At Urban Defense Academy, we prioritize muscle memory and long-term retention of skills learned. That’s why we structure our core courses using shorter, more frequent, highly focused sessions.
Our Structure for Maximum Retention
By keeping our sessions shorter (1.5 to 2.0 hours) and spreading them across multiple days, we ensure you benefit from the power of spaced repetition. This allows your mind and body to absorb complex skills between classes, turning practice into reliable muscle memory.
Here is an example of a typical Practical Pistol Course Phase (10hr) schedule:
| Day | Duration | Focus |
| Day 1 | 1.5 hr | Indoor Dry Fire (Foundations) |
| Day 2 | 1.5 hr | Indoor Dry Fire (Skill Building) |
| Day 3 | 2.0 hr | Gun Range Live Fire (Application) |
| Day 4 | 1.5 hr | Indoor Dry Fire (Skills & Drills) |
| Day 5 | 1.5 hr | Indoor Dry Fire (Practice) |
| Day 6 | 2.0 hr | Gun Range Live Fire (Application) |
This approach ensures quality repetition and higher skill retention, making you truly Confident, Capable, and Secure.
