Training Programs

Proficiency in days, not years

From complete beginner to combat-capable in a 4-day intensive. Here's what our training programs will include.

Student Training

The 4-Day Combat Intensive

Every founding member and student will go through this core training. No prior experience needed. All ages and physical conditions welcome.

01

Body Weapons

Hands, feet, knees, elbows. Learn which strike works against which nerve, joint, muscle, or bone. Understand the autonomic body response that accompanies a strike. Know what stuns, what cripples, and how to employ your body as a weapon system.

02

Edge & Impact Weapons

Stick, sword, knife, and axe. Extending your body weapons into common hand weapons. Understanding how to defend against them and how to employ them in combat conditions. Practical knowledge for the real world.

03

Firearms Defense

The psychology of a shooter. The mechanics of a firearm in human hands. Methods of managing the discharge of a weapon. Field of fire, disarmament, and close range tactics. Practical firearms awareness without needing to own one.

04

Integration & Application

Bringing all three days together into complete survival scenarios. Real-world application, stress testing your responses, and cementing the predator mindset that keeps you alive when it matters most.
