SUMMARY:#GETLEARNED 2023 - A Force on Force Training Event...
DESCRIPTION:A momentous training event unlike any other… this event will be 2 full days of force on force (FoF) training from some of the worlds most respected instructors in their disciplines. After seeing so many serious shooters\, who enjoyed and were passionate about training\, but had never had the opportunity to participate in any force on force training\, we decided that this event must happen. We are brining a curated selection of condensed FoF training available right here to UT\, for a weekend that is surely to build and contribute to the defensive mindset and skillset of the serious self defense practitioner. This event is open to professionals\, experts and beginners alike. \nAll training blocks will be 8 hours of training (with a 1 hour lunch break mid day)\, so plan on full\, exhausting days. Each training block will be limited to 12 students\, providing a better than industry average instructor to student ratio to maximize the learning potential. Each student will have the opportunity to sign up for 2 x 8 hour training blocks of their choice – registration for training blocks will be offered in the order of registration for the event\, so those who commit early will be more likely to get the exact blocks they prefer. That being said\, the event has been planned with only the best training available\, so all participants will receive great training. \nThis is a Non-lethal munition based training event using UTM marking rounds and other training weapons (Provided). \nNO LIVE AMMUNITION WILL BE USED.\n \n  \n2023 Training Block Options\nDefensive Scenario Based Training – Craig Douglas – ShivWorks\n \nCraig Douglas has an enormous amount of training and experience exposing students to stressful\, relevant\, and valuable force-on-force scenarios with trained role-players and hit-marking cartridges. In this block\, participants will negotiate blind scenarios and be debriefed on their performances. This is an excellent opportunity to participate in and observe others reacting to active\, thinking\, moving opponents in real-life circumstances. \n[more-reasons text=”More info about Defensive Scenario Based Training”]\nResearch (military\, commercial airlines\, medical industry etc) has proven that learning is enhanced when training is realistic. Scenario Based Training (SBT) is an immersive training environment where students meet realistic challenges and get realistic feedback as they progress (or regress)\, since everything that happens reflects the students choices. Shooting fundamentals are still a vital part of  training\, but the use of real-world scenarios is used to also enhance the students decision making capabilities. The training presents situations and circumstances that armed citizens and/or LEOs face everyday as learning experiences. \nParticipants should be confident in basic shooting fundamentals. The goal of this training philosophy is the accelerated acquisition of higher-level decision-making skills when more than a cardboard target is involved\, and there are immediate consequences. Students must apply their subject knowledge\, physical abilities\, critical thinking and problem solving skills in a safe\, real-world context. \n(8-hour class) \n\nConcepts\, techniques\, and tactics\nForce-on-force scenarios\nClass begins at 0800 and goes until 1700 (with a 1 hour lunch break)\nUTM Pistol\, ammo and face protection are included in the tuition for the course\n\n[/more-reasons]\n\nVehicle Based Force on Force – Bryan Veliz – SlyTac Training Solutions\nOver the course of the year\, Americans collectively spent 70 billion hours behind the wheel. Each week\, average drivers travel more than 220 miles. Add it up and Americans drive an average of 11\,498 miles each year- the equivalent of making two roundtrip drives from San Francisco to Washington\, D.C. One who carries a firearm every day for personal protection might want to learn how to use said firearm in and around their vehicle. \n[more-reasons text=”More info about Vehicle Based Force on Force”]\nThe training block is contextualized for the problems an armed citizen might face while inside or near a personal vehicle. Drills and/or scenarios will incorporate weapons employment while engaging threats from\, around\, over and under vehicles with emphasis on being a prepared\, thinking self defense practitioner. Students will learn more about how to avoid and better survive conflicts in and around their vehicles. \nWHAT’S COVERED:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n[/more-reasons]\n\n\n\nKnife Control Concepts – Aaron Jannetti – Endeavor Defense & Fitness\n \nA committed knife attack tops the charts of “Worst Fears in Close