      <title>5 Tips for Firearms Teaching from Kris “Tanto” Paronto</title>
      <description>&lt;p style="text-align: left;"&gt;If you want to improve your &lt;a data-udi="umb://document/68f2793bf150448890b4d549782413cf" href="/features/" title="Features"&gt;teaching of firearms and tactics&lt;/a&gt;, there are five simple things you can do that will go a long way with your students. These have worked for me throughout my years of teaching civilians, so I know they can help you too.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Don’t be a tough guy.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Run some of the drills with the students.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Be clear in your instructions. And, be open to questions.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;At the beginning of class, check out the gear everyone brought. (You and the students can learn &lt;em&gt;a lot&lt;/em&gt; from this.)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;You have to genuinely care about your &lt;a data-udi="umb://document/0585b05bed8f4e0ea0a0ef7efca9cc18" href="/students/" title="Students"&gt;firearms students&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Watch the video below to find out why these tips are so important and to get details on how to implement them in your &lt;a data-udi="umb://document/4ab8a62d200e44ea9e01c81de1c87bc5" href="/find-classes/" title="Find Classes"&gt;firearms classes&lt;/a&gt;. I also include a couple bonus tips at the end. But first, grab a pen and paper, because you’ll want to take notes as part of your &lt;a href="/blog/posts/how-to-become-a-firearms-instructor/"&gt;firearms instructor training&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
