The Guardian Conference is back September 18 through 20 in Oklahoma City, and this year's instructor lineup might be the strongest we have ever put on one range.
These are people who have spent their lives in this work: cops, combat medics, competition champions, trial lawyers, and full-time trainers. There is no way to fit all of their bios into one email, so head to the homepage to read them in full. Below is the short version of why each one is worth your weekend.