Violent Encounters” in and out of the self defense training world. Each attack\, attacker\, and situation is different. Training a one-dimensional defense for knife attacks can leave us ill equipped and with a false sense of security. Learning the concepts and skills to adapt is crucial to being able to survive. \n[more-reasons text=”More info about Knife Control Concepts”]\nThis one day training event will lay a foundation of concepts and training methodology to help you reframe your approach to defending a knife to be more aligned with a dynamic attack. \nIn short\, this training will super-charge your ability to execute your plan for self defense under changing variables. \n— \nWhat you get: \n\nOne 8-hour training day (8am-5pm with a 1 hour lunch break)\nAccess to the Knife Control Concepts Online Course\nTraining blade to use during the course and take home with you after the #getlearned event\n\nThe Training: \n\nFoundations– Deep dive into the KCC program\, skill building\, stand-up and ground control elements\, weapons access\, striking\, and implementing these concepts into your current training protocol.\nTesting- We’ll be applying these concepts into stress drills and scenarios to test the methods against dynamic violence.\n\nWhat to Bring: \n\nAt least one shirt and one hoodie you don’t mind being pulled on and potentially torn\nPants with pockets and belt\n\nThe Promise: \n\n\n\n\n\nYou will be given a set of tools and concepts that will greatly expand your understanding of defending against an edged weapon.\nYou will be given the tools to continue training AFTER the seminar to really implement the training.\nYou will have a ton of fun doing it!\n\n\n\n\n\n[/more-reasons]\n\nWhat’s included when you register for #GETLEARNED 2023\n\nCourse tuition (choose 2 out of the 3 available training blocks): 16+ hours of world-class training\nLunches for both training days\nTraining weapons & ammunition (as in\, you do not need to provide ANY ammunition for yourself during the event)\nTraining blade for you to take home after the event\nDelegate “swag” bag with goodies & discounts from our sponsors and useful items to use during and take home from the event\nPremium event t-shirt (choose your size when you sign up)\nAccess to future Pew Pew Solutions FoF mini training events\n\n\nInstructor Bios\n[more-reasons text=”Craig Douglas – ShivWorks”]\nCraig Douglas (aka “SouthNarc”) is the founder of ShivWorks\, a consortium of like-minded professionals devoted to training and product development in the emerging field of interdisciplinary problem-solving for self-defense. Craig retired from law enforcement after 21 years of service with the bulk of his career spent in narcotics and SWAT. Since 2003\, Craig has been teaching globally under the ShivWorks brand and has conducted coursework on entangled shooting skills in nearly 40 states and nine foreign countries. He has taught for federal\, state\, and local law enforcement agencies\, and to three branches of the U.S. military.

He has taught in three countries\, more than 30 states in the US\, and published the book How to Survive an Active Killer. His mission in life is to help people to live life to the fullest physically\, mentally\, and emotionally through coaching and mentorship.

As a Patrol Officer within in his first two years on the field he was assigned as a member of the agency’s Special Response Team where he later was responsible for instructing firearms training and qualifications. \nBryan has attended over several training courses regarding the fundamental’s\, mechanics\, and safety standards of programs and continues to train every year. Bryan continues to serve in law enforcement in addition to being the founder and lead instructor with SlyTac Training Solutions\, LLC before joining forces with Centrifuge Training\, LLC as as full time instructor for two years. \nWhile with Centrifuge Training he was responsible as a lead instructor for various programs i.e. VCQB\, injured shooter & low light applications along with managing the database and creating or revamping material. \nAdditionally\, Bryan also provided ballistic data collection for TRIARC Systems\, LLC in gathering\, recording and assimilating data for various weapon platforms. \n[/more-reasons]

SUMMARY:#GETLEARNED 2023 - A Force on Force Training Event...
DESCRIPTION:A momentous training event unlike any other… this event will be 2 full days of force on force (FoF) training from some of the worlds most respected instructors in their disciplines. After seeing so many serious shooters\, who enjoyed and were passionate about training\, but had never had the opportunity to participate in any force on force training\, we decided that this event must happen.

