I had the opportunity to take this class in VA earlier this year, and it is hands down worth every dime, and every second of time. It is one of very few classes, to my knowledge, actively addressing movement and structure issues for the individual or civillian context.

Course Description:
The ShivWorks Armed Movement in Structures (AMIS) course is a twenty hour block of instruction focusing on negotiating movement problems within structures with limited or no resources. Realizing that
moving through a structure that contains armed hostiles, perhaps by ones self, is probably the most dangerous task one can undertake, the best options for winning a confrontation are presented with the qualification that there is no safe way to do this. This is not a live fire class, all training will be conducted in actual structures, not shoot houses. You will be testing what you learn against thinking breathing, moving opponents.
Topics covered include:
Day One (12 hours)
Viewing the environment in terms of the unseen
Vertical, Horizontal, and Diagonal planes of visual obscurement
Distance variables and the visual apex
Threshold evaluation
Dynamic and Deliberate movement
Room Entry factors (known versus unknown)
Minimizing multiple exposure
Modifying the fighting platform to conform to cover and concealment
Re-setting/Disrupting the adversarys OODA loop
Chalk board exercises
Dry-runs
FoF evolutions
Low-light module
Day Two (8 hours)
Practical Exercises for egress, search, compliant subject considerations, and third-party rescue
Equipment Required:
Airsoft pistol, airsoft ammunition, wrap around eye/face protection suitable for Airsoft and man-marking
cartridges, holster, groin protection, flashlight.
About The Instructor:
Southnarc served in the US Army Rangers before entering law enforcement. He is currently the commander of an inter-agency drug enforcement task force and a SWAT Team leader on the Gulf Coast. For a number of years he did undercover drug work, resulting in a number of serious physical assaults on him. These assaults included rip-off robberies, much like the robberies private citizens fall victim to every day. Southnarc is one of the most analytical trainers in the business, and as a result of these incidents he made a thorough study of Pre-Assault Indicators, Weapon Access During an In-Progress Fight, Empty Hands Skills to escape from a grappling attack or multiple assailants, and more.
