GROUND SURVIVAL AND WEAPON RETENTION

Prepare to be fully immersed in this real world training seminar covering weapon based entanglements and ground survival. This 2-part course will teach you the critical skills needed to control and defend against threats in close-quarters situations involving weapons. Students will learn how to retain control of their weapon, counter an armed suspect, and neutralize a potential threat while minimizing risk to themselves and others.

Part 1: Standing Control & Pre-Assault Awareness. Students will learn to recognize pre-assault cues, employ verbal de-escalation techniques, and apply close quarter defensive tactics to control a threat. Techniques include defeating gun grabs, control within the clinch and moving to positions of advantage within the clinch to deploy your own weapon. The methodology is broken down explaining the "why" based on real world encounters.

Part 2: Ground Survival. Students will learn how to greatly increase their chances of survival while grounded versus larger/stronger adversaries. Techniques learned are derived from Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Students will also learn how to retain and deploy their weapon when grounded.

Instructors will provide simulation firearms, gloves and face protection to ensure safe, realistic training under controlled conditions. This course is ideal for law enforcement officers, security officers, concealed carry permit holders, and anyone interested in personal protection.
