About Team Grizzly

Team Grizzly Firearms Training, located in Harford County, Maryland, specializes in providing high-quality defensive firearms training designed to empower individuals with the skills and confidence they need to protect themselves and their loved ones. We believe that every training session should have a clear purpose, and every technique we teach is rooted in practicality and real-world application. Our goal is to prepare our students for the complexities of defensive situations by focusing on tactics that work seamlessly under pressure, where every second counts.

At the core of our training philosophy is the understanding of natural human reactions to stress and danger. Instead of trying to fight these instincts, we leverage them, crafting techniques that are intuitive and efficient in high-stress scenarios. This approach ensures that our students develop muscle memory and tactical awareness that allow them to respond quickly and effectively to potential threats. Whether it’s teaching proper grip, stance, or decision-making under duress, every aspect of our training is designed to help students stop a threat decisively while maintaining safety and control.

Team Grizzly Firearms Training is committed to transforming individuals from non-shooters or recreational shooters into skilled defensive shooters. Our experienced instructors provide a supportive and structured environment where students of all experience levels can thrive. We focus on building confidence through hands-on instruction and realistic scenarios, equipping our students with both the technical skills and mental fortitude required for defensive shooting. At Team Grizzly, we don’t just teach firearms handling – we prepare our students to protect what matters most.
