Train like your life depends on it, because it does!”

Our Behavior Compliant Firearms Training, Behavior Compliant Close Quarters Battle BC/CQB, Integrated Survival Combatives (ISC) and Krav Maga along with our other course offerings teach critical life-saving skills that work in the real-world. There is so much more to a gunfight or a street fight than just Hard Skills. You will learn Soft Skills like mindset, threat detection and how to improve your critical thinking and judgement based on Empirically Researched and Scientifically Validated methods. You will also learn tested and proven Hard Skills that improve your performance, broaden your skill set and increase your survivability in a life or death struggle.

Our Instructor Cadre is made up of current and former highly trained, certified professional police instructors with extensive experience from Federal, State and Local agencies with most being former Federal Agents from the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). As Instructors, our goal is to help you perform your best and become a better, faster and more confident Operator, Officer or Citizen Protector.

“Research shows that a competent and confident operator is safer and makes better decisions under pressure.”

Performance Based

Our focus is to help you move forward in your current skillset and performance. Our methods will make you better, faster, smarter and safer immediately. We are mission driven and results oriented.

We collect realtime data on the range to establish and then push your baseline firearms and weapon skills forward. This helps you identify and understand your real-world Performance-On-Demand abilities.

On the mats we focus on the principles and concepts that help you master the fundamentals of hand-to-hand combat and self-defense. Just learning a bunch of techniques does little to improve your personal defense skills. You must understand the underlying principles of how and when to apply them to be an effective protector.

Training for the Next Level

Whether you are a seasoned Operator, Patrol Officer, or an Armed Citizen, our firearms, tactical and combative courses will help you move to the next level in your personal performance. This not only includes knowing what to do, but when and how to do it the most effective way. Our Krav Maga and Combatives courses teach battle tested and proven skills that work when it is all on the line.

“Research shows that static shooting does not prepare you for a deadly force encounter.”

Law Enforcement Focused and Mission Driven

Training law enforcement is our calling, our passion and our primary mission. We train individual officers, full teams and entire agencies on the most up-to-date scientifically researched and validated methods available in Firearms, Behavioral Compliant CQB, Integrated Survival Combatives, Krav Maga and Mindset. As a law enforcement officer, you and your agency have a corresponding responsibility to make sure you are properly trained and prepared for the fight. Depending solely on your agency for “all” of your training needs may meet the minimum requirements but may also leave you woefully unprepared for a true battle. We have special discounts and programs for law enforcement and military members who self-pay for our training. We can provide group rates and other discounts for public agencies on a budget to include free training slots for the host agency.

We also provide many of our training programs to the military and law-abiding citizens. Additionally, we offer private lessons on a private range, in a private training center with mats and other courses and seminars such as Active Shooter Response, Stop the Bleed, Home Defense CQB, Women’s Self-Defense, Mindset and Personal Safety.

Free Training Opportunities

Your agency can receive free training slots (conditions apply) when you host any Reticent Warrior Tactics course. Contact us today to learn how and get on the training schedule with our mobile unit. Additionally, if you use what we teach in a deadly force encounter and end up in court, we will gladly testify on your behalf and provide supporting documentation for what we teach. That is how strongly we believe in what we do and you can too!

What our clients and students are saying…

If your are looking for a course that will leave you knowing you are completely confident and prepared mentally, physically and spiritually to take the fight to the enemy, then this is the training group for you. This is NOT a class that tries to show you who has the biggest stick. It IS a class that makes you get comfortable in uncomfortable positions and learn different ways to win the fight. .. I went in with 10 years Law Enforcement and 9 of SWAT and definitely walked away with more confidence and knowledge. Vann is a very humble leader with a heart for helping us stay safe…. and he has the training and plenty of experience to back it up. Thank you RWT and all of your instructors.

Jimmy Pearce - Mississippi Police Officer and SWAT Operator


Vann is by far the best instructor I ever worked with. I really enjoyed the training and like how he squares me away on my bad habits.

