In this comprehensive 5-day Missouri 40-Hour P.O.S.T. approved Instructor Program, we have designed a new program that will allow an Officer to seamlessly transition from Standing Techniques to Ground Techniques, with an emphasis on Officer Survival.

​

This seminar will award the participant with Defensive Tactics Instructor Certification that covers the following subjects:

  • Officer Entry Techniques – Closing the gap and taking control. We have found that closing the gap in a non-compliant arrest situation is a large part of the battle that Officers face. We teach DT Instructors real world techniques that close the gap quickly, and effectively seize control of an offender’s body from a variety of situations, whether it is simple passive non-compliant person, or a person that is actively attacking an Officer.

  • Physics Based Wrist, Arm and Shoulder Locks (locks that WORK!)

  • Standing Escort Techniques

  • Defenses against common attacks including punches, charges and grabs.

  • Gross Motor skill takedowns such as Single Leg, Double Leg & Body-fold takedowns as examples.

  • Manipulating a subject on the ground into a handcuffing position once a takedown has been achieved.
