Precision Defensive & Tactical Shooting School (PDTSS) offers CCW classes and defensive & offensive self-defense shooting. We teach what a person needs to know in a real world situation for defensive shooting and self-defense.
We have training for women, including an anti-rape course using different lethal and non-lethal weapons and the use of firearms. We also have a home invasion course where we teach you what the bad guys look for and how to defeat them. Remember, the best defense is a good offense.

History
Established in 1999.
Ed Rodriguez started PDTSS after he retired from the Army. He fought for our country for over 22 years, and more than 15 of those years were spent in Special Operations. He experienced and used these combat & survival techniques during the course of his service, so he knows what works.
Ed feels strongly about firearms and self-defense training because he knows that anyone can be attacked at any time. «When I was a kid, my mother was a victim of a very violent armed robbery and had a gun held to her head. It haunted her for years and made her afraid to go outside alone. I don’t want others to have to go through that.»
Ed has also had the opportunity to share his extensive combat and weapons knowledge with other military personnel. Many of his students have contacted him to let him know that the training they received from him has been put to use in combat and has saved lives. «That’s what it’s all about… giving people the tools and training to defend themselves anytime, anywhere.
