Panther Protection Services, LLC is a full-service protection agency performing threat assessments, risk and crisis mitigation, protective services, self-defense training, and firearms instruction. We understand the distinction between protecting people and protecting property. Our primary focus is on effective, discreet client protection-- thus our motto “swift but silent.” Our team members are disciplined, dedicated professionals who possess the most important personal protection skill – threat avoidance.
Our goal is personal risk mitigation for our clients, while enhancing their ability to function safely within their business and social environments. Our commitment is to deploying protection of the highest industry standard on all assignments.
Through our training division Panther University our goal is to make our students instructor independent vs. instructor dependent. We realize training exposes you to concepts but only practice builds skills. Therefore, as instructors we feel it is our responsibility to help ground you in strong fundamentals. Since our instructors are both martial artist and marksman, we help you build an integrated fighting system. We believe in simple, gross motor skill driven techniques that can withstand the stress of a violent physical assault or deadly force encounter. We believe simpler is better. We don’t substitute tricks for tactics. Our goal is to provide you with a solid platform in which to build your skills. It is often said that self-defense is about a mindset, however the mindset without practical defensive skills is a hallucination. We help provide you the training to become your own first line of defense.
