SITUATIONAL AWARENESS and RESPONSE

    The S.A.R. Program ™ encompasses the principles and training for defense of the individual and family INSIDE and OUTSIDE of the home. The result is a conditioning of the mind to understand and evaluate violent individuals and react to an imminent violent attack.  The S.A.R. Program is composed of two course modules; Defensive Intelligence ™ and Defensive Tactical Response ™.

    S.A.R. ™ begins with the DEFENSIVE INTELLIGENCE ™ or DI module.  Defensive Intelligence ™ is a comprehensive journey into the anatomical, neurological, psychological, and physiological aspects of violence, the violent mind and the tactics of violent predators designed to steal your trust or gain the element of surprise.

    You'll learn why some people easily resort to violence and how to see the signs of conditions such as alexithyism or other conditions and how to counter the mental tactics they are capable of employing because of a lack of empathy.  You'll gain an understanding of the psychological and physiological aspects of violence from both sides of the experience. 

     Defensive Intelligence incorporates the use of role playing and is a very visual and vocal evolution.  This is an academic course that does not include the use of or training with firearms.  Instead, it's purpose is to teach you to develop your Situational Awareness to be more able to avoid a lethal situation. This module wipes away the facade the media has plastered over reality and awakens you to the true frequency and nature of the violence you may encounter. 8 hour course of instruction.

• In the United States there are 75 rapes per hour, more than one per second

• 70 children are murdered every week in this country...70;

• Approximately 75% of all rapes are committed by non-strangers

• The leading cause of death for women in the workplace is murder

• You could fill a jumbo jet with women and crash it every month and it would not surpass the number of women killed monthly by a husband or boyfriend

• One of every three women will be the victim of some form of sexual assault.  It's time to stop ignoring it.  It's time to stop excusing it away as unpredictable. 

• IT'S NOT UNPREDICTABLE and it's time to be proactive.  Reactivity has gotten a lot of people killed.

    DEFENSIVE TACTICAL RESPONSE ™  or DTR:  The DTR module is unlike any unarmed/armed defense course available to the public.  This Is the missing component of concealed carry.  No one is teaching what to do if the attack is too fast or too close to draw your gun or what to do to counter and survive a home invasion scenario. This course teaches hand to hand tactics developed by former and current military special operators. This is not a course for fighting it out.  Instead, it was developed to immediately repel an instantaneous physical attack while carrying swim gear, ammunition, weapons, communication gear, etc.,  and withdraw to fight another day; much like carrying a bag of groceries, briefcase, purse, etc..  The typical Special Op's team is often a small contingent who would be quickly decimated if discovery were to produce a typical "Hollywood" firefight while deep into hostile territory.  The complicated grappling and theatric 'moves' or 'holds' that look really cool have no place in a real-world instantaneous attack.  The DTU course teaches the not-so-cool looking, but effective tactics that will buy you the needed time to escape or draw your gun (if you have a CCW permit) by understanding the human anatomy and exploiting it's weaknesses with the proper instant physical response.  These are not police defense tactics designed to subdue a subject for arrest.  This is designed to immediately stun the aggressor to facilitate escape or the deployment of a weapon if a lethal threat exists.

    The paradigm shift of this course is that it is not complicated or physically extreme and does not require years of training to become effective. There are not multiple levels that you have to pay your way through.  This is simply an efficient and effective, cut the chaff technique that has been in use as the defensive tactics program for units like Naval Special Operations Teams since the late 1990's. Most military operatives are only in the service from 4-6 years.  That is why this course was developed; to get a team member operationally trained while there is still enough time left in their enlistment to utilize them.  This course also exposes some common myths about fighting and the so-called tactics taught in some self defense classes. 

This module incorporates role playing, light to moderate physical contact, the use of inert training weapons and is a very visual and vocal evolution.  40 Hour Course of Instruction
