Real Life" Defensive Force on Force Training weekend!

We have had several requests from students in the mid western part of the state wanting to attend a Force on Force class. So we have made arrangements to hold an “open to all” “Force on Force” weekend training event at the Manatee Gun Range in Manatee County near Bradenton Florida.

Course Description: This will be the same class we gave at Okeechobee Shooting Sports in April. For reviews pics and videos etc see: http://floridaconcealedcarry.com/For...ass-discussion

In this course we will address defending yourself while keeping your firearm safe during a physical assault, through transitioning to the use of justified deadly force. This course is designed to teach our students close encounter, practical gun fighting skills and real-time deadly force decision making. This is a progressive building block class that will allow you to combine skills learned during each session into scenario based exercises, using Airsoft Weapons.

Day one: How to carry, draw, defend whilst drawing. How to physically defend yourself against a close encounter / physical assault while in possession of a firearm. Dealing with single and multiple attackers. How to move around buildings, vehicles, people etc whilst using a firearm. Plus advanced fighting pistol skills, that are required in REALISTIC fighting environments. Such as engaging a threat at contact range, close quarter to medium range engagement, Movement while fighting, Communication both with threats and with allies, Aggressing and Retreating from a fight (why when, how) .

Day two: Will be spent in Practical Shooting Drills, Force-On-Force Training and Scenarios. Students will be forced to make fighting decisions against single and multiple threats in dynamic environments. Drills will be conducted indoors, outdoors and using vehicles. This is where we take ALL the skills and drills taught on the fist day and night and put them to practical use. No “time outs”, no “lets start again”, no “do over’s”. Instructors and Students will face off in a series of realistic deadly force scenarios…….How will you fair?

Why FOF Training?: Gives the participant the opportunity to test & evaluate principles/tactics, equipment, physical skills and mental conditioning in a realistic & safe training environment.
Well developed "Force-on-Force" training creates a “reasonable” facsimile of combat. Reactions are tested, stress is produced; specifically stress induced by either pain or the fear of pain. Constant activation of the "Sympathetic Nervous System" through pain or the fear of pain is the key to developing the orientation or "inoculation" to overreaction and improper decision making from a similar type of stimulus. This training gives the participants the opportunity to take initiative and the responsibility for their actions and what occurs, allows for the analyzing, and questioning of the experience, all while grappling with the dilemmas and contradictions of their actions in a continuing process of evaluating the experience.

Equipment Needed:

Personal Airsoft pistol, holster and at least 200 BB's, preferably a replica of your Carry Weapon. (one can be rented from us for $25.00 or purchased for $49.00)

Please dress in comfortable street clothes and shoes for each of the classes. Please dress in the type of attire that you would normally wear while carrying your weapon. (but no v necks, no open top shoes)

Food: Please bring all food / snacks you will want to eat during training along with your own cooler and fluids. You WILL need to stay hydrated!. We will not be stopping (other than short breaks or as indicated above) or leaving the location for the duration of the class.

Course Duration: Class would be a 2 day event with skills / drills and techniques on day one, then day two will be putting said day one skills into practical use, with ongoing scenarios and FOF roll play using airsoft weapons.