SUMMARY:#GETLEARNED 2023 - A Force on Force Training Event...
DESCRIPTION:A momentous training event unlike any other… this event will be 2 full days of force on force (FoF) training from some of the worlds most respected instructors in their disciplines. After seeing so many serious shooters\, who enjoyed and were passionate about training\, but had never had the opportunity to participate in any force on force training\, we decided that this event must happen. We are brining a curated selection of condensed FoF training available right here to UT\, for a weekend that is surely to build and contribute to the defensive mindset and skillset of the serious self defense practitioner. This event is open to professionals\, experts and beginners alike. \nAll training blocks will be 8 hours of training (with a 1 hour lunch break mid day)\, so plan on full\, exhausting days. Each training block will be limited to 12 students\, providing a better than industry average instructor to student ratio to maximize the learning potential. Each student will have the opportunity to sign up for 2 x 8 hour training blocks of their choice – registration for training blocks will be offered in the order of registration for the event\, so those who commit early will be more likely to get the exact blocks they prefer. That being said\, the event has been planned with only the best training available\, so all participants will receive great training. \nThis is a Non-lethal munition based training event using UTM marking rounds and other training weapons (Provided). \nNO LIVE AMMUNITION WILL BE USED.\n \n  \n2023 Training Block Options\nDefensive Scenario Based Training – Craig Douglas – ShivWorks\n \nCraig Douglas has an enormous amount of training and experience exposing students to stressful\, relevant\, and valuable force-on-force scenarios with trained role-players and hit-marking cartridges. In this block\, participants will negotiate blind scenarios and be debriefed on their performances. This is an excellent opportunity to participate in and observe others reacting to active\, thinking\, moving opponents in real-life circumstances. \n[more-reasons text=”More info about Defensive Scenario Based Training”]\nResearch (military\, commercial airlines\, medical industry etc) has proven that learning is enhanced when training is realistic. Scenario Based Training (SBT) is an immersive training environment where students meet realistic challenges and get realistic feedback as they progress (or regress)\, since everything that happens reflects the students choices. Shooting fundamentals are still a vital part of  training\, but the use of real-world scenarios is used to also enhance the students decision making capabilities. The training presents situations and circumstances that armed citizens and/or LEOs face everyday as learning experiences. \nParticipants should be confident in basic shooting fundamentals. The goal of this training philosophy is the accelerated acquisition of higher-level decision-making skills when more than a cardboard target is involved\, and there are immediate consequences. Students must apply their subject knowledge\, physical abilities\, critical thinking and problem solving skills in a safe\, real-world context. \n(8-hour class) \n\nConcepts\, techniques\, and tactics\nForce-on-force scenarios\nClass begins at 0800 and goes until 1700 (with a 1 hour lunch break)\nUTM Pistol\, ammo and face protection are included in the tuition for the course\n\n[/more-reasons]\n\nVehicle Based Force on Force – Bryan Veliz – SlyTac Training Solutions\nOver the course of the year\, Americans collectively spent 70 billion hours behind the wheel.

SUMMARY:#GETLEARNED 2023 - A Force on Force Training Event...
