PMCI - May 2021

country for many years seeking the best possible experience for a
CCW permit holder. I want to be the best protector as a Husband
and Father of 2, and training must be connected to reality. WOFT
originated because I have three criteria that need to be checked
to invest my valuable time. 1) I must be learning something with
purpose, 2) it must be safe fun, and 3) my Family needs to be
with me.
PMCI: Exactly how large is the WOFT facility, and what does it
encompass?
WOFT: Until recently, we were invite-only. 1st and 2nd rule
of Fight Club. With a background check and a character witness,
one can visit our private 20-acre property and have the potential
to be introduced to an affluent training experience not found in
many other places in the country.
PMCI: What sort of classes do you offer?
WOFT: We are full-service but cater and specialize in Scenario
Safety Training for Civilians. Coming up on our 10th year and only
able to host 2,632 guests annually, few if any of your readers will
have the chance to visit because of return guests selling out each
course we schedule.
PMCI: How big are your typical classes? Instructor ratios, etc?
WOFT: We average a 3 to 1 student to instructor ratio, and
class sizes are typically 20-25 guests. Most of the time, it’s
closer to 2.2 to 1 because many guest instructors flow through
as students. That’s part of the magic that many readers have not
experienced anywhere else.
PMCI: What qualities do you look for in a WOFT instructor?
WOFT: We do not train our guests but mentor them. Are you
constantly learning and upgrading your skills? Are you a team
player and sometimes a teacher but always a student? Family is
everything.
PMCI: How long are your classes? Typical cost per day?
WOFT: Three days. US$1,000/day/guest. The days are
broken up into before lunch and after lunch. 2 training stations/
day. Three days allows us six training stations to learn and apply
concepts.
Catered food, Custom Course Jersey, Ammo, Gear/Equipment,
video, and photographer to help capture the priceless moments
are included.
PMCI: As a former SWAT operator, now husband and father of
two young daughters, I know that traveling to train usually
means a weekend or sometimes even a week away from the
daily routine. Please tell our readers about how WOFT offers a full
family dynamic.
WOFT: Your Family is welcome and encouraged to visit and
practice safety concepts with you. With a high instructor-tostudent
ratio, we can cater to a family of 4 like yourself based
on your priorities. It’s an entirely customized experience to keep
the Family together in certain stations and “divide and conquer”
learning safety concepts throttled to each guest’s ability and body
type. Hard to convey and, just like the Matrix, something you
must see for yourself.
PMCI: At the end of the day, what is the key aspect you and
your instructors wish to have students take away from their WOFT
experience?
WOFT: Students take away to Avoid Conflict at all Cost. Start
the path to be the best version of yourself for your Family.
Your Goal should be Excellence, not perfection. No one is perfect,
yet everyone can be better.
