Static Performance
Here, we combine all the baseline fundamentals. At Mantis Strategic Defense LLC®, our training emphasizes both static and dynamic performance to build complete, capable shooters. Static performance focuses on accuracy, fundamentals, and consistency from fixed positions—developing disciplined marksmanship.

Together, these methods ensure our clients are confident, adaptable, and ready for high-threat environments.

Dynamic performance training at Mantis Strategic Defense LLC® challenges students to apply marksmanship and tactics while on the move, under stress, and in rapidly changing scenarios. This approach develops critical skills such as target identification with, movement, communication, and adaptability—bridging the gap between the range and real-world encounters.
