What We'll Teach

Violent Encounters and The Aftermath

This lesson explains what physical and mental reactions may occur when a human undergoes extreme stress, such as during an incident involving deadly force. It also explains what you should do immediately after using force to defend yourself. Also, when law enforcement arrives, it is crucial that you conduct yourself in the correct manner and prepare yourself for the consequences, even when you are in the right.

No live weapons or ammo allowed in the training environment. Inert training weapons will be provided. Range attire is appropriate. We will be training on a matted surface without shoes. This class will be held at and co-hosted by Royce Gracie Academy of Lake Norman, in Denver, NC.

    "Every class I take with Jon Plyler of Acumen Tactical is excellent. Jon has so much experience as a teacher in law enforcement to the military and it really shows. He is also a very experienced teacher in Jiu Jitsu and we applied these techniques in defensive applications during the class. We rotated partners while on the mat so we got to see partners of varying ages and sizes. I can highly recommend Jon Plyler of Acumen Tactical if you’re anywhere near the Charlotte area. This was my 4th course with Jon and I’m scheduled for another one in March 2025. Thanks Jon!!!"
