Aprill Risk Consulting (http://www.mdtstraining.com/william-aprill/) is pleased to announce a new partnership with Immediate Action Combatives (http://www.iacombatives.com/), to present a novel course of instruction.

UNTHINKABLE: Concepts and Techniques for the Gravest Extreme

This course has a critical over-arching goal: to introduce participants to some of the
unaddressed realities of violent criminal aggression and effective defensive responses.

Whatever the circumstances, we have come to understand ourselves to be vulnerable to threats
against life and health. This paradigm shift has inspired us to inquire into defensive arts and
sciences, unlike those who actively reject reality.

All too often, though, the rush to acquire tools and techniques begins before a grounded
understanding of the mindset and decision-making of the violent criminal offender, the risk
profiles we face by virtue of our lifestyle choices and behavior, our own performance capacities
and, perhaps most importantly, our choice of role in the world.

Without a sound conceptual foundation as a basis to proceed, we come to misperceive the
world and make choices that become increasingly detached from reality and impermeable to
data, leaving us in greater danger without the ability to perceive it.

Errors and omissions in these fundamental decisions are magnified when expressed in:
-Doctrine
-Defensive tool choices
-Gear choices
-Practice regimen
-Preferred tactics, techniques, and procedures

This course will provide participants with the opportunity to increase their understanding of the
world as it is and their role within it as while exposing them to novel stressors and situations so
that working paradigms of the defensive encounter can adapt. Emphasis will be explicitly placed
on safely-induced stress inoculation, demonstration and establishment of skills under pressure,
and identification of necessary skills involved in defending one’s life with the pistol.

As described by a past participant: “without this course I would never have known to think about
real threats, or even what they actually are.”

Glenn, is the object of this course to provide us with the tools to figure out when shit is about to get real?

Now this is something I'm very interested in.

Tag.

Basically, yes. William Aprill has more knowledge on the topic of effectively reading body language, verbal initiations, and the behaviors of violent people and criminals that anyone else that I know of.

This is a class that will be well worth the money.

Reminder: this seminar is coming up soon

So pissed I have to miss this, but life doesn't have it in the cards for me this time around
Take good notes and let me know if he has any course related material for sale....I will get you money ASAP for it if needed/available

Enrollment is low, this may not happen at all. Which is a real shame, given the kind of information that William Aprill can provide. Too many folks get wrapped up in the "how many rounds do I have to bring?" and when the answer is "none" then they think it won't somehow make them a better shooter.

All the shooting skill in the world won't matter if you A) can't legally shoot, B) can't get your gun out because you're entangled, or C) are getting beaten like a stepchild because you didn't know how to recognize pre-attack cues or verbal indicators.

My apologies to any stepchildren who may have been beaten here, but damn do you make for a good example.

Yep....for once this is not a $$ thing but a timing thing....more on that later to you....
This is the single MOST IMPORTANT type of information we as "defensive" minded people we need to be armed with IMHO

How many spots need to be filled for this to happen?

As of right now, I have been told by the host, Cecil Burch, that 4 more spots need to be filled.

Class is tomorrow - still not too late to get in on this.

Wish I didnt work tomorrow
