Stage Movement Lab

$750 · 2-Day Class · 8 seats

Prerequisite: USPSA B class or equivalent

New for 2027

Most classes try to cover a bit of everything, so movement ends up as an afterthought. You get a few runs, a nice thumbs up from the instructor (if he even saw your run), and you leave without knowing how any of it will change your next match score. Not here. Two full days, one topic: how your movement turns into a higher hit factor.

  • Two days, one topic. Sets of 10+ reps on every skill instead of 2–3 runs a block, with a Grandmaster watching every run.

  • Movement that fits you. Efficient movement looks different on every shooter. You'll leave with the version that's fastest for you, not a copy of mine.

  • Options, tested head to head. Once a technique clicks, it goes on the timer against the alternatives, so you know which one actually wins.

  • Stage-day ready. Break down stages, program your footwork, and prove it holds up at match speed. If it falls apart under pressure, it doesn't work.

Fair warning: this class is physical. Eight shooters max. If you're done guessing on stage day, this is the class you've been looking for.

BEFORE YOU SIGN UP

NOTE: This class will require a minimum of a USPSA B classification OR EQUIVALENT. If you don't have a classification, please reach out directly to discuss. This is a fast-moving, physically demanding, advanced class, and everyone will be expected to keep up. Our Performance Pistol class is recommended, but not required, for a deep dive on fundamentals and an introduction to practical shooting.

WHAT TO BRING

  • A competition-ready pistol in any USPSA division. A backup gun is not necessary, but recommended.

  • At least 6 magazines. Bring more if you have them (I usually bring 12–15).

  • Mag pouches for your division

  • A competition holster and belt, or a Kydex holster that fully covers the trigger guard. No SERPA, nylon, or leather holsters allowed.

  • 1,000 rounds of ammunition minimum

  • Eye protection (both clear and tinted recommended)

  • Ear protection (electronic hearing protection required)

  • Athletic shoes or cleats with good traction

  • Water, snacks, and lunch

  • Tools to service your optics, holsters, guns, etc.

  • Spare batteries for optics

  • Rain gear (we train rain or shine)

Refunds will only be given if Gateway Defense has to cancel a class. No refund will be given due to a student being unable to attend. A full class credit will be issued for a future Gateway Defense class by notifying brennan@gateway-defense.com no less than 14 days prior to the class date.
