Description
This class is taking learning, from a closed loop to an open loop phase, meaning decisions and the decision making process, is based on input from role players who are giving direct resistance to the student. This class is decision making in a high stress environment and developing that process.
The goal of this course is to have students demonstrate a subconscious competence of previous technical skills as open loop resistance is applied. The student will have situations and structures that challenge the learning curve. Part of this course is conducted as live fire and part of the course will use UTM / Sims with realistic force on force scenarios.
OpFor (opposing force) is comprised of the instructor cadre; we use “win the fight” standards, imbuing survival and ‘fight through’ tactics.
This is a two day course with material that covers fundamentals of one handed manipulations and current defensive curriculum suited to structures, vehicles and force on force. This course needs to follow previous training for a successful learning experience.
RANGE FEE is separate. Please bring range fees on day 1. Cash only. $30.00 per student per day.
The students will gain knowledge of low light limitations and demonstrate techniques to the instructorʼs satisfaction.
