This seminar will focus on the need to create intensity for survival, both psychological and physical. Following the recent international attention on the execution of two U.S. Citizens, we need to take time to consider what we would do – what we could do to survive or protect our families from similar encounters.
Seminar Host Richard Fike will lead off the day discussing what it takes mentally to survive while being held as a captive both domestically and internationally. He will direct his training on several mission specific techniques designed to be what some would call “violent” in able to overwhelm single and multiple attackers determined to take your life. “We must adopt the attitude that we will not go silently into the night!” Several drills will prepare the participant to deliver these techniques with confidence, precision and effectiveness. He will also discuss proven psychological elements that are necessary to survive in what to most would appear to be a hopeless situation.
Dr. Ron Layton specializes in preparing professionals mentally and physically in methods of survival that are designed to identify and eliminate threats that operate within their environment. He will deliver a hard core two hour package that will keep you moving and thinking on your feet or off, depending on how prepared you are. His class will concentrate on the cultivation and delivery of energy, crisis rehearsal and immediate incapacitation techniques. If you have ever attended Dr. Layton’s classes, you know you are in for some high speed action and realistic training that will work on the street, the city or the jungle. Be ready to ask your questions.
Dr. Michael Dunphy will bring with him his many years of experience and training in martial arts and martial science He will offer his expertise focusing on Multiplistic Armed and Unarmed Martial Applications for Core Biomechanics. This two-hour session will focus on 3-5 core biomechanical actions with related armed and unarmed martial applications ranging from “control to lethal” in the escalation sequence. Weaponry will include applications of short stick, short blades, small hand held devices (tactical pen, tactical flashlight, folders, etc…) and some non-shoot firearms applications. Many of these core biomechanical actions are authentic warrior-based kata bunkai for those who want to know. All actions learned have classical martial roots and modern tactical applications for realistic personal protection for the purpose of survival when engaging violence. Style or martial background is irrelevant as these actions are not stylized but rooted in martial sciences where validation was battle born and not subject to the opinion or whims of any one person. Be prepared for an action filled, high energy and content rich session that will permanently alter the way you train.
Don’t miss this action packed day of training and professional association. Certificates will be presented to those who complete the training.
