Today we’d like to introduce you to Logan Copas.
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
I’m a police officer of 10 plus years. Most of my career I have worked patrol, SWAT, and on the training cadre. I specialize in firearms and Combatives.
As a cop I truly see how evil people can be and how minutes can be a lifetime in a deadly encounter. So I wanted to help train the civilian market so I started Phalanx Training Group. I teach a vast variety of skills to beginners to experienced people. My goal is to make everyone safer and by doing that is through training in violence.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Yes, every thing in life has its challenges however I have had my wife’s full support and the bussiness has been going good for the last few years.
Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about Phalanx Training Group ?
My company Phalanx Training Group offers multiple skills that are essential to protecting yourself and others. Our moto is “never unarmed” this does not mean carry multiple guns, knives, tomahawks, flashlights, and ninja stars on you at all times. This mean make your body a weapon. Gear is perishable but skills are not. My company specialized in Firearms, and Combatives.
With my firearms training we push performance. Meaning I offer courses for first time shooters, experienced shooters and in between. I prioritize the key points to not just surviving a deadly encounter but winning it. Those points are get the gun out of the holster, get on target, and shoot faster and more accurately than the subject. We focus hard on fundamentals at speed. I have trained and continue to train with USPSA shooters around the country, as well as do local matches.
Combatives is my personal favorite of the hard skills. It’s not just grabbing a training gun and throwing on a GI and going on the Matt’s. It’s training and exposing yourself to different environments, multiple subjects, armed and unarmed, as well as defending your own weapon and prohibiting the bad guy from using his. During my courses we break down techniques complete drills and then go force on force to validate the training from class.
I teach combatives and firearms courses each month at my home gym Fitness Fight Factory.
We’d love to hear about how you think about risk taking?
As a law enforcement officer, SWAT officer and a Martial artist I have taken many risks in my life. More than risk I prefer the term test. I love to test myself not just only in marital arts but also in my job as we train every shift to confront evil and protect the innocent.
