Why United Defense Tactical?

Change your life and the lives of your members.

Fifteen years ago, United Defense Tactical founder and chief instructor Wes Fox realized a need that wasn’t being fulfilled anywhere else. UDT is built on the belief that training in a static environment will not prepare you for danger in a dynamic one.

UDT’s proprietary curriculum prepares civilians to react confidently in real-world scenarios where lives are at stake. The program is designed for people of any skill level, fostering camaraderie and drive through self-defense and firearms courses.

If you’ve got the drive to be a franchisee, then we’ve got the tools to help you take charge. When you buy a franchise you are investing in an exciting and unique business opportunity, driven by quality and necessity.

Why United Defense Tactical?

Shooting isn’t just the mechanics.

People are not visually or mentally prepared to act when it matters most. We train you to become a dynamic, thinking shooter.

—Wes Fox, Founder & Chief instructor
