United Defense Tactical Launches its First Location in Texas
In a notable development for civilian safety training, United Defense Tactical (UDT) has officially opened its doors in Texas this September. Located at 1505 W State Highway 114 in Grapevine, this new facility represents UDT's first footprint in the Lone Star State, paving the way for future expansions in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. The studio, under the leadership of franchise owners Byron Wolfe and Jonathan "JC" Caldwell, aims to empower individuals by equipping them with essential self-defense skills through innovative training methods.
JC Caldwell, a veteran of the Dallas Police Department with over two decades of frontline tactical training experience, believes this initiative addresses a critical need in the community. He states, "During my years as a police officer, I witnessed countless incidents where individuals were caught off guard by violence. Many could have effectively neutralized threats with the right training. The risk of becoming a victim in DFW is alarmingly high, and it's crucial that we prepare ourselves to respond."
The UDT Grapevine studio offers a unique approach to self-defense training, utilizing advanced simulators to create realistic, scenario-based training environments. Attendees can participate in a variety of classes designed to cater to different demographics and skill levels. The offerings include decision-making exercises that provide training under stress, women-only empowerment courses, youth and family safety workshops, and detailed seminars focusing on situational awareness and legal implications.
National studies highlight the efficacy of structured self-defense training, showing that it can reduce the risk of assault by as much as 80%. Furthermore, nine out of ten women have reported a significant boost in confidence following just one training session. Caldwell emphasizes the importance of training in not only developing skills but also enhancing individuals' self-assurance in potentially threatening situations. "The difference between being the victor or a victim is training!" he asserts.
As UDT continues to expand, its Grapevine location will serve as a community hub for safety initiatives, educational outreach, and skill-building events focused on prevention and preparedness. This initiative aligns with UDT's overarching goal to provide modern and safe training environments that equip civilians to handle real-world scenarios effectively.
For those eager to enhance their personal safety and self-defense skills, UDT Grapevine is currently accepting participants. Aspiring students can secure their places and receive early access to exclusive updates and founding member perks by visiting
