"Best decision I made coming here! Such knowledgeable and great people! Heather is an amazing trainer and the whole staff is so compassionate to train you and understand what your fears are! If you are looking for a self defense class this is by far the best place!"

"If I could give 10 stars I would. Heather was great with the learning portion and her husband just as great at the shooting portion. Instructors for the shooting portion were also kind, graceful, and very accommodating to my fathers needs. Wish I remembered their names to shout them out! It didn’t seem like a judgement zone at all. (Which is why I want to join one of their groups) They provided lunch which was also a plus. My dad is 63, had just come off his overnight shift at work and headed straight to the class, he’s hard of hearing along with some other ailments and this is something he has always wanted to do but since he’s lived on his own and not privy on how to move or electronics I had to help him out on signing up. Thank you all. Would recommend a thousand times over. Definitely worth the $$$"

"Excellent business! Two family members and I took the CPL class in December 2022. Brent, Heather, and everyone associated with the class, were first rate. The information and learning was solid and informational. The range, several miles outside the city was great. First time shooting at an outdoor range I highly recommend Wolverine Defense Academy for any class. The professionalism and individual instruction is unbeatable. By the way, they have a good selection of firearms for sale, or can order what you want, at great prices. Since the class, my wife and son have purchased several firearms from them."

"I want to emphasize that, while you can get licensing from many different training facilities, I have yet to hear of a place offering such quality, legitimate self-defense training during range instruction. I have only good things to say about the quality of instruction, range and otherwise, and can say that what I was taught on range was of benefit to my marksmanship and ability. If you want to take your first steps to getting qualified with a firearm, both in a licensing regard and in the regard of personal ability, you cannot go wrong here."

"Attended my first class for a CCL. Very friendly, very knowledgeable trainers. Will be returning for further training. Highly recommend!"
