Who it is for

Not for new shooters. On purpose.

Many people are satisfied going to the range once a month and shooting through a box of ammo. But not you.

Members already handle a firearm safely, draw from the holster, clear malfunctions and move with their gun. That is what lets every Saturday start at a higher level.

Newer to shooting? Build the foundation in private training first. It is the fastest way to the qualification standard.

Step one

Start with the qualification

The qualification test is $250. Pass it and your first Combat Club class is on us. Decide to join after that class and the full $250 credits toward your first membership payment. If you’re in, the test costs you nothing.

  1. Pay for the qualification

    Use the button on this page. Checkout is secure, through Stripe.

  2. Pick your Saturday

    Once you purchase the qual, you get an email to schedule it.

  3. Qualify at 7 AM

    Quals run every Saturday at 7 AM, right before Combat Club. Bring the gear listed below.

  4. Train at 8 AM

    Pass, and your first class is on us. Join after that class and your $250 goes toward membership.

Do not pass on the day? You get one free retake.

Ron and the Tactical Fitness crew are awesome. Incredibly helpful with choosing what kind of experience/training is right for you, skilled instruction and very patient with all of it, even when you are making mistakes constantly with something new! Just be prepared for burpees if you mess up too many times (jk). They also offer a huge range of courses and training from beginner to very advanced across a variety of platforms. I will continue training with them and if you are looking for tactical training in the Austin area definitely check them out. Great business and great people.
