I am currently training with Modern Gladiator Defense LLC, and it has been an outstanding experience. Jaz is very knowledgeable, patient, and focused on safety above all else. The private range is top-notch, and the training pushed me to improve both my skills and mindset. You can tell he truly cares about developing responsible, confident defenders. Highly recommend to anyone serious about learning the right way!

Hands down would recommend taking a course with Jaz. We took a LTC class (for a coworker) and ended the experience with some great range time running more advanced pistol work. Jaz has a great energy about him, firm but patient and very alert to issues. He also answered about a dozen dumb questions I came up with over the 2 days with care and consideration. We are looking forward to our next class/training session with him. Small groups or 1 on 1 this is your guy!!!

Jaz is by far the best firearms instructor I’ve ever taken a class with. I learned so much training with him. He’s extremely patient and just an overall great guy. Whether you want your carry license or just want to be more efficient with your firearm, Jaz is your guy.

I have a million good things to say about working with Jazz and his team. They are professional, responsive and amazing at teaching. Every second of learning I was engauged with Jazz the instructor and left feeling so happy I chose them to get my carry permit.

My brother and I took a shooting class at Modern Gladiator Defense, and it exceeded our expectations in every way…. It was an amazing experience from start to finish! Our instructor, Jaz, was incredibly kind, informative, and made learning both safe and fun.
As a woman, I found it especially empowering to learn these skills and have this kind of training.
The class was extremely helpful, striking the perfect balance between tactical knowledge and practical application. Jaz also took the time to answer all our questions and made sure we felt comfortable and confident!
