STRIKING PHASE 1 FUNDAMENTAL MECHANICS

This program is designed around a force continuum, so the civilian, law enforcement, or protection agent can escalate and deescalate their level of force depending on the threat in front of them. 

In today's society, what we use in an aggressive exchange must be visually appropriate and socially acceptable because our actions could be captured on a cell phone or a video, and we will need to explain them later.

The techniques chosen for the program fall into these requirements. Additionally, the methodology considers that we will carry concealed weaponry, whether a firearm or a bladed weapon. We understand that your weapon systems must fit seamlessly into your defensive tactics options. 

FUNDAMENTALS:

• Verbal exchange

• Posturing

• Critical distance

• Pre-attack indicators

• Assault levels

• Tactics

• Techniques of defense/offense

• If the exchange elevates to a lethal force level, the tactics allow you to seamlessly elevate from an empty hand option into your weapon system.
