"When I was held hostage in my house for 5 1/2 hours at knife-point and then stalked for 2 years, I knew I needed to increase the odds I would prevail in a court of law . . . "

-Susan Romanov, SFWA Founder

Since that time in 1992 . . .

My passion has been helping women (and men) increase the odds they will prevail if attacked . . . and should the need arise to use deadly force in a self defense situation, to increase the odds they will prevail in the fight for their life to freely enjoy the life they had to protect.

It was at a time when carry permits did not exist. Although I became proficient myself, I concentrated on helping others be proficient at training other women whose lives did/may depend on it, too. Helping women empower themselves through SFWA 's exclusive and exceptional civilian training experiences and SFWA's Certified Instructor training opportunities, I have written more than a dozen firearms related training courses and opened the only range in the country designed specifically for women and their families and friends now located in Sevierville, TN where my husband and I have introduced our Citizen's Elite Real World civilian training program, too! Come visit us if you are ever in the beautiful Great Smoky Mountains of East Tennessee and Western North Carolina!

If you know me, you understand that although I can put five 9mm bullets in the same hole, one handed, at 21 feet, I have not chosen to participate in competitions or spend time getting "likes" and "followers" on social media. For more than two decades, I have dedicated my time to teaching civilians who decide to carry a handgun for self-defense how to increase the odds they will prevail when their life depends on it. To me, it is most important that I [and other SFWA Instructors] can teach YOU to shoot well and perform at your best when seconds count. As of 2018, I may have personally surpassed 100,000 students who have taken my courses, I am most interested in working on the next 100,000 . . . and you are helping me with my mission. Thank you for signing on for this course and trusting SFWA with your education and empowerment in your self-defense journey.

The worst feeling when you carry a handgun for personal protection is perhaps, "what if my gun is taken from me when I take it out of my carry choice to defend myself!" When seconds count, you need the confidence to know you have selected a gun you can hold on to in a fight for your life and that you can carry it in a manner that will help you perform better.  Best of all, this course is not a video like youtube university and it is not a repeat of what everyone is discussion on the internet.

We know that there is more to increasing the odds you will prevail in a self-defense situation than taking a short online course to understand methods of carrying a handgun you select for personal protection.  That is one of the reasons this course offers an exclusive opportunity to meet in person, via Zoom at a prescheduled convenient time, anytime after you complete the online course to assure that all of your questions are answered! We will do a short review of the essentials and answer your questions in the span of about an hour.
