This 3 day (30 hour) GRAHAM COMBAT™ PERSONAL DEFENSE COURSE introduces a sound platform for developing personal defensive combat skills. This course is an intensive and immersive course on recognizing and identifying danger cues, how not to be a victim and when needed, successful strategies for winning the fight. Training time focuses on defensive skills for concealed pistol, basic defensive knife skills, basic defensive empty hand skills, communication, and basic trauma first aid. These fundamental defensive combat skills are developed further through the added integration of low-light training and vehicle operations. The majority of shootings occur in and around vehicles, homes, and structures during the hours of darkness and this course teaches you the operational skills necessary to overcome adversaries in a reduced or no-light environment.
This course is not a beginner’s level course, but if you have a concealed pistol license and take the defense of yourself and your loved ones seriously, then this course is for you. Based upon the operational concepts taught within the Federal Air Marshal Program, military special operations units, and covert operative training, this course stresses that although your mind is your greatest weapon, it’s your hands and feet that will solve the majority of your conflicts. This course stresses both speed and accuracy with any weapon system within a high-stress, dynamic active threat-simulated environment.
This course reinforces PERSONAL DEFENSE combat applications through intensive repetitive drills, dynamic threat engagements, and live fire scenarios. If you’ve never been taught what to do before and after being bound, duct taped and stuffed into the trunk of a car then you’ve not been through the PERSONAL DEFENSE COURSE. This course is unlike any other.
