FSW PROTECTORS SUMMIT® WINTER (JAN 31st FEB 2nd 2025)
The world is full of challenges, and as men, especially as fathers and Christians, it’s our God-given responsibility to protect our families from the physical and spiritual dangers that surround us. The Full Spectrum Warrior Protectors Summit® is designed specifically for men like you—men who are committed to safeguarding their loved ones and strengthening their faith in the process.
This 3-day, men-only event is a powerful blend of leadership, combat training, and spiritual growth. Tailored for fathers and men of faith, the Protectors Summit® offers hands-on training with elite instructors, including Navy SEALs and Special Forces Operators, world champion fighters, and pastors, all of whom are dedicated to equipping you to be a stronger protector of your home and community.
Training Highlights:
-Firearms Proficiency: You’ll develop your skills in handling pistols and rifles, with a focus on close-quarters battle techniques. In our realistic 5,000 sq/ft shoot-house, you’ll learn how to defend your home and move your family to safety in high-pressure scenarios. Taught by seasoned Special Operators, this training includes less-than-lethal training firearms to simulate real-life threats, allowing you to practice tactical maneuvers in confined spaces.
-Concealed Carry Combatives: On the pistol range, you’ll be trained in drawing from a holster, cutting angles, and engaging threats while on the move. You’ll also work on weapons management and muzzle discipline, as well as target identification in simulated crowd situations. The training extends to vehicle defense, where you’ll practice engaging threats from within a vehicle, dismounting, and moving to safety while communicating with a partner.
-Combat Conditioning and Tactical Challenges: Expect to be pushed physically and mentally through rigorous challenges designed to awaken your inner warrior. From lifting stones and carrying logs to navigating our combat conditioning obstacle course, you’ll engage in exercises that test your strength, endurance, and mental grit. These challenges are designed to prepare you for real-world scenarios where you may need to protect your family under extreme stress.
-Combatives Training: Under the guidance of world champion fighters, you’ll practice techniques for hand-to-hand combat, weapons retention, and the use of improvised weapons. This training is crucial for situations where you may need to defend yourself or your loved ones in close-quarters situations outside the safety of your home.
-Rifle Tactics and Night Operations: Work with our team of Special Operators to enhance your rifle handling skills, learning to navigate obstacles and engage threats from multiple positions. Come nightfall, you’ll revisit these skills in dynamic shooting stages in the dark, using flashlights to identify and engage targets with both pistols and rifles.
– Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC): Understanding basic combat medicine is essential for any protector. You’ll train with TCCC instructors to learn how to stop massive blood loss, pack wounds, and clear airways using realistic training aides and scenario-based exercises. This knowledge could be life-saving in a crisis.
-FSW Combat Conditioning Course: On the last day, you and your team will put all your skills to the test in the FSW Combat Conditioning Course. This intensive challenge includes running through the shoot-house, engaging threats out to 600 yards, defending your pistol from attackers, applying tourniquets, carrying injured persons to safety, and much more. You’ll need to work together, leading and supporting each other through fatigue and stress to successfully complete the course.
Spiritual Growth and Leadership:
Throughout the weekend, our elite coaching staff will lead 15–45-minute talks on leadership, discipline, faith, and success principles. These sessions are designed to empower you with the wisdom and perspective needed to lead your family with strength and conviction. You’ll learn how God can work in your life to help you become the best father, leader, and protector you can be.
Each evening will end with bonfire talks, where you’ll have the opportunity to reflect on the day’s training, share experiences with other like-minded men, and deepen your spiritual connection. On Sunday morning, we’ll offer an optional church service led by Pastor Fawbush. For those ready to take the next step in their faith, Pastor Fawbush will also conduct a baptism ceremony at the conclusion of the Protectors Summit®, offering a powerful moment of spiritual renewal among your peers and new brothers.
Who Should Attend:
While this is a faith-based leadership weekend, attendees do not need to be Christians to participate. Our teachings are Biblically based, but we welcome men of all backgrounds who are committed to improving themselves and training hard with humility. All are welcome to join us for this impactful weekend in the woods.
