SWAT/Military
Non-Lethal Control Techniques
Operators in teams today need high speed, low drag techniques
that will enhance their ability
to succeed. There is not time for complicated techniques that
slow the stack and impair a teams ability to dominate. We teach
a variety of classes that address this specific need. From simple
non-lethal control techniques to advanced use of weapons as non-lethal
subject control tools, we provide it all. Our training is unique
and effective. Most importantly however is that we realize that
our job is to add to your expertise and not try to replace it
with our beliefs and philosophies. We simply offer our ideas and
you take what works for you.
Edged Weapon Defenses
One
of the biggest dangers officers face is edged weapons. Remember,
the vest is bullet proof, not knife proof. In this class we will
work on effective and simple techniques to disarm attackers. This
as with all classes is based on using your entire body as a tool
of defense. This allows all officers to enjoy the same success
regardless of their size. We will work defenses against a variety
of attacks. You will participate both as defender and attacker.
Expandable Baton as More Than a Striking Weapon
The ASP style baton has uses far beyond what most officers are
aware. In this class we will explore and practice a variety of
simple and extremely effective techniques that can be used by
ANY officer. These techniques are designed to give officers an
alternative to using the baton as a striking weapon.
Weapon Retention
There are people that actually practice techniques to take an
officers weapon. You must counter this by training yourself in
methods of retaining your weapon. All techniques taught in this
class are simple and very effective. They are based on movement
of your center of balance and are equally effective for smaller
officers as well as large ones. We will work on both holstered
weapon retention as well as drawn weapon retention.
Non-Lethal Control Techniques for SWAT
This class will focus on a core of techniques designed for SWAT
officers encountering non-compliant subjects. When deadly force
is not warranted, teams need to gain control of individuals quickly
and effectively with a minimum of effort. All techniques taught
will be based around these principles. This will be a hands on
class where each participant will practice techniques as well
as play the role of the attacker. All techniques are designed
to be done in full gear and with a weapon. This is a high-speed
class but it appropriate for officers of all sizes.
Non-Lethal Use of Firearms as Control Tools for SWAT Teams
This class will cover 2 major subjects. Weapon retention and use
of the firearm as a tool to physically control an aggressive subject.
A grabbed weapon presents a major danger to operators in many
realms; your immediate danger of being disarmed and shot, your
teammates coming under fire from the weapon just taken from you,
interrupting the flow of the stack during the struggle, inability
to fire your weapon because of unsafe field of fire, it goes on.
A firearm can be used very effectively as a tool to physically
retrain and neutralize a subject without a round being fired.
This class will teach techniques of weapon retention for handguns,
shotguns, and MP5's. All techniques taught here will be simple
out of the box effective. You will be taught to use the attackers
own energy against them. This allows all officers, regardless
or size, to enjoy equal success.

I am willing to teach classes on any other subject you may
need. Just discuss your areas of concerns or interests and I will
design a class to your specifications.
