Lead Instructor

The person
behind the rifle.

Realistic training is not a slogan. It is the result of one instructor with real operational background, two structured tracks (civilian and professional), and a refusal to teach things that do not survive contact.

Operator first.
Instructor by design.

Training is led by a former military operator with Special Forces background and 15+ years of operational experience worldwide. The training portfolio covers civilians, law enforcement and vetted professional groups — with a clear focus on safe, scenario-based development of real-world shooting skills.

Approach

HRT does not chase "tactical content". It teaches what works after contact: structured fundamentals, scenario-based drills, individual corrections, and clear progression. The standard is not how the instructor looks running a drill — it is how the participant performs six months later, in their own gear, on their own range.

Every course is delivered in small groups (4–8) with hard caps. Every participant gets video review and individual feedback. Every course finishes with a written next-step recommendation — not a marketing email.

Specializations

  • CQB — civilian and LE translations of close-quarters work.
  • Low-Light — handheld + WML, identification, blinding, movement.
  • Dynamic Pistol — movement, decisions, time pressure.
  • Self-Defence — civilian mindset and home defence systems.
  • Tactical Decision-Making — shoot/no-shoot under load.
  • Train-the-Trainer — instructor development for LE units.

Philosophy

"Safety is not a phase of training. It is the foundation of every drill, in every course, every day."

Realistic does not mean reckless. The standard at HRT is that every drill must be safe enough to be repeated by every participant, in every group, every time. Skills that cannot be performed safely under stress do not enter the syllabus — regardless of how good they look in a video.
