AE Defense is where real and serious come to train in Middle Tennessee.

Founded on a legacy of private security, protection, and preparedness, AE Defense exists for those who refuse to be average — the protectors, the professionals, and the patriots committed to mastering their craft. Our training blends modern gunfighting principles, tactical readiness, and mindset development to create shooters who are confident, capable, and accountable.

From foundational pistol work to advanced carbine and defensive applications, mindset to physical fitness and readiness every course and program is built around one mission: to make you harder to kill and more useful to those around you.

AE Defense isn’t a hobby shop. It’s a standard.

Be Real. Be Ready. Be the Defense.
