About

Always a student, sometimes a teacher.

This philosophy is central to the culture at Justified Self Defense, LLC. Our doctrine is rooted in rehearsed, systematic, and practical techniques in gun handling, decision-making, tactics, and fitness. Another cornerstone of our approach is the emphasis on preparation as a key to success. As the saying goes, "criminals don't make appointments." The responsibility falls on law-abiding Americans to embrace ongoing training and preparedness as part of life—and we're here to help.

We strive to inoculate our clients from debilitating fear when faced with interpersonal violence. Through proven techniques and competent instruction, we help clients develop and deploy effective pre-selected responses under stress. Inspired by Col. Jeff Cooper, Gunsite Academy, and Marksmanship Matters, we teach specific skills in a systematic way to ensure safe and effective self-defense. Our founder's law enforcement background also provides clients with valuable insight into minimizing exposure to criminal prosecution and civil liability.

You deserve nothing less than the best instruction and techniques to protect yourself and your loved ones. That's why you need an instructor with relevant, real-world experience. Josh brings an exceptional background: former Marine infantry captain, LAPD gang unit officer, State Police homicide detective, and certified firearms instructor with 15 years of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training. For two decades, Josh has been training responsible Americans while continuously honing his own skills to serve his community as a protector.
