Course Overview
THE WIND STAGE
Level 1 was Water — upper body and lower body learning to work as one.
Level 2 is Wind. Wind doesn't hold a position. It moves through the space, around what's in the way, and it arrives from wherever it has to. That's how you're going to learn to run a handgun.
By now you can shoot from a position and flow between targets. The problem is that real space is never empty. There's cover, corners, people, bad light and a heart rate that won't sit still.
Level 2 is spatial awareness. You move and shoot, you use screens the right way, you identify before you press, and you perform from wherever you end up. Wind is also humility: we look at how other schools solve the same problems and keep what holds up.
Across the Alpha and Bravo blocks you'll work the nine Level 2 skills: shooting and moving, use of screens, pivoting footwork, positive ID, low-light tactics, unconventional positions, increased heart rate, entries and exits, and sensory use. Then you shoot the standard. Complete both blocks with a passing score and you are Level 2 qualified.
Training Focus
Primary Course Outcomes
Shoot While You Move
Forward, backward, pivoting and off the line. Your feet solve the problem while the gun stays on it, and reloads and fixes happen on the move.
Use the Space
Screens, corners, and entries and exits to cover. Know what stops rounds and what only hides you, and get in and out of position ready to shoot.
Decide Under Pressure
Positive ID, low light, unconventional positions and an elevated heart rate. See it, confirm it, and make the hit when nothing about the situation is comfortable.

Focused Skill Development
You'll leave Level 2 seeing the whole space, not just the target — and moving through it with a plan.
- Accurate hits while moving forward, backward and off the line
- Correct use of cover and concealment, and clean work around a corner
- Pivots that put you on target and into movement without crossing your feet
- A positive ID process you can explain and run under time
- Working low-light technique with a handheld or weapon-mounted light
- Stable hits from kneeling, prone, supine and seated positions
- A way to bring your breathing and sights back under an elevated heart rate
- Real, measured data on your own performance, and the drills to keep improving it
- A clear path into Level 3 and the rest of the JM Training curriculum
- Your Handgun Level 2 qualification once you complete A and B with a passing score
