It is vital information for anyone serious about their medical training, those who may respond to disaster areas, those who consider themselves properly prepared for a collapse of services, or those who simply have a desire to get the most medical training possible.

    This course will cover:

    - Female anatomy before, during and after pregnancy

    - Physiological birth (how baby moves down birth canal)

    - Supplies to have on hand during birth

    - What is and is not an emergency during birth

    - Non-pharmaceutical pain management

    - Managing birth emergencies without medical professionals

    - Recovery needs

    Course Description:

    If you’ve taken our Defesive Rifle Level 1 (AR) course, you qualify for this level 2 course. Ready for a fast paced day to take your skills to the next level?

    Research and our own experience in our Force-on-Force classes show one of the most common injuries in a fight are injuries to the hands. If you take one of your hands out of the fight, can you still properly operate your weapon?

    This course will take the skills you learned about operating your weapon, reloading, and clearing malfunctions, and force you to do all these things with one hand out of play. In addition, we will work on shooting from compromised positions.

    In addition, this course will combine Moving & Shooting skills, where you will learn how to effectively shoot while moving.

    Standing still in a gunfight will get you killed. You are either pressing the attack, retreating, moving toward cover, or moving toward an objective. Being able to manipulate your weapon one handed, weak handed, and while moving are vital to your success. This course will make extensive use of footwork, weapon control, and shot placement while on the move.

    Equipment Required:

    • AR Style Rifle

    • Sling (Single, Two, or Three Point is fine)

    • 3 Magazines

    • Magazine carry method

    • Approximately 350 rounds of ammunition

    • Eye and Ear protection

    Prerequisites:

    Defensive Rifle Level 1 (AR)

    If you have attended an AR rifle course at another facility where you are familiar with all operations and clearing all malfunctions you will be accepted.

    Notes:

    Open to ages 14 and over when attending with a parent.

    About This Course:

    Violent encounters usually happen in close. When an attacker is close and using a weapon, the time you have to react is greatly reduced. However, your options for defense are often much greater if you know how to properly control the situation.

    Naval Special Warfare members are experts at conducting extreme close quarters combat. This course stems from many of the same techniques.

    In this course you will be taught fighting at zero distance with empty hand, blades, impact objects, and finally with firearms.

    You do not have to be an expert at any of the weapons prior to attending, nor do you have to be a martial artist. This course will show you effective, direct techniques.

    This course will use SIRT feedback training handguns for the force-on-force portion.

    Equipment Required:

    Comfortable clothes for working both standing and on the ground

    Safety glasses

    Holster to carry your handgun like you would in real life.  This course is not for battle belts etc unless you use one of those daily.

    Prerequisites:

    This is one part of a six part series.  You can attend them in any order.  Upon completion of all 6 courses you will receive a special commemorative T-shirt.

    Note:

    This is an indoor course

    The course is physical in nature, but will be adapted to your fitness level. You do not have to be in excellent shape to get high value from this course.

    Instructor:

    This course is taught by a former Navy SEAL (Verification upon serious inquiry)

    About This Course:

    We want to think our church is a place of refuge where we can safely grow a relationship with our God, family, and fellow congregation. Unfortunately, churches are quickly becoming one of the most targeted places for violence.

    Many churches have started safety or security teams, but they often lack the ability to give proper training and guidance to the team members. In too many instances the church board simply finds the person in the congregation who happens to be a police officer, tags them to develop a security plan, and then opens it up to volunteers. While this is certainly better than having nothing in place, this approach can leave many holes in a fully comprehensive security plan.

    Getting a full team together to offer training has issues. People have complicated schedules. Training facilities are limited. Training courses may offer some of the base skills, but they are not tailored to the church environment.

    While we offer full advisement, planning, and training packages to churches, we found many other instances where individual safety team members understand it is “up to them” to get the training required. This course will help individuals who have been tasked to serve their church in a security or safety team role to be better prepared. In addition, several topics will be discussed they can take back to their organizations to help implement a more comprehensive plan.

    Topics Covered:

    Situational Awareness before, during, and after the service

    De-escalation techniques for church environments

    Firearms and other weapons considerations

    Safeguarding the offering and financial contributions

    Protecting the children

    Medical issues, fires, weather events, and other safety emergencies

    Legal liability

    Equipment Required:

    Notepad and Pen

    Prerequisites:

    None

    Notes:

    This course is primarily aimed at individual safety team members but will help guide the basis for an overall church plan.

