THE NEW DEFENDER

From First Shot to Confident Protector.

Three programs. One structured path.

The New Defender is designed for new and developing firearm owners who don’t want to simply learn how to shoot or obtain a Michigan CPL.

They want to become more capable.

You’ll progress through three stages of development:

01 — BUILD YOUR FOUNDATION

Start with the fundamentals in a small, instructor-led environment.

You’ll receive:

  • 22LR firearm training

  • Targets
  • 1–1.5 hours of instructor-led range time
  • Maximum 2 students per time slot

03 — BECOME A DEFENDER

Defender Academy

THE BROOKS DEFENSE DIFFERENCE

We don’t believe a firearm is the answer to every problem.

We believe you need a toolbox.

Recognize. Avoid. De-escalate. Respond. Recover.

The New Defender begins building that toolbox from the ground up.

Prepare with Purpose. Defend with Confidence.
