Armed Self-Defense Tactics (Pistol)
This highly relevant armed self-defense course is taught by Jason Kelly, a multi-faceted Defensive Combatives Instructor with 25 years of training and 14 years of experience training and supporting law enforcement agencies, elite military units, and world class athletes including champion UFC fighters, and as a coach at the 2005 and 2006 Pan American Wrestling Championships. The course teaches combative skills in a weapons based environment (introduction of gun or knife), and introduces students of any ability and experience high level, yet basic and easy to learn concepts, principles, theory and techniques. The course starts from ground zero, building the students in a step by step process; then as new or enhanced skills are developed students are put in realistic scenarios to test application of new material in dynamic environments. These environments are based on common scenarios that catch people off guard in violent situations -- attempted armed robbery while walking from a store, car blocked/surrounded at a stoplight, attempted carjacking getting gas, Tinder date goes terribly wrong, taxi driver is drunk or crazy, attempted kidnapping from sidewalk etc.
