Scott Mauldin Level II Principal Instructor
"Expanding the sphere..." is Scott's philosophy not only
when it involves firearms training but everything else he
does. This is evident in the fact that he was a 2nd
degree Black Belt Karate instructor at the age of
19! After receiving a degree in Criminal Justice
Scott started
his career in law enforcement. In his early twenty's
he became one of the youngest Special Agents to
be hired by the U.S. Secret Service. They soon
discovered his
teaching and hand-to-hand combat skills as well as his
speed and proficiency with a handgun and
wisely assigned him to their academy as a multi-
level instructor where he taught daily.. During his career
he has had the
opportunity to meet and train with several of the country's
leading defensive combat instructors. These experiences inspired him to combine the
best of these learned techniques and put them together into a three tiered training
concept suitable for law enforcement training and, with minor modifications, appropriate
for law abiding citizens who are legally permitted to carry concealed handguns. Scott's
instruction is "shooting intensive" and his multilevel program is one of the best ever
developed.
