  • Defensive Grappling & Counter-Assault Techniques: Learn effective, survival-based grappling principles to create space, escape holds, and transition from physical defense to a decisive tactical advantage.
 
  • Multiple Attacker Defense Strategies: Introduction to movement and positioning strategies for managing and disengaging from more than one threat.
 
  • Simunitions-Based Force-on-Force Training: Engage in high-stress scenarios against role-players to test your integrated skills in a realistic, non-lethal environment.
