This December, Adaptive Defense Concepts is pleased to announce we will be hosting Dr. William Aprill for an engaging and fast-paced day of training on the Unthinkable: Concepts and Techniques for the Gravest Extreme.  In this class, participants will be presented with challenging truths about the world and asked to make serious and personal changes in how they prepare for that world.

Course components include intensive, interactive lecture on how criminals select their targets for violent aggression. Particular attention will be paid to the internal mechanisms in play within the criminal psychology, the universe of signifiers around “good guy” behavior, demeanor, and attributes which may actually make selection for attack more likely, as well as considerations for responsible armed citizens to mitigate this risk.

Participants will also receive hands-on instruction in the art and science of maintaining positive control of your own defensive handgun, as well as taking one away from an assailant when necessary.
No prior experience or training in defensive tactics is required, no special physical gifts are necessary and the material is presented “from the ground up” to allow conceptual understanding and physical grasp of an intuitive, robust skill-set in a relatively short time. *Please bring an inert training version of your carry pistol, if possible (red gun, blue gun, SIRT, etc.) so that carry gear may be used if applicable.

Dr. William Aprill is a licensed mental health professional with over 15 years experience across the continuum of care. He presently maintains a private practice and consultancy specializing in post-traumatic interventions and other disciplines.  Dr. Aprill is a former deputy sheriff (Orleans Parish, LA, Criminal Sheriff’s Office) and Special Deputy US Marshal (Eastern District of Louisiana). He is a decorated competitive shooter and has taught civilian, law enforcement, and military personnel in various fighting skills since 1990. He maintains an active schedule both as student and teacher, having been instructor-rated by several top-tier trainers and studying under many of the most influential members of the combative arts community.

Through his company Aprill Risk Consulting, William has presented his material on violent criminals and their decision-making, defensive incident aftermath, mindset development and defensive preparedness nationally, including at the Annual Conference of the International Association of Law Enforcement Firearms Instructors (IALEFI), Rangemaster Tactical Conference, Tactical Response Alumni Weekend, and serves as Training Director for Paul-E-Palooza, the memorial conference and fundraiser for the family of the late Paul Gomez. Collaborative presentations have been conducted across the country with Craig Douglas/Shivworks, Lethal Force Institute, Rangemaster, Active Response Training, Sharp Defense, Tactical Response, Safety Solutions Academy, Modern Defensive Training Systems, Immediate Action Combatives, Defense Training International, Armed Dynamics, and others.

Dammit bad timing, deer season

Looking forward to this, I expect it to be an eye opening type of learning experience.

Still a few seats available.

Last chance to get in on the opportunity to sit in on "Unthinkable".

I can't attend on that day.  It looks interesting though.  Hopefully someone will post a review afterwards.
