Renard Beaty is a 5th degree Master Martial Arts Instructor in Tang Soo Do, a self-defense art made famous in movies by Chuck Norris.

He opened a second business this year, Invictus Firearm Safety & Defense LLC where he serves as a certified U.S. conceal and carry (USCCA) instructor.

Renard's philosophy? You can avoid threatening situations by proper planning and preparedness. Good, effective, training leads to conditioning. Conditioning leads to consistent behavior, which in turn leads to confidence. Training, conditioning and confidence reduces the possibility of encountering a problem you can’t handle, whether in his business or life.
