Training & Events

"The more you sweat in training, the less you bleed in battle."

Strength, skill, and knowledge don’t come from hoping—they come from deliberate, disciplined training. Rock City Defense exists to prepare, not react. We train because survival isn’t a guarantee, and we refuse to rely on crumbling institutions to protect us.

We don’t just show up when a crisis happens. We build the physical, mental, and tactical skills necessary to handle threats before they arise.

We don’t provide direct training—but we facilitate access to some of the best opportunities to sharpen your abilities and build a strong, capable community.

What We Organize

  • Firearms Range Days – Hands-on experience with a variety of firearms, from lightweight compact pistols to AR-15s, shotguns, and long-distance rifles. We organize group sessions across indoor ranges, outdoor long-distance shooting, and trap and skeet practice.
  • MMA & Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu – Training with professional fighters and experienced instructors to build real-world self-defense skills.
  • Medical Training – Stop-the-Bleed, street medic training, and first aid certification to ensure we can care for ourselves and each other in emergencies. Our philosophy extends beyond battlefield care—we work toward establishing free medical clinics in our communities.
  • Legal Training – Understanding your rights, self-defense laws, and legal strategies in an era of increasing criminalization.
  • Small Unit Tactics Training – Organizing and moving effectively in a team, emphasizing coordination, communication, and strategy.
  • Strength & Endurance Training – Hikes, trail runs, and physical conditioning to push limits and develop resilience.
  • Climbing Events – Occasional climbing meetups to hone strength, agility, and problem-solving under pressure.

Why We Train

  • Because safety is a shared responsibility.
  • Because no one is coming to save us.
  • Because a prepared community is an unbreakable community.
