2023 in Closing

As we close out 2023, we would like to thank you for another successful year. Without your attendance and support, we would be unable to do what we love which is sharing our knowledge and equipping others with the ability to be effective defenders and protectors of those they love. From JDR and the crew, once again, we thank you.

2023 was an exciting year. We grew in class offerings and student attendance. As with any successful growth, we made adjustments to some of our existing classes and had the opportunity to develop curriculum for some new classes. One class which will be available in 2024 is Pistol Fundamentals ( https://www.jdrtraining.com/training/p/pistol-fundamentals ). This half day, 4 hour fundamentals class is designed for the brand new shooter or for somebody with some initial exposure to firearms but wants to learn proper gun handling and how to safely shoot a firearm. No prior experience is needed and minimal equipment is required. We have also added Trauma Medical ( https://www.jdrtraining.com/training/p/trauma-medical ). This full day class will prepare you to handle injuries that are an immediate threat to life and will teach you to prevent the worsening of injuries that may contribute to death. Whether you carry a firearm or not, this class is for you! This is not a CPR or basic first aid class. Our two main medical instructors have over 20 years of combined patient care experience and have taught mature individuals as young as nine years old. This class will prepare you to handle massive hemorrhage, basic airway problems, respiratory arrest, wound packing, traumatic chest wounds, and patient extrication. In addition, we are currently working to develop a curriculum for Rifle 1 and 2. Once these become available, we will let you know. As a growing company we are always excited when we are able to develop new relationships. One in particular is with Stronghold SOF Solutions ( https://www.sofs3.com/ ) out of Defuniak Springs, FL. JDR was honored to assist Stronghold with the Special Operators Transition Foundation ( https://sotf.org ) fundraiser earlier this year, and is currently providing role players for Force on Force scenarios to assist training for the Florida State Guard ( https://www.floridastateguard.org/ ).

In closing, we encourage you to check out our updated website ( https://www.jdrtraining.com/ ). It has been redesigned and is now easier to use. We have also developed our training calendar for the first half of the year. We encourage you to check it out and sign up. As alumni if you decide to retake Pistol 1, you may do so at a discount. Please contact us ( https://www.jdrtraining.info@gmailcom ) for your discount code prior to your purchase. We are also currently working on some new merchandise ideas. We hope to be able to share those with you shortly. Thank you for an outstanding year. We look forward to seeing you again in 2024.
