WHY I TRAIN EVERYDAY CITIZENS
ABOUT JASON TANKSLEY
Hi, I’m Jason Tanksley, founder of Ground Zero Training Solutions. I help everyday men and women develop the confidence and skills needed for personal protection.
I specialize in training beginners and those new to shooting, focusing on clear instruction, safe fundamentals, and practical application. My goal is to make training approachable and effective, without ego or intimidation. Whether you are brand new to firearms, a concerned parent, a church security volunteer, or simply looking to feel more capable, I work with you step by step.
Self-protection is both a right and a responsibility. Every class I teach is designed to equip students with the mindset and skills to respond effectively when it matters most.
My mission is simple. To help you become a protector, not a bystander.
