EFFECTS OF SURVIVAL STRESS ON PERFORMANCE looks at the relationship of survival stress and survivability. Survival stress can have a significant impact on an officers combat performance.

CONTROL PRINCIPLES is an instructor development block on how to teach attack management and subject control. Concepts include long term memory retention, biomechanical control principles, relative positioning and motor skills employment.

TACTICAL HANDCUFFING provides immediate subject control and reduces risk of injury to the officer and the subject.

PRESSURE POINT CONTROL TACTICS provide maximum control with minimum effort. As little as two pounds of finger touch pressure is needed. Effective no matter the strength of the officer.

ESCORT POSITION AND JOINT LOCK CONTROL provides the officer the ability to maintain control over subjects who have become uncooperative. The control can transition into a handcuffing application.

DEFENSIVE COUNTERSTRIKES teaches reflexive reaction to a physical attack using a strategy of blocks, punches and kicks. Used when impact weapons or firearms are not appropriate or not available to the officer.

THE SHOULDER PIN RESTRAINT SYSTEM is an effective and safe vascular neck restraint system which gives officers an alternative to the use of deadly force. This is the only medically researched and approved neck restraint system in use today. It is also a key component in ground fighting techniques that students will learn.

IMPACT WEAPON & COLLAPSIBLE BATON SYSTEM is an effective system that employs the use of nerve motor points as target areas. This reduces the potential of creating connective tissue damage and bone fractures, thereby decreasing liability.

WEAPON RETENTION & DISARMING teaches officers the skills and knowledge necessary to deal with a suspect attempting to gain control of their weapon. Officers will also be instructed in how to cope when they have a weapon pointed at them.

GROUND FIGHTING teaches officers a reliable and simple defense for situations when they find themselves fighting from the ground.
