Specialty Courses
Weapons Disarms
(Responses to attacks, or threats, with edged weapons or handguns.)
QUESTION: Shouldn't I just give a criminal/terrorist what they demand?
ANSWER: Maybe. Maybe not!
Deadly weapons are often used to intimidate victims into compliance. Not all criminals are intent on doing harm, but then some will kill you anyway. There are also the kinds of vicious attacks where there is no way of "talking down" the situation. Here is where "Verbal Judo" or "Tongue Fu" must give way to a physical response. Many fists have also ended up having blades in them that the victim never saw.Is fighting back worth the risk of losing your life? We should not risk our lives over mere property!
Would you rather mourn the loss of your car or have your family mourn the loss of you? Only fight if you believe someone's life is in danger. Defending against a weapon means you risk being injured or killed.
The tactics taught in this course are easy to learn and effective in real altercations. The primary skills are based on edged weapon defense skills adopted by the US Marshalls Office, other law enforcement and some military. Research is based on studies of real edged weapon attacks.
Unarmed Skills for the Armed Citizen
(Weapons Disarms is Highly Recommended as a companion to this.)
QUESTION: Why do I need this if I carry a gun? I won't let anyone get that close.
ANSWER: Bad things happen fast and up close, not 10 yds. away. If your weapon is not in your hand, when you need it, YOU MAY HAVE TO FIGHT, before you can get to it!
We may not always have our weapon with us and being armed does not make us invincible. ALL OF US are vulnerable at some time. Don't fool yourself into thinking otherwise. There is also a need to be able to handle less-than-lethal altercations. A deadly weapon is only for when you believe it is a deadly need.This course includes, but is not limited to...
Verbal Commands / Conflict Avoidance
Brief review of Realities & Legalities of lethal conflict.
Carry and Drawing methods
Weapon Retention
Unarmed Combatives
Pepper Spray Lesson
Private Lessons
Private lessons are for 1-2 people.
