I can’t tell you how much Tim & I are looking forward to the Weapons Course in November.
We do a pretty thorough rundown of knife, stick and gun in the basic course–what the tools for violence do and don’t do, how to use them to your advantage, and how to take out the armed man. The only issue there is how much time we have to spend on getting people up to speed with violence–defining it, getting you to go where a sociopath would go, training you to destroy targets… much of the basic course gets spent disabusing people of the social niceties and into tearing apart another man.
The topics covered in a typical 2-Day course include:
- Intro to Violence
- Target Assembly (identifying and destroying targets)
- Free Practice (how to take it to nonfunctional)
- Striking Assembly (how to break things with your mass)
- Grabs, Holds & Chokes
- Social-Antisocial-Asocial (when violence is, and is not, appropriate)
- Knife
- Stick
- Gun
- Multiple Attackers
Across two days, I figure we get to spend maybe four hours, or 1/4 of the total course on weapons.
At the upcoming Advanced Weapons Course, we’re going to spend the entire 16 hours on that topic.
That’s four times as much as the basic course!
And because we don’t have to spend any time on the how or why of base violence, we can literally hit the ground running and explore as many aspects of the use of tools as we can cram into those two days. And we’re planning on cramming in a lot.
We’ve got tons of information that we usually don’t have time to get into in the basic course… and even then, it’s only really useful to someone who has the basic knowledge and hands-on skill that comes from completing either the 2-Day or even the $99 Half-Day training. Either qualifies you to attend this one.
It’s going to be an absolute pleasure working with people who know what’s going on, how to get it done, and want to know more.
Did I mention I’m looking forward to this? Tim got into town last night & it’s all we talked about, so, yeah, I can’t wait.
See you in Vegas,
