It is easier and safer to handle an armed assailant with a defensive tool of your own. This battery of courses teaches the fundamental skills and strategies to utilize weapons for defense. Impact, edged and improvised weapon usage is taught versus an armed assailant or multiple attackers. This knowledge greatly increases participant’s capabilities and overall security.
Offensive Impact Weapon 1: This module introduces participants to the fundamentals of offensive weapon usage. The basis for all weapon usage, participants learn to utilize a common stick as a devastating defensive tool. Skills are rapidly built as the bio-mechanical foundation has already been built through Tier 1 and Tier 2. Participants focus on weapon vs. weapon tactics, emphasizing distance control, long range striking and disarming techniques.
Offensive Impact Weapon 2: Participants build on knowledge developed in the previous course progressing to more advanced weapon maneuvers, strikes and disarms vs. an armed attacker. Participants will also learn to integrate existing skills sets such as hand strikes and kicks into their weapon fighting skill sets.
Offensive Edged Weapon 1: This course develops advanced skills in the usage of an edged weapon as a defensive tool. Edged weapons such as pocket knives are common, legal and very easily carried, and provide an incredible advantage to the skilled user. Participants will learn how to utilize the knife against an armed attacker or multiple assailants.
Improvised Weapons: This unique course teaches participants how to recognize, select and utilize common everyday items as either impact or edged weapons. Items such as a magazine or newspaper, cell phone, pen or pencil, etc. can all be utilized effectively against an armed or unarmed attacker. Never be unarmed again.
