Level 1 - Core Syllabus

In 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 syllabus will demonstrate the 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 the O.O.D.A process.

The 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 take downs, 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 up on your feet using the latest police and military recovery methods. This syllabus is packed with ground conflict drills.

The knife is the most common weapon used by both criminals and terrorists, with the average knife attack lasting just five 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 the 10 angles of attack, the 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. This course also covers legal issues for knives.

Personal protection is more than just learning how to handle yourself in the proverbial ‘bar fight’, it’s about surviving modern criminal conflicts: strong armed and armed robbery, car jacking, gang violence, assault and battery, caustic chemical attacks and other serious criminal attacks.

Crime survival goes way 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 court room survival. 

What would you do if you were 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 on 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 from an original Jim Wagner instructor.

Included in this syllabus are counter sniper tactics, kidnap prevention, dealing with bomb threats, hostage survival tips, travel safe guards, the terrorist attack cycle and dozens of other high risk incidents.
