Description

 
Course Focus: Real-World Defensive Tactics, Engagement, and Trauma Response
 
This full-day, 8-hour immersive training course is the final and most challenging test of all skills learned across the Handgun, Defensive Tactics, and Blood Control curricula. Conducted in a controlled parking lot environment, this course forces students to integrate drawing, movement, vehicle defense, threat assessment, and immediate medical intervention under intense, realistic, force-on-force pressure using Simunitions.
 
What You Will Master:
 
  • Live Scenario-Based Defensive Drills: Respond to complex, unpredictable, and evolving threats in environments such as parking lots and public spaces.
 
  • Engaging Threats While Using a Vehicle as Cover: Practice seamless transitions from draw to engagement, utilizing vehicle components for tactical advantage.
 
  • Responding to Ambush & Carjacking Situations: Test your response protocols for high-stress, rapid-onset attacks.
 
  • BCON – Blood Control & Medical Aid Under Fire: Integrate trauma care (tourniquets, wound packing) into your defensive sequence, providing aid to self or others while managing the threat.
 
  • Force-on-Force Training with Simunitions: Engage dynamic role-players to test tactical decision-making, speed, and accuracy in a non-lethal environment.
 
  • Decision-Making Under Stress: Enhance your ability to process information, prioritize actions (fight vs. flight vs. medic), and communicate effectively under extreme duress.