    This is a fast paced course with many topics covered

    Follow-on training is available to go deeper into each topic

    Price:

    $95

    Research and our own experience in our Force-on-Force classes show one of the most common injuries in a fight are injuries to the hands.  If you take one of your hands out of the fight, can you still properly operate your weapon?

    This course will take the skills you learned about drawing your weapon, reloading, and clearing malfunctions, and force you to do all these things with one hand out of play.  In addition, we will work on drawing from compromised positions and introduce you to the concepts of reactionary shooting (shooting through the draw without a sight picture).

    In addition, this course will combine Moving & Shooting skills, where you will learn how to effectively shoot while moving.

    Standing still in a gunfight will get you killed.  You are either pressing the attack, retreating, moving toward cover, or moving toward an objective.  Being able to manipulate your weapon one handed, weak handed, and while moving are vital to your success.  This course will make extensive use of footwork, weapon control, and shot placement while on the move.

    Equipment Required:

    • Semi-Automatic Handgun
    • Holster (NO Serpa Holsters due to insurance regulations)
    • 3 Magazines
    • Magazine carry method
    • Approximately 350 rounds of ammunition
    • Eye and Ear protection

    Prerequisites:

    Defensive Handgun Level 1.

    About This Course:

    In many areas, assailants prefer using bladed or pointed weapons. Additionally, there are places where carrying a firearm is not permitted, but you may be allowed to carry a knife for self-defense.

    Most knife fighting or knife defense classes resemble a choreographed dance more than practical training for real encounters. Such encounters are often ambushes, typically brief but always brutal. Your training needs to focus on the actual techniques employed by most attackers.

    This is not a martial arts training course. It is a hybrid-style, reality-based system with techniques you can apply immediately.

    Topics Include:

    • ·       Multiple Angles of Attack
    • ·       Footwork and Distancing
    • ·       Direct and Efficient Strikes
    • ·       Clinch and Control
    • ·       Simplicity and Adaptability
    • ·       Mindset and Awareness

    This course is focused on practicality and is designed with methods to adapt to various situations, opponents, and personal fitness, skill, and size.

    Equipment Required:

    • ·       Eye protection
    • ·       Groin protection for males and breast protection for females is optional but recommended
    • ·       Wear a shirt you don’t mind getting destroyed.  It probably won’t, but you never know.
    • ·       Training knives will be supplied, but you are welcome to bring your own

    Prerequisites:

    • ·       None
    • ·       This class is geared toward the individual with little to no martial arts or fighting experience.
    • ·       If you have martial arts experience, you will still benefit by learning the additional nuances of this style.

    Special Note about Physical Condition:

    You do NOT have to be in great shape, be strong or particularly fast. A 100 pound woman can drop a man twice her size using the principles taught. That's not hyperbole, and will be demonstrated in class.

    About This Course:

    Active Shooter Situations can happen anywhere. Schools, Malls or Nightclubs.

    Police will respond, but in the meantime how many deaths will occur? If your child, spouse, or loved one is in the path of gunfire, will you respond to stop the killing?

    Having the will to confront the shooter is one thing, but doing so in a way that you prevent innocent deaths, including your own takes a specific skill set. Knowing what to do when law enforcement does arrive is vital. The 540 degree principal, threshold evaluation, movement toward threat, and friendly link-up are just some of the skills you will learn in this training.

    We will start with an understanding of where these events might occur, how to respond, and end with force-on-force drills to let you practice each skill.

    If you are a CCW holder and routinely carry your weapon, this course is a "must attend" for you.

    If you are a first responder, this course will give you valuable insights in how to respond yourself if you are off-duty.

    Fully applicable for Civilians, Fire Fighters, LEO, and EMS.

    If you are someone who thinks it is as easy as just shooting the bad guy, you definitely need to come to this course.

    If you think you will always get shot by the police in this situation, you definitely need to come to this course.

    Equipment Required:

    No live fire ammunition required. All force-on-force equipment will be provided

    Prerequisites:

    None

    Notes:

    This course will run from 10-5 on Saturday and 10-4 on Sunday. If you are interested in lodging at discounted rates, contact us for details.

    This course is open to ages 14+ as long as a parent attends.

    $295
