strengths, correct their weaknesses and perfect their techniques, so they can win as many competitions as they enter.

Front Sight Firearms Training Institute is able to provide such great quality gun training because Ignatius Piazza takes special care in hiring his gun training instructors. Ignatius Piazza is a Four Weapons Combat Master, intensely trained in the area of several different kinds of weapons, and he continues to spend his time and energy training, practicing and learning more. The instructors that are considered for employment at Front Sight are all held to the standards that Ignatius Piazza expects of himself – absolutely nothing less than the best.

After applying at Front Sight, candidates must undergo a gun training course that is created to be highly difficult to pass. This process weeds out the first set of people that do not meet Ignatius Piazza’s standards. Only an extreme amount of skill and determination can get a candidate through this course. After the rest of the selection process is finished, Front Sight gun training instructors are continually required to attend courses in instructor training and customer service, to ensure that they are always teaching the most up to date information and are providing the best quality care for their students. The moment a Front Sight student steps into a class, it is obvious that the instructor in front of them is nothing less than amazing.

Front Sight has gun training courses for everyone. Every instructor at Front Sight provides every student with the attention that they need and deserve, instead of blanketing the class with one “one size fits all” gun training course. Front Sight instructors understand that not everyone has the same strengths and weaknesses, so they are able to personalize each course to each individual student, so the students get the greatest benefit possible from their training.

Being the unsurpassed leader in the gun training world, Front Sight instructors have a lot to live up to. And they do, every single day.
