This program gives you strong skeleton, a foundation from which to build a solid structure upon.

We are not going to focus in on X number of techniques, trying to stuff a confusing matrix of sequences into your operating system. It is our opinion, that viewing any confrontation as a simple matter of: “I see this, therefore I should select technique number 123 and fit in here” will more than likely fail under duress.

Time and time again we have asked operators to show us in a practical manner what they learned in previous defensive tactics courses. As they try to match a technique to a situation they are presented, they are often stumped when one part of the sequence they attempt to deploy is forgotten or misapplied.

As techniques become increasing complicated and exotic, the likelihood of an officer using any of them successfully is proportionally diminished. We look to simplify and remove unnecessary movements and procedures.

Therefore, we are going to present a way of looking at confrontations that will allow you to use the appropriate level of force whenever force is required, whatever that level of force is.

We are going to present from the outset themes and variations on themes that you can adapt to your personal situation as required.

Throughout the years, we have observed the following:

• Many operators do not really understand how to efficiently take no-shoot threats to the ground and keep them there without excessive force.
  
  
• Many operators do not understand how to deal with non-compliant no-shoot threats while maintaining the ability to address higher-level threats.
  
  
• Some operators are over-reacting to combative behaviors by suspects and non-threatening bystanders located in a high threat area. (i.e. juveniles, females, elderly)
  
  
• Many are fearful of basic attacks because intuitively they know that the skill set they currently possess is not adequate to meet potential threats.
  
  
• With a well-thought out, focused and properly administered program of instruction, these discrepancies can be replaced with long-lasting and repeatable competency.
  If you invest 100% of your energy and enthusiasm into our program you will leave with:

A Proven strategy

• New biomechanical tools that can be regulated at will during conflict
  
  
• Skill and confidence at a substantially higher level that brings a calmer mind
  
  
• A better understanding of how to evaluate and improve your current program
  
  
• We are not going to presumptuously tell you how to do your job in your area of expertise. It will be up to you to tailor your presentations and agency’s instruction to fit the specific rules of engagement and use of force policies mandated by federal and state law, as well as your departmental polices and procedures
