A few months ago I had no idea that a one-day training session would become the starting point of a much longer journey. Afterwards I knew that I wanted to go deeper, learn more and be ready. The intensive weekend course is about knowledge that can save your life and the lives of people around you. I am grateful to every instructor for their professionalism, patience, humour and belief in us. National resistance is a choice and a community you want to be part of.

The training was excellent. I have not regretted signing up for a second. Thank you for such a full programme, and thank you to the instructors and everyone involved. ❤️🔥
IrynaYou do more than provide training. You nurture courage, resilience and the ability to overcome what seems impossible. My deep respect and gratitude to the veterans who defend us and share their knowledge. Glory to the Heroes! 🫡

This was not my first training session. Thank you to the organisers and instructors for their enormous work — they truly are among the best of our nation. 🥰🥰🥰

We gained invaluable skills, especially in tactics. We crawled, ran, fell and got back up; packed wounds and applied bandages and tourniquets. It was hard and painful, but the satisfaction of overcoming it was stronger than the fatigue. The instructors were professional, resilient, friendly and remarkable. Thank you for their experience and knowledge. Join the training!

I expected my arms to hurt most from digging trenches, but holding a weapon was even harder. My advice is to improve your fitness, bring food and water, wear suitable field or outdoor clothing, take eye protection and headwear, a sleeping mat and your own tourniquet if you have one, and arrange shared transport with other participants.

It is extremely important to hold and attend events like this. Civilians must remember the war and prepare: learn how to handle a weapon, use tourniquets and medical kits, save lives and recognise dangerous objects and explosives.
OleksandraSo many things were new to me: digging a trench, applying a tourniquet and moving under cover. I would recommend this one-day course to everyone. It is physically demanding, but the feeling of personal and team achievement stays with you for a long time.

There was an extraordinary amount of practice: positions, dry-fire drills and firearms training. The instructors clearly explained ballistics, ammunition, safe weapon handling and accurate shooting. I learned a great deal, practised intensively and truly enjoyed the experience. A huge thank you for the opportunity to gain so many useful skills free of charge.
