Every age. Every level.

Start where you are. Little kids learn focus and respect, teens learn to handle themselves, adults get fit and get capable, and anyone who carries learns to do it legally and well.

Toe2Toe Firearms & Training

Buy it right.
Carry it right.

Most gun stores sell you a firearm and wish you luck. At Toe2Toe you can choose one, learn to shoot it, get licensed to carry it and practice with it, all under one roof, from instructors who teach it every week.

Your path to licensed carry

Arkansas allows constitutional carry, but a license still matters: it covers more places, more states and more situations. Here is how most of our students get there.

  1. Concealed Handgun Carry License

    A law class of about eight hours, including roughly one hour of firearms qualification. It covers Arkansas carry law and constitutional carry.

    CHCL class

  2. Enhanced license

    Six more hours of law training that lets you carry in places a standard license does not, including college campuses and some state and federal buildings.

    Enhanced class

  3. Keep training

    A license is a law class, not a shooting class. Basic and advanced firearms courses build the marksmanship and judgment to carry well.

Curtiss Robinson

“I was the skinny kid who always seemed to get bullied growing up.”

That kid started training at twelve, joined the Army at eighteen and never stopped. Curtiss jumped as a paratrooper in Desert Storm, served in Afghanistan, and retired as a U.S. Army officer after 24 years. Along the way he spent more than thirty years in martial arts, from karate and jujutsu to kickboxing, judo and jiu-jitsu, earned a 6th-degree black belt and trained the U.S. Army National Combatives Team.

He also holds a bachelor's degree in psychology and a master's in clinical counseling, which is why his classes are about confidence and good decisions as much as technique.

  • Desert Storm & Afghanistan
  • 6th-degree black belt (Rokudan)

My son has had a great time in kickboxing! Very kind instructors who strike a good balance between being kind and empathetic, and pushing the kids to do their best.

I took my concealed carry class this past weekend here. Curtiss is a great instructor, kept the class going and engaging. A full day in class went very quick.

We love Toe2Toe!!! My two kiddos (8 & 5) enjoy both kickboxing and Jiu-Jitsu classes. The instructors are patient with the kids but guide them to learn and to respect each other.

Awesome prices and Awesome people to work with to purchase firearms. If they don't have it in stock, they can order it for you and most cases only takes a few days to get it in.

I participated in a self defense class here with a group of my friends, and it was amazing! The training was very thorough and enjoyable and Mr. Curtis and his assistants were all SO kind!

Took the basic gun training class and it was a great experience. I had never shot a gun before and they went over so many important aspects.
