Active Shooter Response for Businesses
It’s an unfortunate but necessary evil in the world we live in today that we must prepare for events such as Active Shootings in the workplace. In a 2015 study conducted by the FBI it was shown that over 70 percent of active shootings occur in a commercial business or an educational facility. And with […]
Eyes Down- The Perfect Victim
Over the years of training/teaching to so many people of all walks of life, one of the terms that often comes up is “Situational Awareness,” or “Environmental Awareness.” These terms are very closely related and fall under a larger term often used; “Conflict Avoidance.” In simple terms, Conflict Avoidance refers to habits, behaviors and/or tactics […]
It’s Not An “Assault Rifle!”
A hot topic in today’s news is gun control vs gun rights.

Cut the Bull***t!
Not a day goes by that we don’t get some question about which blade is best for self defense, or how to pick an everyday carry (EDC), or karambit vs fixed blade. As always, we are happy to help inquiring minds. But… the fact of the matter is that if you aren’t properly and constantly […]
Controlling The Odds!
One of the most popular S2 Course amongst law enforcement is our Control and Escort course. This course is all about gaining control of a non-compliant subject and moving them to either off the premises, or into hand-cuff position. But that isn’t really that special. What makes this course very unique is the training framework. […]
Holstering Your Skills!
One of the most overlooked component in firearms training is holster work! As shooters and gun enthusiasts, we LOVE our range time. Nothing beats the smell of burnt gun powder behind the audible harmony of rounds going down range. I get that too! Keep in mind what you are training for! You might be […]
