Questions About Classes, Simulators, and Events

Find practical answers before choosing a class, trying a simulator experience, or planning a group event. For laws and permits, always check guidance specific to your location.

Do I need experience before taking a class?

No prior experience is needed for an introductory class. Review each course description for prerequisites, and contact Shogun Elite Training if you are unsure which option fits your goals.

What should I do before my first class?

Read your booking confirmation for the schedule, location, and any preparation instructions. Arrive ready to follow instructor directions, and ask ahead of time about accessibility needs or anything you should bring.

Do I need to bring my own equipment?

Equipment requirements vary by course. Check the specific class listing before booking, and ask our team what is provided or available if you do not have the listed items.

What is a simulator experience like?

Simulator sessions offer scenario-based practice in a guided setting. Activities and availability depend on the session you select; review its description or contact us to discuss your group’s experience level.

Can I plan a simulator party for a group?

Yes. Send us your preferred date, group size, and occasion so we can discuss available simulator party options, scheduling, and what to expect before you book.

Will a class meet my state's permit requirements?

Requirements differ by jurisdiction and can change. Check the current course description for its stated scope, then verify permit rules with the relevant government authority before relying on a class for any application.

Location Matters

How We Review Legal and Permit Resources

Firearms, personal-protection, and permit rules vary by state and locality, and they can change over time. Legal and permit-related resources on this page are scoped to the jurisdictions they address, verified against current authoritative sources, and reviewed before publication. Each such resource should clearly display its applicable location, review date, and source references so you can assess whether it applies to you.

Educational content is not a substitute for official requirements or individualized legal advice. Before applying for a permit, traveling with equipment, or relying on a training course to satisfy a legal requirement, confirm the latest rules with the appropriate government agency. If a resource does not identify your jurisdiction or its review date, do not assume it reflects current law where you live.
