Training studio offers safe, simulation-based self-defense courses for all skill levels-no live firearms required
United Defense Tactical (UDT) opens its first Texas location this September at 1505 W State Highway 114 in Grapevine. This marks the debut of UDT in the state and the start of a broader DFW rollout under franchise owners Byron Wolfe and Jonathan “JC” Caldwell, a veteran of the Dallas Police Department with more than 20 years of frontline tactical training experience.

UDT Grapevine will feature immersive, scenario-based self-defense training using advanced simulators-no live firearms required. Classes include decision-making exercises under realistic stress, women-only empowerment courses, youth and family safety workshops, and in-depth situational awareness seminars with legal context.
“During my years as a police officer, I saw everyday people caught off guard by violence that felt unthinkable. I fully believe that with proper training they could have stopped the threat on their own,” said JC Caldwell. “The risk of becoming a victim in DFW can be alarmingly high, and response times often stretch beyond the first few critical minutes. United Defense Tactical combines those real-world lessons with cutting-edge simulations and force-on-force scenarios so you gain the skills and the split-second confidence you need when every second counts.”
“The difference between being the victor or a VICTIM is training!”
National research shows structured self-defense training can reduce the risk of assault by up to 80 percent, and nine in ten women report a major boost in confidence after just one session.
United Defense Tactical's Grapevine debut reflects its commitment to helping individuals prepare for real-world encounters through safe, modern training programs. As the company grows statewide, UDT Grapevine will serve as a hub for community safety initiatives, educational outreach, and skill-building events that prioritize prevention, awareness, and readiness.
