Combatives and Weapons Integration
This is a 8 hr course that provides the client with a foundational understanding of self protection techniques and tactics that can prepare you for dealing with and surviving violent assault. The class has a foundation in wrestling and Jiu-Jitsu and is for any practitioner of any body type or age. This course is on the physical side but is light enough that anyone can participate.
Curriculum:
MUC – Managing Unknown Contacts – this specific curriculum comes from Craig Douglas of Shivworks with his permission and is likely the most important part of the class. It teaches you how to manage encroachment of unknown individuals in a street environment, malignant or benign. Key to this is awareness, and verbalization and de-escalation techniques that help you avoid conflict. These techniques and tactics will likely help you be deselected as a victim in the first place. You win every fight you avoid.
Default Position – Dealing with a sucker punch, Basic clinch wrestling for weapons based environment , How to draw a weapon in an entangled fight, Basics of dealing with a knife attack – Grounded – exposure to being grounded, how to move and maintain distance, and how to properly get up during an altercation, Basic escapes from the bottom.
Validation – There will be two Evolutions (Evos) validating the lessons learned in the training, one will be from the standing position and one will be from the ground both in a weapons based environment. Instructors will maintain that this is light (30-40% max effort) and not full contact for safety, the intent is to learn, build confidence, and affirm what the client has learned during the course.

Holster and Blue Gun (if client does not have we can loan)
