Organization
CDI focuses on the most effective and efficient lawful defense practices. As a part of our defensive awareness training, we strive to excel in close quarters pistol craft - utilizing the best in range based Course of Fire [CoF] scenarios.
With extensive experience in all aspects of firearms training, CDI incorporates multiple types of training into its core defensive philosophy. We will teach you how to defend yourself using tools that that complement your small arms experience.
CDI instructors are high-speed, low drag shooters who are committed to maximizing your defensive skill set. These team instructors are focused on the very best in pistol-craft, tactical defensive training, and critical protection applications.
CDI instructors and members have years of experience building, customizing, and servicing their firearms. Whether you are looking to discover the secrets of tuning a optic, looking to build the best tack-driving rifle, or simply want to know the best practices for servicing your handgun, we can help.
Excellence in tactical defense starts with the basics. CDI builds its members skills from the ground up - focusing on the fundamentals - then expanding on the core building blocks to develop the best weapon and shooting techniques.
You never know what defensive situation you or those around you may be placed in. CDI teaches you not only the basics, but advanced personal defense. More importantly we teach you how and when it is legal and necessary to use them. Legal self defense, threat avoidance, and non-lethal resolution are are all standard practice.
At the core of CDI philosophy is the understanding that a gun is not always the best defensive tool. Force-on-force, weapon retention, disarmament, and edge-weapon training are all critical to our defensive initiative. CDI teaches more than pulling the trigger, it teaches you how to defend yourself.
Whether you are a seasoned LEO, an ex-military member looking to transition your training to personal defense, an IDPA shooter, or a dynamic individual looking for the best in lawful defense practices - CDI offers a training environment that can maximize your skills and eliminate the BS typical in other shooting groups.
CDI members are not just weekenders. We are constantly engaged in our own training, learning, and discovery processes. We constantly review the latest in gear, defensive techniques, and legal defensive considerations. We are always evaluating the best in personal defense.
CDI focuses on the individual, the group, and the team. All defensive scenarios are fluid, unique, and dynamic. We understand this. Our training covers everything from individual personal defense to large group scenarios. We cover the large picture down to the smallest detail.

CDI Mission
CDI is a private, non-political, membership training group operating in partnership with local firing ranges and training facilities. It is an organization of individuals who believe in the right to lawfully protect oneself and the innocent from harm. We understand that through proper training, diligent practice, and careful instruction, we can be prepared for the appropriate and lawful use of personal defense should the need arise.
CDI is focused on the education, training, practice and assessment of lawful self defense skills. These skills will be taught and evaluated by learned instructors, under the safety supervision of qualified Range Officers within the group of other qualified and engaged members.
Members must meet eligibility requirements to join and must meet yearly performance and organizational requirements to maintain membership. The goal of CDI is to create an environment for advanced defensive training. This environment may not be suited to all individuals. While every effort is made to be inclusive to all people, the stated goals of the organization are to move beyond basic target shooting and range activities to include more advanced personal defensive techniques. This will require commitment on the part of members with regard to attendance, participation, execution, and practice.
