Here at MDFI, we teach everything based on the whole person concept of a responsibly armed citizen. Mindset is the first and arguably the most important part about defending yourself and others. Having a proper mindset and understanding the mindset of those that would do us harm is crucial, and the expertise that Dr. William Aprill brings to the table is second to none. We are very proud to be able to bring him to the MDFI Alumni.
Dr. William Aprill is a licensed mental health professional with over 15 years experience. He is a former deputy sheriff (Orleans Parish, LA, Criminal Sheriff’s Office) and Special Deputy US Marshal (Eastern District of Louisiana), a decorated competitive shooter and has taught civilian, law enforcement, and military personnel in various fighting skills since 1990. Under the auspices of Aprill Risk Consulting, William has presented his material on violent criminals and their decision-making, defensive incident aftermath, mindset development and defensive preparedness locally and nationally.

An outstanding and eye opening class that is an absolute must for everyone who wants to become a more well rounded individual. This is not just a "gun guy" class. If you find yourself out in public at all, this class is for you. If you have ever been approached by a panhandler or have been a victim of criminal violence, there's a reason for it and this class covers it in explicit detail. Highly recommended to everyone.
Eight hours that seemed to go by in 30 minutes. Fascinating, highly researched, and methodical explication of the mind, methods, and world-view of the violent criminal actor (VCA). Understanding what goes on in the head of the VCA significantly increases the odds of being able to survive an encounter with one if he/they ever select you as a target, and Dr. Aprill provides a full forensic tour of the dark space between the VCA's ears. 110% worth the time and money. I'd already taken Varg Freeborn's "Violence of Mind" seminar and MDFI's WAGINAO, and "Unthinkable" was the third leg of the mindset Triad. Bonus: Dr. Aprill is as quick-witted and entertaining a speaker as I've ever heard, and his genuine desire to improve your survival odds is apparent from start to finish. Take this course.
The Unthinkable lecture by Dr. William April should be a required class for all law abiding 2nd amendment adherents.
