Weapons Basics Seminar: how to defend yourself against an armed attacker wielding a knife, club or gun

This Course Could Save Your Life!!!

Defense Against an Armed Assailant

In this Weapons Course you will take the next step in learning that fear is an incredible source of power! Although there is never a guarantee, the fact is that people who are trained correctly and determined to fight for their lives do quite well against armed attackers. Much of this training involves overcoming many of our beliefs and fears concerning weapons as depicted by movies, press, and horror stories of assaults from victims who simply didn't know better.  

Common Myths:  

• MYTH:      People who attack with weapons are cold ruthless killers.
• TRUTH:     Although this is sometimes the case, most assailants and perpetrators use weapons to intimidate the victim into complying, not to kill or harm. Typically an assailant uses a weapon because he is too afraid to attack without the extra intimidation power of a weapon. 
• MYTH:      There is nothing I can do if an assailant has a weapon.
• TRUTH:     If you know some simple skills and rules you have a great chance of not only surviving a weapons attack, but also of incapacitating your assailant.  
• MYTH:      I am so terrified of weapons that I will freeze and be unable to react.
• TRUTH:     Dealing with any assailant is scary and even more so if they have a weapon. The good news is that the skills we use to fight against a weapon are actually easier than if there is no weapon. And because your ability to deal with the adrenal stress state improves with each course, your fights will be stronger than in the Basic's course.

Weapons Advanced Seminars: learning to fight with a weapon of choice 

Man has always been a user of tools. Where possible he will use a weapon as opposed to his empty hands. In these programs we will teach you how to keep, carry and effectively use your weapon of choice. Remember, the best weapon in the world is the one you have on you! 

Knives - both straight blades and curved, raptor type weapons - are easy to carry, deploy and use with the correct training. A short staff can be more effective than a sword, and like a broom, is easy to keep around the house. Self defense under duress is very different from shooting cans on the range. Mind (performance) under stress, and skill, are not the same. Understand the truth and myths behind gunfights, and pre-condition success through real-life adrenal stress training scenarios. 

Course Information:  

• What:                       3-4hr Advanced Weapons Training courses
  • Knives:
    • Straight blades
    • Curved blades - raptor type weapons
  • Japanese staff or stick fighting
  • Gun awareness - including experience with and proficiency in shooting various calibers