Sal Mulgrav - Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC) Instructor


“Thanks to Vann and his team, we are more than prepared to respond to an Active Shooter situation based on his comprehensive approach on how to react if the situation presents itself. Vann’s intuition, tact and forward thinking is why I am proud of how our team performed during his seminar!”

Leo Luistro/General Manager - Savannah Yacht Club


The additional training I received from Vann was excellent. His teaching has helped all officers/agents improve and advance in their skillsets. The training received was not just based on tactics, but also on individual leadership roles, safety for officers, agents, civilians and legal aspects.

Otilio Rivera - SWAT Operator/Drug Agent, Savannah, Georgia


“Vann knows firearms inside and out as well as how to use them in every situation imaginable. As soon as we got to the range, he quickly spotted some issues I had in both my safety practice and handling of my handgun. I appreciated his attention to safety and within a short time he had me shooting much better than when we started. He took care to understand my habits and quickly helped me to correct them so I could handle the weapon with a much higher degree of accuracy. I would recommend Vann's training for anyone, regardless of their level of expertise with a firearm.”

Mitch Miller/Concealed Carrier, Tennessee


"Over the course of my career I have dealt with many Firearms Instructors and training courses. I can say without hesitation that Vann Winn easily ranks among the best. Whether you are a novice or a seasoned veteran Vann customizes the training to improve your skills. His "baseline" approach allows him to conform the training to meet your needs, from establishing the fundamentals to refining more advanced skill levels. 

I highly recommend Vann for any level of shooter wanting to get better."

Scott Smith - Defense Contractor (Foreign deployed)


I would first like to thank you for the opportunity to learn and progress as an operator and deputy. Thank you for the patience and words of wisdom. Everything you brought to this course was helpful, useful, educational, and drove home a desire to be better. 

With that being said, this was an extremely humbling experience. I never thought I was the greatest marksman or rifleman, but this course definitely put into perspective where I am and where I want to be. Not only did it teach me what little changes I can make to become faster and more accurate, it gave me the passion back to be better that I had forgotten I had for what I do.

I plan on taking everything I learned and incorporating it into every training evolution I can. Not only did it make me better, it made me want to be better.

Thank you again for everything,

Doyle Moran - Hancock County Sheriff's Office 


Vann,

I really appreciate the excellent training your team provided for both myself, and our department as a team…. Your training provided not only the necessary time with rounds going down range, but it also helped me learn all new, contemporary tactics involved with close quarters battle, something more applicable to modern police work.

I highly, highly recommend this training for anyone in law enforcement or an occupational position where the skills could potentially be needed.  I look forward to taking the advanced course.

 Sincerely,

 Police Officer Jim Hicks


Mr. Winn,

I thoroughly enjoyed the 2 day Fundamentals of Tactical Rifle and Vehicle Dynamics course. The training gave me more confidence with handling a rifle than I have ever had. I look forward to participating in the advanced class at some time in the future. You and your other instructors made the experience enjoyable as well as extremely informative. I would recommend this course to anyone who is not confident in the handling of their rifle or anyone who just needs to tune up their skills!

Be safe,

Officer Sarah-Jane Rowley - Bay St. Louis Police Department


As a Chief of Police, I’d like to commend Reticent Warrior Tactics for the training they provided law enforcement officers on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Not to mention the experience level and professionalism that is above standard and shared with the students by Vann Winn and the RWT Staff Instructors. Their training curriculum and methods were modernized and practical for Patrol Officer and Advanced Tactical Operators. Their training classes improved Officers’ weapons handling, utilization of situational shooting platforms encountered on duty, increased their speed of target acquisition and enhanced their overall knowledge of the carbine rifle and it’s capabilities in arduous situations. I highly recommend Reticent Warrior Tactics for municipal, state and federal law enforcement training purposes.

Chief J. Toby Schwartz - Bay St. Louis MS Police Department
