United Defense Tactical (UDT) boasts many outstanding attributes, but the one that stands out most is their proprietary reality-based training curriculum. UDT’s cutting-edge, ultra-realistic self-defense training courses provide students with all of the self-defense skills required to survive a potentially deadly encounter. From violent attacks to home invasions, UDT prepares students to be their own protector as law enforcement cannot always stop a violent crime before it happens. Unlike traditional static range training where the goal is to try to accurately put a hole in a paper target under no threat or pressure, UDT’s hard-hitting curriculum is ongoing and progressive, allowing participants to maintain proficiency and continually increase their fundamental skills while being immersed in realistic training environments. Similar to a gym membership, UDT adamantly believes it is essential to have a committed self-defense training regimen in order to always be prepared and achieve your goals. UDT empowers its members through intense mental, physical, and emotional strength conditioning, greatly enhancing their ability to survive a real-world worst case scenario. UDT’s ultimate goal is to transform potential victims into ‘dynamic thinking’ survivors. With state-of-the-art firearms simulator training, complimented by high impact, non-static, live fire tactical training exercises, UDT provides a first rate, one-of-a-kind product second to none. All in all, UDT offers the most comprehensive training package on the American market, and there’s never been a better, more crucial time to get in on the action.
Skyrocketing violent crime and murder rates, endless mass shootings, riots, fanatical political extremism, and acts of foreign and domestic terrorism over the past two decades have turned the American landscape into a conflict zone. The ‘good ole days’ of confidently attending the theater, mall, school, or local festival in your community without the underlying fear of encountering a life-threatening situation have sadly become a thing of the past. At no other time in our modern history have so many Americans felt so insecure about their personal safety and the overall prosperity of their communities. This indisputable truth has become evident over the past several years with the unprecedented rise, and colossal nationwide demand, for private self-defense instruction. Since Covid, few industries, if any, have enjoyed the exponential growth and mania-level social popularity of the tactical firearms purchase and training industry. In every conceivable form, ‘self-reliance’ is the new age American mindset, with safety and personal security exceedingly topping the list. The collective American desire to be one’s own “first responder” has reached an overwhelming fever pitch, with more and more private citizens striving to become proficient in self-defense.
United Defense Tactical founder and CEO, Wes Fox, is a visionary innovator with a singular long range mission concept: Provide the highest quality firearms and self-defense education and training available on the open market, on a nationally brand-recognized scale. As a expert weapons, tactics, and combat instructor with world class expertise in numerous martial arts and firearms disciplines, the intensely committed UDT team leader believes that everyone has the inherent right of defensive self-preservation for themselves and their families. Because of this, he is now making UDT’s unparalleled reality-based training available to the masses.
