Customer Reviews

The Defensive Skills & Safety Course at Bison Defense was outstanding. Steve was knowledgeable and made the class engaging. Highly recommend!

I recently took the Fundamentals of First Aid course at Bison Defense. The instructor was excellent and provided hands-on training. I feel confident in my ability to respond to emergencies.

The NYS Pistol Permit class at Bison Defense was informative and helped me navigate the application process. I now have my permit thanks to their guidance.

I cannot recommend Bison Defense enough. The instructors are professional, patient, and prioritize safety. A great place to learn and improve your skills.

You’re not just learning skills — you’re building capability.
