Jeff Bloovman
Jeff Bloovman started his journey in shooting and traditional martial arts at the age of eight. He believes firearms are tools that in capable hands can mitigate physical disparities between predators and their intended victims, thereby leveling the dangerous playing field of the violent assault paradigm. He feels that, at the end of the day, we are all responsible for our own personal protection, regardless of age, race, gender, sexual orientation, and political ideologies.
In 2004 he took his first formal firearms class, and realized despite having shot guns since childhood, he had a tremendous amount to learn about successfully employing them to save lives. He has a black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu under Daniel Gracie and studied under Paul Gomez, Marcus Wynne, Dennis Martin, Craig Douglas, Nick Hughes, Michael de Bethencourt, Jeff Gonzalez, Tom Givens, Steve Fisher, Freddy Osuna, Joe Weyer, Scott Jedlinski, Shay VanVlymen, John Johnston, Chase Jenkins, John Murphy, William Petty, Chase Jenkins, Chuck Haggard, William Aprill, Paul Sharp, Sideco Honorio, Brett Linebarger, Chip Hart, Andy Carr, Dr. Steven L. Sun, Kevin Clanton, Joe Breidenstein, Caleb Causey, and other top level tactical and martial arts trainers. He believes that there is no “one source” who has all the answers, and that every great instructor has a unique perspective on life-saving techniques as well as a distinct style of communicating them. Therefore, he constantly seeks out the tutelage of other reputable instructors in a never-ending quest for cutting edge training tools and defensive technology. He feels privileged to be in a position to help you achieve greater confidence in your abilities to protect yourself and your loved ones.
In 2011, Jeff had the unique opportunity to compete on Discovery Channel’s show, One Man Army. In Episode 1 “Brothers In Arms” his opponents came from varied backgrounds including the US Marshals Service, Civilian Contracting, and Delta Force. Jeff won every challenge, eliminating the opposition and winning the title of One Man Army, quite an accomplishment considering the pedigree of his peers. He has been a featured expert on the Discovery Channel, VICELAND, History 2 Channel, American Heroes Channel, ABC 6, Washington Post, Rolling Stone, Huffington Post, and others. He is an operating room nurse at a Level I trauma center in Philadelphia, PA.

A word on presenting.
From the years 2005-2010 while continuing his martial studies, Jeff studied acting and directing under several great teachers including George DiCenzo. On the stage as an actor and backstage as a director, Jeff's peers lauded him for his impressive communication abilities. He feels these experiences strongly influenced his abilities as an educator. Communicating in a thoughtful and succinct manner tailored to each individual results in superior retention and understanding of concepts. Jeff’s mission as an instructor is to use plain language to break down seemingly complex techniques into a palatable, easy to understand way. Regardless of which Armed Dynamics class you take, Jeff has one ultimate goal: to create free thinking tacticians.
