About RECON NIGHT TACTICAL DEFENSE

We believe in the power of preparation versus the power of fear.

Our goal is to empower the workforce, students, and educators to lean into everyday tactical techniques through the power of preparation, not the power of fear.

We:

  • Teach individuals methods to unleash fear through the art of preparation and appropriate aggression training

  • Help employees and educators take back control

  • Encourage organizations and schools to incorporate radical belonging as a violence reduction methodology
