What can you do to protect your daughter going off to college and living away from home for the first time?  You don’t expect your home to be invaded when you’re relaxing in front of your TV.  You don’t expect your kids to be bullied, abducted, or even worse when you send them off to school.  You don’t expect to be carjacked or physically assaulted when walking to or from your vehicle.  You don’t expect to be shot at while running errands at work, at school, or even sitting -in a movie theater. However, bad things happen to good people every day.  Instead of being blindsided and forced to react to these incidents, what if you could see them coming and even prevent them from happening?

Using your common sense and good habits, we will discuss how to:

- Lower your threat profile, making you significantly less vulnerable
- Identify and disrupt pre-attack behaviors before they convert to an attack
- Avoid, mitigate, and even defend against a physical assault using protective concepts
- Use your environment as an extension of your awareness to manage any threat
- Leverage the one denominator common to all human predators against them

- Weapons Discussion – We will discuss the various weapon platforms, their uses, effectiveness and required training necessary to safely carry and use as an effective lifesaving tool.

- Threat Management – Using “threat identification” skills, situational awareness, and professional observation skills, learn how to avoid, mitigate and if necessary defend against a real-world threat.

- Stop the Bad Guy(s) – For any predator to attack you there are three things that MUST go exactly right for him/ them to be successful. Disrupting even JUST ONE of them foils his plans and causes him to go look elsewhere for a victim. Learn exactly what these critical items are, what to look for and how they work.

- Hands On – OK this all sounds great, but what if there’s just no way to avoid or even mitigate a threat even by taking full opportunity of the 90% Advantage against a threat progression. What can I do if it DOES somehow end up progressing into a physical attack? Learn what it takes to take and keep control if you find yourself confronting a physical threat.

Comfortable attire – wear what you normally wear. Notebooks (or notepads) are very welcome. 

This is training is fun and easy to learn! You walk away with a tremendous amount of EXTREMELY valuable and useful information with very minimal physical effort.
