About TAC-1

Dynamic skill acquisition; performance shooting

TAC-1 takes great pride in incorporating the ecological dynamics approach into our firearms training. This modern framework for dynamic skill acquisition emphasizes the interaction between perception, action, and the environment, while promoting the safest methods for shooting and firearm operation. We address a variety of physical and psychological developmental issues related to skill acquisition by manipulating three key constraints: individual, task, and environment, all focused on enhancing performance shooting.

Ecological Dynamics Approach

Based in Southern California, TAC-1 is a premier firearms trainer established in 2010. Founded by Shoji Hattori, a senior firearms trainer and instructor with a large metropolitan police department in Los Angeles, CA, TAC-1 offers comprehensive firearms training for both civilians and law enforcement personnel. The curriculum includes instruction in pistol, rifle, shotgun, edged weapons, and tactical medicine. Tactical shooting courses are designed to accommodate various skill levels, from beginners to advanced practitioners. The firearms training philosophy emphasizes the "Combat Triad": mindset, skills, and tactics, ensuring a holistic approach to defensive shooting.​ ​Join any of our classes to experience top-quality firearms training and tactical shooting.
