Empty Hands Combat for Bodyguards

UK SIA Level 3 Close Protection Courses, Tactical Firearms for Bodyguards Training, Close Protection related Training and Courses, Empty Hands Combat for Bodyguards Training, International Close Protection Consulting and Services, Ireland, UK, Europe - 2022

Why this program is needed:


With decades of Empty Hands Combat training with different groups of students ( from kids to Police and Army SF) we came to conclusions : 
 

 

  • Most of the Empty Hands Combat  courses (programs)mostly are only sets of different fancy techniques (far away from reality in regards of the simplicity of understanding, using, and efficiency);

​

  • Most of the training providers don't know how to teach students to recognize situations, adapt to quickly changing hostile environments, improvise and react to danger properly (in time-timing)  to avoid overreactions (possible unreasonable and unlawful actions);

License no: ICPTA 669

  • Our program is Designed for Small Bodyguard (CPO) Groups (1-5 operatives) operating in Hostile Environment without any logistic and Power Support. 

 

  • Our concept - Task Orientated Adaptation and Improvisation to Perform Effectively and Safely through a Real Assault.

 

 

Our project was built keeping in mind, that Situation Determines Preparation :

 

  • Simple and Efficient principles of using Biomechanics of Human Body, Psychical Reactions and Timing (vs Fancy and Spectacular sets of techniques);
  • How to React to Danger Properly and Adequate-Level of force is determined by the assailant! (Reasonable Force and Levels of Power ) instead of guessing and making mistakes and breaking of laws;
  • Making right decisions: Sorting problems out instead of making troubles;
  • Coordination of Teamwork (Teamwork and Communication); 
  • Crowd Control: Conflict Management, Blending with Crowd, Prevention of Provocations;
  • MUST be an optimal ratio between Reality Training and Safety;
  • Survival Mindset achieved through Practical Exercises (not just theory).
  • Achieve Combat Mindset and Train to Respond to Real Threat;
  • Importance of Stress Management, Making Right Decisions and  Avoiding Unnecessary Casualties.
