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.