DESCRIPTION:A momentous training event unlike any other… this event will be 2 full days of force on force (FoF) training from some of the worlds most respected instructors in their disciplines. After seeing so many serious shooters\, who enjoyed and were passionate about training\, but had never had the opportunity to participate in any force on force training\, we decided that this event must happen. We are brining a curated selection of condensed FoF training available right here to UT\, for a weekend that is surely to build and contribute to the defensive mindset and skillset of the serious self defense practitioner. This event is open to professionals\, experts and beginners alike. \nAll training blocks will be 8 hours of training (with a 1 hour lunch break mid day)\, so plan on full\, exhausting days. Each training block will be limited to 12 students\, providing a better than industry average instructor to student ratio to maximize the learning potential. Each student will have the opportunity to sign up for 2 x 8 hour training blocks of their choice – registration for training blocks will be offered in the order of registration for the event\, so those who commit early will be more likely to get the exact blocks they prefer. That being said\, the event has been planned with only the best training available\, so all participants will receive great training. \nThis is a Non-lethal munition based training event using UTM marking rounds and other training weapons (Provided). \nNO LIVE AMMUNITION WILL BE USED.\n \n  \n2023 Training Block Options\nDefensive Scenario Based Training – Craig Douglas – ShivWorks\n \nCraig Douglas has an enormous amount of training and experience exposing students to stressful\, relevant\, and valuable force-on-force scenarios with trained role-players and hit-marking cartridges. In this block\, participants will negotiate blind scenarios and be debriefed on their performances. This is an excellent opportunity to participate in and observe others reacting to active\, thinking\, moving opponents in real-life circumstances. \n[more-reasons text=”More info about Defensive Scenario Based Training”]\nResearch (military\, commercial airlines\, medical industry etc) has proven that learning is enhanced when training is realistic. Scenario Based Training (SBT) is an immersive training environment where students meet realistic challenges and get realistic feedback as they progress (or regress)\, since everything that happens reflects the students choices. Shooting fundamentals are still a vital part of  training\, but the use of real-world scenarios is used to also enhance the students decision making capabilities. The training presents situations and circumstances that armed citizens and/or LEOs face everyday as learning experiences. \nParticipants should be confident in basic shooting fundamentals. The goal of this training philosophy is the accelerated acquisition of higher-level decision-making skills when more than a cardboard target is involved\, and there are immediate consequences.

Students must apply their subject knowledge\, physical abilities\, critical thinking and problem solving skills in a safe\, real-world context. \n(8-hour class) \n\nConcepts\, techniques\, and tactics\nForce-on-force scenarios\nClass begins at 0800 and goes until 1700 (with a 1 hour lunch break)\nUTM Pistol\, ammo and face protection are included in the tuition for the course\n\n[/more-reasons]\n\nVehicle Based Force on Force – Bryan Veliz – SlyTac Training Solutions\nOver the course of the year\, Americans collectively spent 70 billion hours behind the wheel. Each week\, average drivers travel more than 220 miles. Add it up and Americans drive an average of 11\,498 miles each year- the equivalent of making two roundtrip drives from San Francisco to Washington\, D.C. One who carries a firearm every day for personal protection might want to learn how to use said firearm in and around their vehicle. \n[more-reasons text=”More info about Vehicle Based Force on Force”]\nThe training block is contextualized for the problems an armed citizen might face while inside or near a personal vehicle. Drills and/or scenarios will incorporate weapons employment while engaging threats from\, around\, over and under vehicles with emphasis on being a prepared\, thinking self defense practitioner. Students will learn more about how to avoid and better survive conflicts in and around their vehicles. \nWHAT’S COVERED:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n[/more-reasons]\n\n\n\nKnife Control Concepts – Aaron Jannetti – Endeavor Defense & Fitness\n \nA committed knife attack tops the charts of “Worst Fears in Close Violent Encounters” in and out of the self defense training world.

