Areas of Training
SITUATIONAL AWARENESS & DEFINING REAL VIOLENCE
Situational awareness and pre-indicator education are paramount. Violence and crime in our world is ever growing and evolving. With the consistent introduction of varying violent acts, daylight criminals, mob mentality and growing lack of basic respect, the opportunity for crime and violent acts grow. Learning to tap into, listen, and then act upon the empathetic nervous system and retrain the elastic mind is where 90% of violent acts can be avoided.
EVASION / ESCAPE / CONCEALMENT / COVER
Training the mind and body to work as one, under duress, adrenal dump, and the “fight or flight” response is the next phase in protecting oneself, associates, or team members. Learning to use one’s heightened senses during these mental states, to acquire concealment or cover, and use the environment as a means of defense. Learning to identify and constantly move to “higher” ground, is an important skill set in any potentially violent situation.
DE-ESCALATION, VERBAL JUDO & TACTICAL COMMUNICATION
De-escalating a potential physical confrontation, gaining verbal compliance, or enforcing procedural demands are the next line of defense in a high percentage of potentially violent interactions. Gaining a psychological advantage, once a threat is identified, through learned verbal strategies and physical demeanor, are the last lines of non physical compliance, defense, and safety strategies. These skills alone can be the difference in a violent situation or a peaceful interaction.
FRINGE SUSPECT: THE PSYCHOLOGICAL & PHYSICAL READ + ACTIONABLE SKILLS
Demystifying the non compliant, potentially deadly, individual or group, and acting/responding in an operator safe + suspect controlled manner is a priority skill set. We apply known and sensory adaptive techniques to “read” the potential threat through pressure tested skill development. When we engage, through action or reaction to the “read”, it is with high percentage control tactics, safely utilizing gross motor skills unarmed & armed.
DIRECT COMPLIANCE, PERSONAL PROTECTION, & SELF DEFENSE TECHNIQUES
Utilizing an “opportunistic” approach, and incorporating biomechanics, kinesiology, and psychology principles to the Force Continuum structure, ensures high percentage control and compliance from any one or more assailants. Techniques are derived from a myriad of formal martial art training and pressure tested, modern tactics training. Our training programs meet & exceed national LE & Mil specifications and requirements.
