Good Decisions in Fractions of a Second
General, Highly Effective Solutions to Specific Problems
This course is typically provided as a foundational level course to large corporations, small businesses, insurance companies, schools, universities, hospitals, families, and individuals. Successfully surviving a sudden incident of violence is 90% mental and 10% physical skill. This course focuses on the 90% mental while concurrently providing skills to survive the 10% physical - as a last resort.
Our Surviving an Incident of Violence Course provides a solid foundation for gaining the skills necessary to prepare for “making good decisions in fractions of a second”. This is the key to survival – the skill to be able to make “Good Decisions in Fractions of a Second”. This course brings highly critical, general skills in mastering the decision making process by bringing students a solid understanding of both themselves and their opponent - “the bad guy”.
Finally, in a business environment, the most important factors are recognizing signs of violence in advance and becoming proficient in de-escalation techniques and skills. These mastering of these skills is critical as they can be the most important factors in either calming or fueling anger levels. The end result of this course will also provide all attendees with a base “mindset” and thought process that will keep them as safe while they are away from work as much as it does while they are at work.
Ultimately this course provides for the foundational skills to be able to develop an overall plan that is based on and guided by good, solid policy.
We also cover Practical Personal Defense designed to keep your employees safe while away from work via preparation for an incident of violence primarily through awareness, avoidance, and mental strength building. If your employees are your most assets, they are just as important while they are away from work as they are while at work. This material includes 100% practical, highly effective tactics and techniques which are not dependent on what your opponent does.
And finally, in the event of the worst case of a real violent encounter, how do you prepare and ultimately defeat your attacker if required in order to saves lives! This is all about tactics!
