Become the Weapon.
Master Mind, Body & Gun.
Gun-Jitsu is the martial art of lawful armed self-defense — a holistic discipline blending Samurai precision with Templar conscience. Taught by MAJ (Ret) Will Rodriguez: West Point graduate, combat veteran, 15,000+ hours of instruction, 10,000+ students trained.
“The Gun is a Tool. You Are the Weapon.”
The Four Pillars of Gun-Jitsu
Discipline across four dimensions.
Mind
Cultivate awareness and decision-making rooted in honor. Situational awareness, criminal psychology, stress physiology, and the legal clarity to act correctly under pressure.
Body
Build physical readiness and efficient movement. Draw stroke, retention, one-handed operation, and the kinetic foundation that makes every other skill possible.
Gun
Master the tool as an extension of disciplined will. Defensive handgun essentials, red dot proficiency, advanced dynamic shooting, and the tactical employment of every skill together.
Lifestyle
Embrace concealed carry as a commitment to safeguard loved ones. Home hardening, vehicle defense, daily awareness, and the protector mentality as a way of life — not paranoia.
Coaching Packages
Four paths to mastery.
Personal one-on-one coaching from MAJ (Ret) Rodriguez. Every package includes complimentary lifetime Expert Witness Representation (minus travel / per diem) — a differentiator no other instructor offers.

No. These workshops are designed for people of any experience level. No firearm is required, used, or discussed in detail. The focus is on awareness, decision-making, and prevention.
Is this for beginners or advanced students?
Both. The material is grounded in fundamentals that benefit beginners, but the depth and the source material make it valuable for experienced students too.
