[SIZE=12pt]The development of an adaptive defensive mindset, effective handgun skills under stress and from disadvantaged postures, techniques for facing a drawn handgun when unarmed all combined in a single training environment; but why?

[SIZE=12pt] [/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]How can we make ourselves safer?[/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]Of all the answers to that question, how do we decide which are best?[/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]For participants in this course, a systematic approach to these decisions will be undertaken in an engaging and fast-paced format over a very full day of training.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt] [/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]Defensive awareness[/SIZE][SIZE=12pt] is rooted in realization of risk.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]Defensive preparation[/SIZE][SIZE=12pt] adds the commitment to mitigation of threats and the decision to be able to do something about it should our fears be realized.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt] [/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]It is the goal of the instructors to drag awareness of risk from the back of the mind to its very forefront, ensuring that an actual life-threatening scenario will not be the first time participants have honestly faced what will be necessary. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt] [/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]Participants in this course will be presented with some challenging truths about the world and asked to make serious and personal changes in how they prepare for that world.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt] [/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]Course components include intensive, interactive lecture on: [/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt] [/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt] [/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]Fatal Choices: Understanding VCAs and How They Identify Victims[/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt] In this fast-moving and interactive lecture participants will be led through contemporary theories and current, curated data on the process by which violent criminals select their targets for violent aggression. Particular attention will be paid to the internal mechanisms in play within the criminal psychology, the universe of signifiers around "good guy" behavior, demeanor, and attributes which may actually make selection for attack more likely, as well as considerations for responsible armed citizens to mitigate this risk. Previous iterations of this material have been presented to LE agencies and private citizen groups across the US as well as international LE educational events.[/SIZE][SIZE=12pt] [/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt] [/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt] The 5 W[/SIZE][SIZE=12pt]’[/SIZE][SIZE=12pt]s of Risk: Constructing an Effective Pre-Need Defense Paradigm[/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt] Many instructors present material on surviving physical attack and some others address the aftermath of that defensive violence. However the preparation for being attacked, what Craig Douglas of ShivWorks has referred to as the pre-kinetic phase[/SIZE], is given limited, if any, attention by the vast majority of trainers and even fewer students. This presentation will review common mental and philosophical errors made by practitioners as they plan for what they hope will never happen: a determined attack by a violent criminal intent on killing you and those you love. Attendees will be exposed to a practical method for undertaking the pre-need decision-making necessary to a sound self-defense and survival mindset, providing increased awareness and a clear path to maximize their capacity for self-protection.
[SIZE=12pt] [/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt] [/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]Practical and live fire instruction will include:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt] [/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt] Last Resort Handgun[/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]We will cover the most critical handgun skills for a lethal force encounter. These encounters will not be on our terms so our handgun skills need to be built to perform cold and on demand.[/SIZE][SIZE=12pt] [/SIZE][SIZE=12pt]Learning and mastering the fundamental handgun skills will give you confidence in your ability to defend yourself and others. We will use proven tec[/SIZE][SIZE=12pt]h[/SIZE][SIZE=12pt]niques to give you the ability to function better under stress and build a personal training program. [/SIZE][SIZE=12pt] [/SIZE][SIZE=12pt]More than anything this class will be a great learning experience and FUN![/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]We will cover:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]Safety[/SIZE][SIZE=12pt] [/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]Grip[/SIZE][SIZE=12pt] [/SIZE][SIZE=12pt]and Stance[/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]Sights and[/SIZE][SIZE=12pt]Trigger Control[/SIZE][SIZE=12pt] [/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]Draw Stroke[/SIZE][SIZE=12pt] [/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]Target Transitions[/SIZE][SIZE=12pt] [/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]Strong hand and Support hand-only shooting/ Strong hand only draw.[/SIZE][SIZE=12pt] [/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]Reloads[/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt] [/SIZE][SIZE=12pt]Open-Source Retention/Disarming[/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt] A hands-on block of instruction in the art and science of maintaining positive control of your own defensive handgun and of taking one away from an assailant when necessary.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt] No prior experience or training in defensive tactics is required, no special physical gifts are necessary and the material is presented in a from-the-ground-up approach to allow conceptual understanding and physical grasp of an intuitive, robust skill-set in a relatively short time. Please bring an inert training version of your carry pistol, if possible (red gun, blue gun, SIRT, etc.) so that carry gear may be used if applicable.[/SIZE]
We hope all interested folks will join us for 2 very full days of training on the development of defensive mindset and the pistol skills necessary to dominate against violent aggressors.
