After seven years in business, On Guard Defense is closing its doors (and range) effective June 11, 2024. We are no longer accepting appointments as we are completely booked through our closing date. We do still have spots remaining in the following courses: Defensive Rifle 3, Lady Warrior Boot Camp, and Lady Warrior Weekend 2. You can register to attend by following the course links below. We would like to thank all of our clients who have patronized our business over the years. Be safe and be blessed!
Trying to decide where you should get defensive firearms training can sometimes be tough. Most folks, whether just starting their firearms journey or are somewhere along the way, want a training partner they can trust to teach the skills they need to survive and thrive if you ever find yourself in a critical incident.
At On Guard Defense, we have industry-certified instructors and range safety officers that are dedicated to helping you learn how to keep yourself and your loved ones safe! You become a part of our family so we have a vested interest to teach you the skills, handling techniques and proper mindset you need to fight back!!
Since women are the primary target of criminal thugs, our primary focus is on them! Owner & chief instructor, Judi Phelps, specializes in teaching women both unarmed (Krav Maga) and armed defense strategies to transform them into what she calls -- Lady Warriors!!
Don't worry, guys! Y'all are welcome here, too!! In fact, we cater to the whole family because it is our belief that if there are guns in the house, responsible gun owners have an obligation to be sure that every one in the household learns proper gun safety.
Everyone loves the AR-15, but there's a big difference between plinking targets and defending your family from a home invasion!
Can you identify a threat and get your shots on target under stress? Can you shoot from a position other than a stationary bench and shoot on the move? Will you know how to quickly resolve problems if you hear a click and wanted a bang?
Sh*t happens! Know what to do when it happens to you!
Lady Warrior Weekend is the ultimate girls' getaway that is fun, builds confidence, and helps women resurrect the Lady Warrior within them.
It's a scary world out there and we're the primary target. This retreat is designed for women of all backgrounds and skill levels who are sick and tired of feeling vulnerable and want to learn the skills they need to triumph against evil!
Designed by women and for women, Lady Warrior Weekends will teach you how to escape common attacks and defend yourselves when you are left with no other option.
Had a group of 10 fairly inexperienced shooters head down for a birthday party last month. From top to bottom a class company. Engaging ownership, intelligent instructors, beautiful property, great guns and targets. I will be back!
I enjoyed the Basic Pistol class and learned so much! I also liked how the instructors spent time after class to answer all my questions. I can't wait to get home and buy my first gun!
Wonderful experience!!! My boyfriend is a Marine so he is very experienced but I have only shot handguns, this was my first time shooting a rifle. Scott briefed us on the safety of the range and made sure I understood what to expect shooting a different type of gun. Having that guidance made me very comfortable. What a great way to end our trip to Hocking Hills!!! We will definitely be back!!!
