About Model Civilian

Welcome to Model Civilian. Prepare. Protect. Prevail.

Our Founder: Model Civilian was founded by Colin Lepiscopo in 2024. Driven by a passionate pursuit of self-preservation and self-defense training, Colin focused on mastering practical skills for everyday life. As he honed his skills, his vision grew beyond personal progress—he aspired to inspire and empower fellow civilians to embark on their own journeys and to elevate their ongoing training. With much of the existing training tailored for military and law enforcement, Colin saw a crucial need: a brand dedicated to empowering everyday heroes to rise to a higher calling.

Our Mission: At Model Civilian, our mission is clear: to transform everyday individuals into empowered protectors. We equip our community with the skills and mindset necessary to defend themselves and their communities effectively. We envision a future where Model Civilian stands as a keystone brand in the self-defense industry, empowering millions to become proficient protectors of their communities. As these individuals grow and train, they too will become the inspirational heroes our world needs.

What We Offer: Upon our launch, Model Civilian will offer a range of high-quality merchandise and apparel designed to celebrate and support your journey. Our future plans include expanding into training equipment, supplements, men's hygiene products, and comprehensive online training courses. We're also excited about the potential to host in-person events that bring our community together for education, training, and camaraderie.
