Defensive TacticsIn a real fight you are going to rely on only a handful of simple strikes and blocks to survive. Defensive Tactics is based on easy-to-learn modern military and police techniques and training methods. This step-by-step program will demonstrate all three Threat Zones, conflict stances, movement, and arm strikes using the Jim Wagner Piston Concept, as well as clearly defining the concept of Stopping Power. Other core skills include arm blocks using the angle principle, effective leg strikes and counters, and how to properly head butt someone. Legal issues dealing with the Use-of-Force is covered along with the Assault Cycle and O.O.D.A. Process.
Ground SurvivalThe ground is the last place you want to be during a real fight, because you give up mobility and the conflict element of offence. Should you end up there, Ground Survival teaches you to use it to your tactical advantage; how to hit the deck, subject takedowns, tackle defence, the Ground Conflict Position, and how to generate powerful arm strikes from the ground. More important, you’ll be shown how to evade and escape, protect against weapons attacks, how to use the environment to your advantage, and getting back on your feet using the latest police and military recovery methods. This course is packed with ground conflict drills.
Knife SurvivalThe knife is the most common weapon used by both criminals and terrorists, with the average knife attack lasting a mere 5 seconds. Defending against this gruesome tool requires an understanding of how today’s prison inmates, criminals, terrorists, martial artists and elite military units use them. Knife Survival will take you step-by-step through 12 angles of knife attack, the 8 primary blocks, the proper grip, the life-saving Jim Wagner Knife Disarm Rule, and proven conflict drills that will increase your speed and reaction time; the feeding drill, one-for-one drill and the freestyle drill. This course also covers legal issues for knives.
Crime SurvivalPersonal protection is more than just learning how to handle yourself in the proverbial “bar fight”. It’s about surviving modern criminal conflicts; strong arm and armed robbery, carjacking, gang violence, assault & battery, caustic chemical attacks, and other felonious attacks. Crime Survival goes away beyond any other self defence programme by including step-by-step instructions in how to provide protection to others, victim rescues, the Jim Wagner Gun Disarm Rule, and surviving multiple attackers. More important, you’ll learn all about Threat Assessment, “target hardening”, police contact, evidence identification, and courtroom survival.
Terrorism SurvivalWhat would you do if you’re caught in the middle of a grenade attack, or if a co-worker snaps and goes on a shooting spree, or you find yourself in the middle of a Serin gas attack in the underground? In Terrorism Survival you’re not just going to hear a lecture about these things, you’re going to get detailed step-by-step instructions that can only come from an expert in the field, Jim Wagner, a former counterterrorist with the US Government. Included in this programme are counter-sniper tactics, dealing with bomb threats, hostage survival tips, travel safeguards, the Terrorism Attack Cycle, and dozens of high-risk incidents.
Conflict ConditioningThis unique course offers the self-defence student and the instructor alike intense exercises, drills, and training concepts that will condition you or your students, for actual conflict – both mentally and physically. The material comes from elite military and police units from around the world, as well as dozens of martial arts systems. You’ll learn German counterterrorist strength exercises, French Foreign Legion punishment drills, Apache Indian warrior test, Israeli Special Forces boiler pressure drills, U.S. military conditioning, and more. Everything you learn in this course can be duplicated for your personal training or for lesson plans.
Improvised WeaponsThis course truly adopts the U.S. Marine Corps Martial Arts Program (MCMAP) motto One Mind Any Weapon. We’ll teach you to use any object or weapon, other than a firearm and knife, to defend yourself. From a broom in a building to a rolled up magazine aboard an aircraft you’ll learn the 12 angles of attack, target acquisition, and the strengths and weaknesses of each weapon system; flexible weapons, throwing weapons, long and short impact weapons. You’ll also get a look into the criminal mind and see how prison inmates make various improvised weapons.
Women’s SurvivalThis course is designed to teach women how to protect themselves in a variety of conflict situations; sexual harassment, sexual assault, and domestic violence. We’ll take you step-by-step through the 16 hour Reality-Based lesson plan and demonstrate the techniques needed to teach women (from 14 years old and up) for real-world attacks. This course goes way beyond “punching and kicking”, but also goes into Situational Awareness, home/car/travel security, how to detect a stalker, police contact, putting the attacked behind bars, and more.
Children’s SurvivalOnly open to certified Reality-Base Level 1 Instructors, this course is not for children, but for those adults who want to teach children about safety and self-defence. We’ll guide you step-by-step through the exact lesson plans and techniques for each age group- from kindergarten to middle school. You’ll learn how to educate parents in how to better protect their children, which will also help you promote your self-defence school. Jim Wagner gained his experience in teaching children when he was a D.A.R.E. Officer (Drug Abuse Resistance Education and Violence Avoidance) trained by Los Angeles Police Department.
Handgun SurvivalThis course (only offered in the U.S.) teaches you how to use handguns in tactical situations, using non-lethal air guns that fire 6mm plastic projectile accurately up to 21 feet/7 meters. Should you ever be in a position to disarm a criminal or terrorist in a self-defence situation, or you have a gun for home or business protection, you’ll know the standard shooting positions, how to search a building, subject confrontations, plus you’ll learn gun and range safety. This course does not qualify instructors to teach live-fire courses, but will make the instructor safer and more confident when conducting Conflict Rehearsal scenarios with air guns.
