SHIFT Philosophy
Personal safety is a lifestyle, not an afterthought
You are your own first responder. No one will be at your emergency faster than you. Train like your life depends on it …. or wait to be a victim.
At Shift Lifestyles, our goal is to educate and empower people to make a shift in lifestyle to a better, safer, healthier place. We train with an emphasis on perfecting fundamentals, then applying those fundamentals to real-world scenarios under stress.
Physical skills + cognitive recognition = increased survivability.

Ruth
I came into Dawn Bradley's course thinking I was already proficient with firearms, but left with an entirely new level of respect for safety, manipulation, and real-world competency. Her training style is clear, effective, and immediately applicable. Dawn is the real deal and anyone serious about sharpening their skills should train with her.
Rich
I took Dawn's basic pistol class. I walked in feeling very nervous but left feeling confident. I had no idea shooting a gun could be that much fun. Every woman who is nervous around guns should take her class.
