Appropriate, real world self-defense for first responders.
Situational Awareness and De-escalation
Heightened Situational awareness
Know what is happening around you.
Before you step out of your unit you've begun to make informed decisions. You've begun to use the OODA Loop and your decisions are being guided using mental tools like Occam's Razor and Information Theory. Knowing where you are at in time and space using the Three Phases will empower you to make better decisions, faster.
Self-Defense for First Responders
First responders like firefighters and EMS are on the scene for very different reasons than law enforcement. With that in mind H-SAFER teaches appropriate, physical techniques that will allow you to control a subject and de-escalate using a mixture of restraining techniques and verbal judo. If necessary, we will teach appropriate responses to escalation of violence by the subject.
