Core Values

Astrid is an ancient name meaning “divine strength”. Astrid has been featured in poetry and music. She would advise Viking royalty and fight fearlessly alongside the male warriors. Astrid is decisive, beautiful, and unquestioningly capable of defending herself and those she loves.

Astrid inspires the core values of Astrid Defense:

QUALITY

We constantly strive to provide the best training for our students, at the highest quality level we can produce, in the finest professional training facilities in the region.

PRICE

We work to keep our prices as reasonable as possible so that we can continue to make top-quality training available to many more people who otherwise may not be able to afford it.

AUTHENTICITY

We gladly show our dedicated investment in our continued training and development. This is done by making our certificates, diplomas, and other training documents available for viewing by our students. They then know without a doubt that we take our training and theirs seriously. We continually work to improve and refine our skills so that we can offer the best education we can produce, for our student trainees.

ACCOUNTABILITY

We are responsible for making our training excellent and constantly working to improve and update what we provide to our trainees. We take this seriously. We are accountable to those who put their trust in our services.

CONFIDENCE

We consistently work to provide the best training for our students so they will return for additional and advanced training with the confidence they will again get the best training value for their personal investment of time and money.

EXCELLENCE

We will always go the distance to provide excellence in all we do to train and educate our students. We do this so that they develop a solid foundation of skills that lead them to seek new options and paths for their lives, with strength and unwavering confidence.

PASSION

The Astrid team is totally involved in every aspect of the training we provide. It is done out of our passion to teach the skills we offer, and the pride of seeing our trainees grow from “baby-beginners”, to skilled firearms handlers/users who continually practice, and seek to refine and grow those newly attained skills.

BRAND

We are proud of our brand and what it represents. We work hard every day to make Astrid Defense the best it can be.  We take pride in what we do.  We are Astrid Defense!