SUMMARY:NPE Counter Robbery w/ Cecil Birch\, Darryl Bolke & Chuck Haggard
DESCRIPTION:Defending yourself against violent assault in a Non-Permissive Environment.\n\n\nThere are two kind of handguns that we can use for self-defense – Going to Trouble guns\, and Getting Out of Trouble guns. While we would all prefer to carry full size duty guns with multiple spare magazines (Going to Trouble guns) as our EDC set up\, the fact is that most of us cannot 100% of the time. Because of various restrictions – whether legal\, social\, or environmental\, we often have to defend ourselves with gear that may not be the best when we are shooting fancy drills on the square range (i.e. Getting Out of Trouble guns). Instead of bemoaning that truth\, we need to spend the time working on being able to run our actual carry to the best of our ability. That is what this course is all about. \nIn this class\, we will look at how to effectively shoot and manage the smaller handguns that are typical of a non-permissive environment – i.e. snub revolvers and small autos like the G43 or LCP. We will learn to maximize our performance in shooting as well as accessing and drawing these guns. We will also integrate the shooting with understanding how to recognize and deal with impending violent criminal assault\, and how to use OC spray and physical responses alongside our firearms. Most importantly\, we will put these practices into actual use the exact same way we will have to use them in the real world; NOT the artificial constraints of a flat range. \nStudents should be ready to work hard\, but everyone can go at the most appropriate pace they need. This is not a class for “operators”. This is a course for everyday folks who want to defend themselves and their loved ones from realistic threats\, and your physical condition or experience level does not matter. \nStudents will need their carry gun\, as many spare ammo carrier/loader set ups as they can manage\, a quality holster (no SERPAs or FOBUS rigs allowed)\, 300 rounds of ammo\, one blue gun and holster for the blue gun\, notebook and pen\, and an open mind. Also\, this will be an opportunity to try different carry positions such as pocket or ankle. There will also be time and opportunity to try out other small guns that the student may not have the chance to run before. \nFriday: 1800 – 2100\n\nIntro to pre-assault cues\, pre-fight threat containment and MUC\, OC use\, and live fire safety briefing\n\nSaturday: 0900-1700\n\n1st block: live fire\, familiarity with drawstroke from various carry positions\, tricks with small guns\n2nd block: MUC and reactive or proactive physical response\n3rd block: OC usage drilling and integration with verbals and movement\, congruency with physical responses\n4th block: live fire\n\nSunday: 0900-1700\n\n1st block: live fire\n2nd block: defending against the entanglement\n3rd block: moving in crowds with a gun in hand (blue gun)\n4th block: final drill/test\n\nInstructor Bios\n[more-reasons text=”Chuck Haggard – Agile Training & Consulting”]\nChuck has been active in private defensive training throughout his long career in urban law enforcement.

SUMMARY:NPE Counter Robbery w/ Cecil Birch\, Darryl Bolke & Chuck Haggard
DESCRIPTION:Defending yourself against violent assault in a Non-Permissive Environment.\n\n\nThere are two kind of handguns that we can use for self-defense – Going to Trouble guns\, and Getting Out of Trouble guns. While we would all prefer to carry full size duty guns with multiple spare magazines (Going to Trouble guns) as our EDC set up\, the fact is that most of us cannot 100% of the time. Because of various restrictions – whether legal\, social\, or environmental\, we often have to defend ourselves with gear that may not be the best when we are shooting fancy drills on the square range (i.e. Getting Out of Trouble guns). Instead of bemoaning that truth\, we need to spend the time working on being able to run our actual carry to the best of our ability. That is what this course is all about. \nIn this class\, we will look at how to effectively shoot and manage the smaller handguns that are typical of a non-permissive environment – i.e. snub revolvers and small autos like the G43 or LCP. We will learn to maximize our performance in shooting as well as accessing and drawing these guns. We will also integrate the shooting with understanding how to recognize and deal with impending violent criminal assault\, and how to use OC spray and physical responses alongside our firearms. Most importantly\, we will put these practices into actual use the exact same way we will have to use them in the real world; NOT the artificial constraints of a flat range. \nStudents should be ready to work hard\, but everyone can go at the most appropriate pace they need. This is not a class for “operators”. This is a course for everyday folks who want to defend themselves and their loved ones from realistic threats\, and your physical condition or experience level does not matter. \nStudents will need their carry gun\, as many spare ammo carrier/loader set ups as they can manage\, a quality holster (no SERPAs or FOBUS rigs allowed)\, 300 rounds of ammo\, one blue gun and holster for the blue gun\, notebook and pen\, and an open mind. Also\, this will be an opportunity to try different carry positions such as pocket or ankle. There will also be time and opportunity to try out other small guns that the student may not have the chance to run before. \nFriday: 1800 – 2100\n\nIntro to pre-assault cues\, pre-fight threat containment and MUC\, OC use\, and live fire safety briefing\n\nSaturday: 0900-1700\n\n1st block: live fire\, familiarity with drawstroke from various carry positions\, tricks with small guns\n2nd block: MUC and reactive or proactive physical response\n3rd block: OC usage drilling and integration with verbals and movement\, congruency with physical responses\n4th block: live fire\n\nSunday: 0900-1700\n\n1st block: live fire\n2nd block: defending against the entanglement\n3rd block: moving in crowds with a gun in hand (blue gun)\n4th block: final drill/test\n\nInstructor Bios\n[more-reasons text=”Chuck Haggard – Agile Training & Consulting”]\nChuck has been active in private defensive training throughout his long career in urban law enforcement.

