Sword and Shield

About

Salvator Broes established Sword and Shield with a clear mission: transform everyday citizens into confident protectors through professional-grade tactical instruction. Drawing from his extensive background as a U.S. Army veteran, DOD Agent, and Government Contractor, Salvator brings battlefield-tested expertise to civilian training programs. Our philosophy centers on one crucial truth: the first time you fire your weapon should never be your first time using it. We bridge the gap between firearm ownership and true defensive capability through hands-on training that simulates real-world pressure situations.
