B-rdy Military Challenges (BMC) is a one-day individual multigun competition based on the B-rdy Military Combat Shooting (BMCS) concept. Competitors face five scenario-based stages that are completed in one continuous run — once the match starts, shooters move through all stages without any opportunity to change their gear setup, reload magazines, or adjust equipment between situations. This format creates an intense and realistic experience, requiring careful planning of ammunition, movement, and tactics from start to finish.
Stages test proficiency with both rifle and pistol, shooting from various positions, moving between stations, and performing tasks under time and physical pressure. They incorporate cover, obstacles, vehicle mock-ups, and other elements to replicate real-world tactical conditions. Scoring values accuracy, speed, and tactically sound, safe execution.
WHAT TO EXPECT
BMC is a fast-paced and high-intensity format, where competitors move non-stop from the start line to the finish through five distinct stages. You can expect:
- Dynamic shooting with rifle and pistol on a single continuous course, with smooth weapon transitions.
- Simulation of real tactical scenarios using cover, barricades, vehicle mock-ups, and other props.
- Shooting on the move and from various positions — kneeling, prone, and improvised supports.
- Uninterrupted competition flow with no chance to adjust gear or refill magazines between stages.
- Physical challenges — movement across the range, gear handling, casualty simulation (TCCC), and other non-shooting tasks.
Each stage is unique and demands a mix of accuracy, tactical thinking, and the ability to manage stress and fatigue.

B-rdy Military Challenges features a single Full Gear Division — competitors start with complete tactical gear according to the official Competitor’s Equipment List. This list includes mandatory and recommended items to ensure safety and the realistic nature of the match.

PROFILE OF A SUCCESSFUL PARTICIPANT
A successful BMC competitor demonstrates safe and effective handling of both rifle and pistol in dynamic, scenario-based stages completed in one continuous run. They are capable of engaging targets while on the move, from various shooting positions and simulated cover, and under physical or time pressure. They can tactically plan the entire match from start to finish to achieve the optimal balance between speed, accuracy, safety, and efficient use of their equipment and ammunition.They are skilled in weapon transitions, can resolve common malfunctions under stress, and move safely between shooting positions. They understand the principles of operating within stage boundaries, follow range officer commands, and act in full compliance with competition rules. The participant is prepared to further develop their abilities in dynamic and tactical shooting disciplines through systematic training and performance measurement aimed at long-term improvement.
REFERENCES FROM COMPETITORS
Hi Sefa, I thought I already knew a little bit about shooting. I had taken several courses at competing companies and participated in a few LOS and IPSC competitions. But after the first lesson, it was obvious that I was wrong. I didn’t expect so much new information, and the instructors’ approach was actually very interactive and individualized the entire time. With each lesson, the amount of new information increased. Everything follows logically, and the B-rdy methodology is clearly based on practical experience. I like that the system is universal. The class included people from the armed forces, IPSC shooters, and hobbies, and everything is trained. I definitely recommend the course and plan to go through it again. –Honza N.
It’s clear that you’ve worked out the course down to the smallest detail. Great instructors who can immediately demonstrate everything they teach in practice. I liked the teaching system, where we had regular three-hour lessons and there was time to practice everything. Each new lesson began with a review of the previous one, so even if I couldn’t make it one time, it wasn’t a problem to catch up on the covered material. I also appreciate the study materials that were sent to my email after class. This made my preparation a lot easier. You guys are great, and I’ll definitely be coming back for the rifle course. –Pavel Č.
Your course should be mandatory for all gun license holders. The instructors’ great approach and well-developed system are something I haven’t seen anywhere else in the Czech Republic. Written debriefings for each lesson, recommendations on what and how to train – simply fantastic. The best part was the model situations with FX ammunition, where you can try everything out under a little stress. That’s when it became clear why you teach things the way you do. I would recommend opening more classes at once so that if a certain date doesn’t work, you can go to a parallel class to make up for the lesson. Thanks, and see you at the rifle course. –Jakub P.
Thanks again for the great training and for letting me join even though I hadn’t taken the previous classes.
I’ve reevaluated my schedule for the work week, and I’ll make sure I can attend. I hope I’ll have the opportunity to train with you again. –Petr J.
Thank you very much, it was a bit challenging but great, we found out that we actually know almost nothing😅, I was still absorbing it over the weekend, yesterday we went through the movements, handling and adjusted the grips. –Pavel M.
In my opinion, this is a mandatory course for anyone who wants to use a weapon for self-defense. If you want to collect certificates, look elsewhere. If you want to learn how to shoot, don’t hesitate to sign up. You won’t regret it.. –Michal P.