SUMMARY:NPE Counter Robbery w/ Cecil Birch\, Darryl Bolke & Chuck Haggard
DESCRIPTION:Defending yourself against violent assault in a Non-Permissive Environment.\n\n\nThere are two kind of handguns that we can use for self-defense – Going to Trouble guns\, and Getting Out of Trouble guns. While we would all prefer to carry full size duty guns with multiple spare magazines (Going to Trouble guns) as our EDC set up\, the fact is that most of us cannot 100% of the time. Because of various restrictions – whether legal\, social\, or environmental\, we often have to defend ourselves with gear that may not be the best when we are shooting fancy drills on the square range (i.e. Getting Out of Trouble guns). Instead of bemoaning that truth\, we need to spend the time working on being able to run our actual carry to the best of our ability. That is what this course is all about. \nIn this class\, we will look at how to effectively shoot and manage the smaller handguns that are typical of a non-permissive environment – i.e. snub revolvers and small autos like the G43 or LCP. We will learn to maximize our performance in shooting as well as accessing and drawing these guns. We will also integrate the shooting with understanding how to recognize and deal with impending violent criminal assault\, and how to use OC spray and physical responses alongside our firearms. Most importantly\, we will put these practices into actual use the exact same way we will have to use them in the real world; NOT the artificial constraints of a flat range. \nStudents should be ready to work hard\, but everyone can go at the most appropriate pace they need. This is not a class for “operators”. This is a course for everyday folks who want to defend themselves and their loved ones from realistic threats\, and your physical condition or experience level does not matter. \nStudents will need their carry gun\, as many spare ammo carrier/loader set ups as they can manage\, a quality holster (no SERPAs or FOBUS rigs allowed)\, 300 rounds of ammo\, one blue gun and holster for the blue gun\, notebook and pen\, and an open mind. Also\, this will be an opportunity to try different carry positions such as pocket or ankle. There will also be time and opportunity to try out other small guns that the student may not have the chance to run before. \nFriday: 1800 – 2100\n\nIntro to pre-assault cues\, pre-fight threat containment and MUC\, OC use\, and live fire safety briefing\n\nSaturday: 0900-1700\n\n1st block: live fire\, familiarity with drawstroke from various carry positions\, tricks with small guns\n2nd block: MUC and reactive or proactive physical response\n3rd block: OC usage drilling and integration with verbals and movement\, congruency with physical responses\n4th block: live fire\n\nSunday: 0900-1700\n\n1st block: live fire\n2nd block: defending against the entanglement\n3rd block: moving in crowds with a gun in hand (blue gun)\n4th block: final drill/test\n\nInstructor Bios\n[more-reasons text=”Chuck Haggard – Agile Training & Consulting”]\nChuck has been active in private defensive training throughout his long career in urban law enforcement.

