MDTS THREAT RECOGNITION & MANAGEMENT TACTICS
(Interactive Lecture)

Course Description/Objectives:
Most citizen defense training focuses on technical development of motor skills whether
that’s shooting, blade work, or unarmed combative skill sets and simply glosses over
tactics. It is much easier to teach someone how to palm strike than it is to teach them
how to recognize when they will be mugged or assaulted.

The MDTS Threat Recognition & Management Tactics course provides students with the
skills necessary for dealing with violent criminal assault before it happens. Avoidance
when possible is always the best strategy but avoidance is predicated upon ones ability
to recognize potential danger. This course emphasizes realistic and effective
pre-engagement tactics based upon an in depth understanding of how criminals
operate.We must understand the problem, before we can develop solutions.

This is a non-physical 2 hr. class featuring a PowerPoint presentation on criminal assault
and interactive drills used to develop proper pre-engagement tactics. This course is
suitable for men and women of any age or stature.

Course Topics/Modules of Instruction Include:
Understanding Criminal Assault
Contact Plan of Action
Awareness and Task Fixation
Distance Control Tactics
Assessing the Potential Threat
Verbal Challenge, De-escalation and Physical Boundary Setting
Evasion & Escape Tactics
Taking Initiative

MDTS PRACTICAL COMBATIVES WORKSHOP

Course Description/Objectives:
Practical Unarmed Combat is the option used when there are no other superior tactical
advantages (weaponry, evasion and escape, etc.) available to you. In this course a
series of drills and foundational unarmed techniques will be presented. Students will
learn a simple, effective and retainable method of unarmed personal defense. An
emphasis is placed on understanding how criminals assault citizens in the real world and
what to do if a situation occurs when you have no reasonable alternative to engaging the opponent.
Strategies presented enable the citizen to negate criminal assault tactics through
verbal challenge and/or direct action to immediately dominate the situation by
any possible means. This course is suitable for men and women of any age
or stature who are in reasonable physical condition.

Combative Mindset
Instinctual Defenses & the Default Response
Direct Action Drills

Guys - please note date change for the NYSRPA fundraiser event to reflect scheduling error. Dates changed from 2/28 to 3/28 of 2009.

Repeat - The date of the event is Saturday March 28th. I apologize for any confusion.

Thanks,
Chris

Hope you can buddy, it will be good to see you again.

Please spread the word to everyone in your area whom you think will be interested. This is for a great cause.

Chris

Guys, I hate bumping threads but this is for a good cause. Hope some of you can come out and participate/support the NYSRPA.

My bad, here you go:

Gander Mountain Henrietta, NY Store #254  

300 Jay Scutti Blvd.
Rochester, NY 14623
(585) 424-4100

I'll be there, God willing!

I know the Rochester gun show is that same weekend. These classes end early enough that you guys can still get over to the gun show and look around. Come on out and support a good cause guys.

As always, had a lot of fun while learning practical things that can save someone's life. A stranger's, a loved one or even your own!

This class, as i said there, is arguably the most important one you can take. Even when armed, you will need a brief moment to either get away or get to your gun/knife. That is, if you did not detect the potential threat with the tools given to you by Chris.

As far as i am concerned, what this class covers is the minimum everyone should know.

Combat pistol, carbine, shotgun, knife,etc is something we should all  know and practice, but if you do not have the basic skills this course teaches, you might not be able to use the advanced training/skills you have.

It was nice to meet the others taking the class while helping NYSRPA, especially Joe D, who is NYSRPA's VP, and one of the 2 representatives to the NRA board that AR15.com supports

In SUMMARY: I strongly recommend this course, next time MDTS offers it.

I'd like to thanks everyone who took the time out of their Saturday to come support the NYSRPA! It was a lot of fun and Gander Mtn. was very gracious allowing us to use some loud profanity and punch one another! Overall it was a great event and I look forward to doing more with the NYSRPA and Joe D.
