BZ Academy Teaching Methodology

At BZ Academy, we have developed our unique teaching methodology, honed over a decade of experience instructing civilians, security personnel, and Law Enforcement. Our primary focus is the safety of everyone involved and the steady progress of our clients.

To ensure our training is simple, effective, and easy to follow for adult learners, we break each exercise or drill into three essential steps, addressing the most important questions:

The What?
We begin by clearly explaining what we are going to teach. This involves a detailed, easy-to-understand description of the skill or technique, accompanied by a visual demonstration. This helps students grasp the concept both intellectually and visually before attempting it themselves.
The Why?
Next, we explain why this particular skill or technique is important. We focus on its value and relevance, helping students understand how it can benefit them as shooters and why it's worth mastering.
The How?
In this step, we break down how to perform the technique, outlining its key components and important details. The instructor will demonstrate both dry (without live ammunition) and live fire examples, ensuring students can see exactly how the technique is executed and understand it fully before attempting it themselves.

Practice Time
Before moving to live fire, we allow students to practice each new skill or technique "dry," without live ammunition. This ensures everyone feels comfortable and confident before progressing. Once students are ready, we move on to live-fire exercises. Throughout both stages, our instructors provide personalized feedback and tips for improvement, helping students refine their skills.

questions and Answers
After each exercise, we take the time to discuss the drill, encouraging feedback and addressing any comments. If students have questions related to the technique, the instructor will answer them, ensuring complete understanding before moving on to the next lesson.

Our methodology prioritizes safety, clarity, and progression, ensuring every student learns effectively while building confidence and skill.