SUMMARY:NPE Counter Robbery w/ Cecil Birch\, Darryl Bolke & Chuck Haggard
DESCRIPTION:Defending yourself against violent assault in a Non-Permissive Environment.\n\n\nThere are two kind of handguns that we can use for self-defense – Going to Trouble guns\, and Getting Out of Trouble guns. While we would all prefer to carry full size duty guns with multiple spare magazines (Going to Trouble guns) as our EDC set up\, the fact is that most of us cannot 100% of the time. Because of various restrictions – whether legal\, social\, or environmental\, we often have to defend ourselves with gear that may not be the best when we are shooting fancy drills on the square range (i.e. Getting Out of Trouble guns). Instead of bemoaning that truth\, we need to spend the time working on being able to run our actual carry to the best of our ability. That is what this course is all about. \nIn this class\, we will look at how to effectively shoot and manage the smaller handguns that are typical of a non-permissive environment – i.e. snub revolvers and small autos like the G43 or LCP. We will learn to maximize our performance in shooting as well as accessing and drawing these guns. We will also integrate the shooting with understanding how to recognize and deal with impending violent criminal assault\, and how to use OC spray and physical responses alongside our firearms. Most importantly\, we will put these practices into actual use the exact same way we will have to use them in the real world; NOT the artificial constraints of a flat range. \nStudents should be ready to work hard\, but everyone can go at the most appropriate pace they need. This is not a class for “operators”. This is a course for everyday folks who want to defend themselves and their loved ones from realistic threats\, and your physical condition or experience level does not matter. \nStudents will need their carry gun\, as many spare ammo carrier/loader set ups as they can manage\, a quality holster (no SERPAs or FOBUS rigs allowed)\, 300 rounds of ammo\, one blue gun and holster for the blue gun\, notebook and pen\, and an open mind.

SUMMARY:NPE Counter Robbery w/ Cecil Birch\, Darryl Bolke & Chuck Haggard
DESCRIPTION:Defending yourself against violent assault in a Non-Permissive Environment.\n\n\nThere are two kind of handguns that we can use for self-defense – Going to Trouble guns\, and Getting Out of Trouble guns. While we would all prefer to carry full size duty guns with multiple spare magazines (Going to Trouble guns) as our EDC set up\, the fact is that most of us cannot 100% of the time. Because of various restrictions – whether legal\, social\, or environmental\, we often have to defend ourselves with gear that may not be the best when we are shooting fancy drills on the square range (i.e. Getting Out of Trouble guns). Instead of bemoaning that truth\, we need to spend the time working on being able to run our actual carry to the best of our ability. That is what this course is all about. \nIn this class\, we will look at how to effectively shoot and manage the smaller handguns that are typical of a non-permissive environment – i.e. snub revolvers and small autos like the G43 or LCP. We will learn to maximize our performance in shooting as well as accessing and drawing these guns. We will also integrate the shooting with understanding how to recognize and deal with impending violent criminal assault\, and how to use OC spray and physical responses alongside our firearms. Most importantly\, we will put these practices into actual use the exact same way we will have to use them in the real world; NOT the artificial constraints of a flat range. \nStudents should be ready to work hard\, but everyone can go at the most appropriate pace they need. This is not a class for “operators”. This is a course for everyday folks who want to defend themselves and their loved ones from realistic threats\, and your physical condition or experience level does not matter. \nStudents will need their carry gun\, as many spare ammo carrier/loader set ups as they can manage\, a quality holster (no SERPAs or FOBUS rigs allowed)\, 300 rounds of ammo\, one blue gun and holster for the blue gun\, notebook and pen\, and an open mind. Also\, this will be an opportunity to try different carry positions such as pocket or ankle. There will also be time and opportunity to try out other small guns that the student may not have the chance to run before. \nFriday: 1800 – 2100\n\nIntro to pre-assault cues\, pre-fight threat containment and MUC\, OC use\, and live fire safety briefing\n\nSaturday: 0900-1700\n\n1st block: live fire\, familiarity with drawstroke from various carry positions\, tricks with small guns\n2nd block: MUC and reactive or proactive physical response\n3rd block: OC usage drilling and integration with verbals and movement\, congruency with physical responses\n4th block: live fire\n\nSunday: 0900-1700\n\n1st block: live fire\n2nd block: defending against the entanglement\n3rd block: moving in crowds with a gun in hand (blue gun)\n4th block: final drill/test\n\nInstructor Bios\n[more-reasons text=”Chuck Haggard – Agile Training & Consulting”]\nChuck has been active in private defensive training throughout his long career in urban law enforcement.
