Description
We believe that if you carry a handgun to protect yourself or others, you must have a fundamentals set of skills (essential skills) that are firmly grounded, repeatable and available upon demand. Some people talk about "cold" performance, we choose the term "on demand performance" and we believe you need to understand your current skill level, capabilities and limitations.
Prospective students should have a general knowledge of handguns and be able to safely work from a suitable concealment or duty type holster. Students can expect to spend the majority of the class time on the range in live fire exercises intended to further develop an understanding of efficient application of the skills required to produce the required hits on a given target at speed. Explanations, Demonstrations and Practical Application of those skills required are the cornerstone of how we help each student progress at a pace that helps ensure anchoring the understanding of those skills.
This 2 day training event culminates with our "testing" phase and each student will participate for a "grade" in 3 live fire qualifications. Each qualification is graded on a percentage basis with a detailed score sheet that can serve as a platform to further develop a personal training program. Our "tests" are not pass/fail, rather a detailed analysis of each student's performance.
Each detailed learning block throughout the course also features a "challenge" drill where students compete against each other in live fire drills designed to demonstrate learned skills and behavior.
Topics Covered
We very strongly believe that the fundamentals skills required to run a handgun safely and effectively are not divided between "basic" and "advanced" skills. Instead we practice what some term "an advanced application of a basic set of skills".
The act of firing a handgun involves mostly simple physics and doesn't take into account the "human element". We then place our focus on the integration and the "why" we should work to gain the greatest understanding possible of our specific interactions to create a repeatable performance with an understanding of the desired outcome.
In short, we want to demonstrate an "on demand" performance capability that meets or exceeds each individuals expectations.
Expectations and Outcomes
We get a great deal of credit for our "mental management" efforts. On demand performance requires a complete understanding of your capabilites and limitations as well as a high degree of emotional control to "keep the wheels on". We use magic talisman like tools to help with that aspect, shot timers, whistles, challenge drills (for prizes/recognition) and of course the dreaded on demand performance on the clock in front of your peers/fellow students.
In the end each student has a take home booklet with dozens of drills/qualifications and a student grade sheet detailing their individual performance on the "graded" portions of the training event. This is not a pass/fail course, rather a percentage based grade to help develope a practice routine for improvement.
