"Why go anywhere else in the country for this quality and type of instruction? The best is already in our own backyard." Jon S. (K-Force Student in Gilbert, AZ)
We are active-duty police officers and detectives. We are U.S Military personnel. We are prosecutors. And we bring a real-world reality to all of our training that you will not experience anywhere else. Indeed, we live what we teach. Whether you are looking to obtain your concealed carry permit (CCW), become more proficient with your weapon of choice (pistol, rifle, or shotgun), or you wish to take up advanced tactical training, you have come to the right place. This is where lethal knowledge and intelligent impact meet.
We Offer Our Knowledge
K-Force Vanguard is a firearms and personal protection training academy located in the Phoenix metropolitan area. We offer training in a number of different areas, including personal protection techniques, firearms proficiency, tactical maneuvering, and the training needed to obtain the concealed carry permit (CCW) that is valid in over 30 states. We are professionals who understand the physiology of a lethal confrontation, and we teach the importance of mental preparation and stress inoculation, firearms safety, and the legal use of force. The education we offer is diverse and consists of live-fire courses, intensive training in simulated environments, several NRA courses, and even a corporate offering that focuses on international travel and kidnappings.

We offer a training module in every course that is different from any other training facility in Arizona, and you will not find another experience like ours out there. In every one of our courses, you will experience high-energy, high-adrenalin instruction that is designed to teach you proficiency and preparation. You will learn from the best instructors this industry has to offer who will take the time to make sure you understand what is being taught and who truly care about the people who are taking on this endeavor that requires care, diligence, and skill.

Our Mission
Our mission is simple and you will see it permeate throughout everything we do: To help you prepare to avoid the use of force when possible and to use it proficiently when necessary. At K-Force, we call this Lethal Knowledge – Intelligent Impact, and it hinges on the belief that force should only be used when defending something worth fighting for, and it is our mission to assist others in making the many difficult questions that coincide with the decision to potentially use force. We look forward to you joining us!
