Description

<p>Philip Toppino founded W.O.F.T. (Where Our Families Train) to provide scenario-based safety training, empowering individuals and families to handle real-life situations. Located on a 20-acre facility near Orlando, Florida, WOFT combines practical skills with situational awareness. </p><p><br></p><p>I’m thrilled to share the incredible insights from our latest episode.
This time, I had the pleasure of speaking with Philip , the founder and director of WOFT (West Orlando Firearms Training). Trust me, you don’t want to miss this one!</p><p>
**Why You Should Tune In:**</p><p><br></p><p>
1. **Real-Life Scenario Safety and Instruction**: Philip’s facility, WOFT, specialises in scenario-based training that prepares you for real-life encounters. Imagine learning how to handle potentially dangerous situations in a safe, controlled environment. It’s like a movie studio backlot for personal safety!</p><p></p><p>2. **Empowerment Through Awareness**: We dive deep into the importance of situational awareness. Philip shares how being aware of your surroundings can make you a "hard target" and significantly reduce your risk of becoming a victim.</p><p><br></p><p>
3. **Practical Self-Defense Tools**: From flashlights to pepper spray, Philip explains how everyday items can be used creatively for self-defence. He even demonstrates how wind can affect pepper spray, emphasising the need for practical experience and practice. </p><p><br></p><p>4. **Family-Friendly Training**: WOFT isn’t just for the hardcore enthusiasts. It’s designed to be accessible and empowering for families, including mothers and children. Philip’s goal is to create a welcoming environment where everyone can learn together.</p><p></p><p>5. **Learning from Mistakes**: We talk about the importance of making mistakes in a safe environment. It’s better to learn and correct errors during training than in real-life situations.</p><p><br></p><p>
6. **Hands-On Experience**: Online courses are great, but nothing beats the experience of being physically put under pressure in realistic scenarios. Philip and I both agree that everyone should experience purposed based learning with scenario training at least once.</p><p><br></p><p>
7. **Transformative Outcomes**: Hear inspiring stories, like that of Lindsey Graham (Patriot Barbie), who credits WOFT with saving her life through improved situational awareness.</p><p><br></p><p>
8. **Tailored Training**: Philip emphasizes the importance of creating a custom learning experience tailored to each participant’s skill level and life experiences. This personalized approach ensures that everyone walks away with valuable, applicable skills.</p><p><br></p><p>
