Training Module 2 – You are the First Responder
How can you be ready as your own first responder?
The timeframe for a self-defense encounter is addressed and it shows how incidents are over in seconds when the national average for the police to respond is 10-15 minutes.

Training Module 3 – Situational Awareness Skills
Do you know how close is too close, and what is considered the “Danger Zone”? You will be surprised.
Situational Awareness skills have been used for decades by military personnel to keep themselves out of harms way and to see dangerous situations in time to respond. Learn the skills to navigate your surroundings for potential or immediate threats and develop Power Tactics against being targeted. Understand how important it is to keep your personal space when approached by a stranger.
Training Module 4 – Predator Mindset and Tactics
When a stranger asks you a question how should you respond? Would you go with someone if they brandished a weapon?
Our research on the predator’s mindset offers solutions for knowing how to deal with them. How can you win if you don’t know whom you are fighting? When criminals go to jail they “talk” and are studied by experts. We take this research and use it to teach you their strategies and common tactics. Body language and other cues to look for before someone attacks is also addressed here.
Training Module 5 - Intuition, Body Language, Verbal Defense
Do you know what body language you should use to get an attacker to stop before even choosing you as their victim?
Intuition will be your top safety skill and we will discuss how to tap into “trusting your gut”. Use verbal commands with enough command presence to dissuade an attacker. Learn the fighting stance and guard your personal space.
Training Module 6 - Defensive Skills and Hardware
Can a stun gun work through thick clothing? How many seconds does a pepper spray unit need to shoot to be effective?
You don’t have to be a black belt to learn how to use your body to fight and you will learn simple and intuitive style moves. Understand the pros and cons of pepper spray, stun guns, Tazers, defensive flashlights, defensive knives and the handgun for your personal protection. You need to know about all the options so you can decide what does and doesn’t work for you. We don’t tell you what to carry for protection, but whatever it is you must “own it” and practice.
Training Module 7 - Traveling Tips and Awareness in Public
Do you know what the safest floors to stay in a hotel are? *Is walking in the middle of a crowd or the edge of a crowd safer?
