Personalized Martial Arts Training

​​Dr. Glosenger is a Kukkiwon-certified 4th dan (degree) black belt in Taekwondo and a 1st degree black belt in Hapkido.  He also understands human anatomy, physiology, and strength & power development.  Based on your physical abilities and capacity as well as your interests and particular self-defense needs, Dr. Glosenger can custom tailor a training program that will maximize your effectiveness in protecting yourself while unarmed. 

In order for a particular technique to be effective it must be well-timed, done with excellent form, and become an instinctive reflex.  There are no shortcuts to success.  For example, taking a single women's self-defense class will not likely result in the development of reflexive techniques that you can rely on in a critical dynamic incident--this requires practice.  Repetitive training also helps achieve fitness goals as well as prepare the mind and body to respond to an attacker.​

Advancement to black belt status as well as competitive opportunities are available to those who are interested.

Email Dr. Glosenger to check availability and get started.

North Dakota Concealed Carry Permit Classes

​

Classes of Permits

There are basically no differences in North Dakota between the class I & II permits.  The class I has more stringent requirements making it more difficult to obtain; the benefit is that there are more states that will recognize this permit for reciprocity reasons.  The class II permit is also recognized by many states, but the class I does have more.  Under current law, the class I permit is more difficult to renew, because you must undergo the entire class I testing process each time.  That means you have to find someone willing to do the entire class I instruction & testing at a mutually convenient time.  With the law limiting class I course fees to $50 you may experience difficulty arranging this unless there are multiple people that want to take it with you.  The class II is easy to renew and maintain continuous concealed carry rights.  Unless you  have the need for reciprocity in one of the states that recognize the class I, you may be just fine with the class II permit  Firearms laws and reciprocity agreements change continually.  Check the ND Attorney General website and with the state you plan to carry in for updated information.

​​

Class II

By law, you must successfully complete a written examination on the North Dakota Concealed Weapons Manual produced by the attorney general to obtain this permit.

To prepare for this class, you must study the ND Concealed Weapons manual (link below).  Prior to the test, I offer an optional review of the permit process and some of the ND Century Code contained in the manual's appendix as time allows; this review will not substitute for reading the manual prior to the class.  I will also answer questions about the application process and firearms in general.  If you fail to read the manual, you will not likely perform well on the examination.  Although the test is "open book" it is time limited, has some difficult questions, and requires a 100% score on the first 28 legal questions.  Reading the manual is not optional--you must come prepared and know the law.  If you fail the test, you will have to re-take the examination in its entirety at a mutually convenient time, and pass it, in order to apply for your permit.

​

Requirements for Class II Permit:

​

Currently the fee is $30 for class II test administration ($15 if you have already attempted the exam previously and failed).  Fingerprints $10.  2 color passport photos $10.  Checks are not accepted due to the risk of my having to pay the bank the NSF fee.

 

1.  Properly completed application (you can download this from the Attorney General's website or fill it out online.  You must know all information on arrests, convictions, etc. (whether or not the event resulted in charges being dropped, records expunged, etc. to help you complete the application accurately.  Leaving out this information will result in denial of your application even if the incident discovered would not have otherwise disqualified you from obtaining a permit.  See the Attorney General's website for information on requesting your own criminal background information prior to applying if necessary for accuracy purposes in filling out your application).  Visiting ND Courts public search  may help you with specific information if the records are public.

2.  Set of fingerprints (FBI classifiable prints).  These may be taken at the time of your class provided you bring a government issued photo ID and your fingers with you ;) ​

3. Successfully complete an open book test based on the ND Concealed Weapons Manual.

4.  Two recent color passport photos

5.  Cashier's check or money order for $60 made to the ND Attorney General to process your permit application.  They will NOT accept any checks. 

6.  Copy of valid ND driver's license or ID card OR your resident state driver's license or ID PLUS a copy of your CW permit from your home state of residence (home state must have reciprocity with ND).

Class I Permit Classes

​These are taught as needed.  They must be scheduled more than 15 days in advance.  Coordinating access to the Minot Rifle and Pistol Club will be necessary for the shooting proficiency test.  Contact Dr. Glosenger if you are interested in a class I permit instead of a class II.

​NRA Basic Pistol Class

​

This is the National Rifle Association course that teaches the fundamentals of handgun operation, ammunition, safety, storage, operation, terminology, basic shooting positions, fundamentals of target shooting, live fire practice, etc.  The course is approximately 10 hours in length and is an excellent course for those learning about handguns.  Handguns can be provided or you can bring your own.  You must provide your own ammunition (unless you shoot .22 only) and eye protection.  Let Dr. Glosenger know if you are interested in taking this course.

​

​Defensive Pistol Shooting

​

This training focuses on effectively defending oneself with a handgun in a variety of situations.  In contrast to target shooting, combat shooting uses more realistic engagement ranges, positions, and scenarios and focuses on combining speed with combat accuracy.  Drawing from concealment, tactical and emergency reloading, and shooting under stress are taught and practiced.​
