Defensive Tactics is based on easy-to-learn modern military and police techniques and training methods put into a civilian format. This includes knowing how various threats will attack you: criminals, persons under the influence of a controlled substance, mentally disturbed persons, and other hostile persons. Hundreds of SWAT officers, Special Forces Operators, Prison Guards, and martial artists from every system imaginable have gone through this course and swear that nothing more could be added or subtracted.
	Ground Survival Teaches you how to use the ground to your tactical advantage: how to hit the deck, subject takedowns, tackle defense, 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 up your feet using the latest police and military recovery methods.
	Knife Survival: The knife is the most common weapon used by both criminals and terrorists, with the average knife attack lasting a mere 5 seconds. The techniques taught by 99% of the self-defense systems on the market today simply will not work against a real knife attack. The techniques in Knife Survival, developed by Jim Wagner, are the same techniques Jim has taught the German GSG9 (Europe’s top counterterrorist team), the U.S. Coast Guard Sea Marshals, Brazilian GATE (Brazil’s State SWAT team), California Department of Corrections, U.S. Border Patrol, Israeli Police, and dozens of SWAT teams, police agencies and military units.
	Personal protection goes beyond the proverbial bar fight. It’s about surviving modern criminal conflicts such as assault and battery, armed robbery, carjacking, gang violence, caustic chemical attacks, and other situations you may face. Survival is the only civilian self-defense course in the world that walks you through every step of a crime: how to remember the description of the suspect, how to identify and preserve evidence, contact with the police, avoiding legal pitfalls, Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome, and most important of all – courtroom survival.

	Everybody should know how to properly use a handgun and the tactics associated with them. Nobody knows when they may have to deal with a handgun, such a disarming a criminal, a terrorist goes down and drops his weapon, home defense, or you have to teach a child about gun safety. Handgun Survival is a hands-on, step-by-step introductory course for beginners that will safely familiarize you with this weapon, teach you tactics for a variety of common situations, and give you an opportunity to actually defend yourself in realistic scenarios against a suspect (Conflict Rehearsal).
	Improvised Weapons: Improvised weapons are about everyday items you don’t usually think of as “dangerous weapons”. This training means that you will NEVER BE UNARMED AGAIN. Explore the incredible ways of turning common items such as a wallet, credit card, keys, watch, belt, jacket, hat, pen, book, briefcase, umbrella, cane, and glasses into highly effective tools of protection. This information will be vital to your survival and safety. You will even know the improvised weapons in American prisons such as how they make a blade out of cigarette buds, why should you know this, when they come out of prison do you think their mind set has change? You must know your enemy.
	This lesson is to teach women how to protect themselves in a variety of all too real situations women face today: sexual harassment, sexual assault, and domestic violence.

	This course is not for children, but for parents and teachers who want to teach children about safety and self-defense. We’ll guide you through the exact lesson plans and teaching techniques for each age group – from kindergarten students to 17 year olds. In addition, this will also teach you about how to be safer as an adult in an increasingly violent world. This course is also conjoined with the Kid Safe Network . The Kid-Safe Network is a proactive, non-profit organization dedicated to the prevention of child abuse, molestation and abduction of our children. It is a national educational system that teaches and informs children and parents about "Danger Awareness". The Kid-Safe Network's national system expeditiously disseminates information about abducted or lost children. Fernando Figueroa has been a field agent for KSN since 2003.

	You will master the same technique that combat troops learn in how to survive a grenade. You will also learn how to protect others who may be with you during such a horrible attack. Should you ever get a bomb threat you will learn how to search for a bomb, how to identify a bomb or other destructive device, and how to properly evacuate the area. A bomb does not have to be planted by a hardcore terrorist, but some high school students have been known to make bombs, a recently terminated employee, a jilted lover, etc. You’ll get the same search procedures that the police and military get and much more.
	The Bouncer Survival Training course teaches crucial survival techniques; (verbal) de-escalation techniques, effective and safe separation skills, and escort and removal. We also review crowd control Defensive Countermeasure, Joint Locks and takedowns, and the Use-of-Force continuum which will illustrate what you can and cannot do legally when it comes to using your self-defense skills. Along this course you will be taught how to survive everything from stabbings and shootings to bombings.
