SUMMARY:Unthinkable
DESCRIPTION:Unthinkable: Concepts and Techniques for the Gravest Extreme \nSummary: \nUnthinkable is\, in brief\, a tour of the dark side of criminal violence. In one very full day\, attendees will undertake a fast-paced and interactive overview of how dangerous aggressors think as they decide whom to victimize\, and we’ll review target demeanor and behavior for cues that we appear easily victimized. Hands-on training will introduce robust\, effective techniques for disarming an assailant armed with a pistol and the day will finish with an in-depth survey of the best processes and methods to establish a powerful and adaptive defensive mindset. \nFull Course Description: \nHow do violent criminals think of us\, and how do they target us? \nHow are human monsters made\, and born? \nWhat do we do when faced with a drawn gun? \nAll these questions bring to mind threats that any reasonable person would avoid at any cost. So why would anyone pay to spend a day immersed in exploration of those threats and more? Simply put\, there is no way to develop an effective and adaptive defensive mindset without spending time in some fairly dark places. \nThis course will explore the above domains and skillsets\, guiding students to the next step in developing their ability to protect themselves and those they love. \nFor participants in this course\, a systematic approach to enhancing personal safety will be undertaken in an engaging and fast-paced format over a very full day of training. \nSince defensive awareness is rooted in the realization of risk\, and since defensive preparation adds the commitment to mitigation of threats\, unifying those elements in defensive decision-making will be the emphasis of this course. \nIt is the goal of the instructor to drag awareness of risk from the back of the mind to its very forefront\, ensuring that an actual life-threatening scenario will not be the first time participants have honestly faced what will be necessary. \nParticipants in this course will be presented with some challenging truths about the world as it is and asked to make serious\, personal changes in how they prepare for that world. \nClassroom components will include intensive\, interactive lectures including: \nFatal Choices: Understanding VCAs and How They Identify Victims \nIn this fast-moving and interactive lecture\, participants will be led through contemporary theories and current curated data on the process by which violent criminal actors select their targets for violent aggression. Particular attention will be paid to the internal mechanisms in play within criminal psychology\, the universe of signifiers around “good guy” behavior\, demeanor\, and attributes that may actually make the selection for attack more likely\, as well as considerations for responsibly armed citizens\, to mitigate this risk. Previous iterations of this material have been presented to LE agencies and private citizen groups across the US as well as international LE educational events. \nThe 5 W’s of Risk: Constructing an Effective Pre-Need Defense Paradigm \nMany instructors present material on surviving a physical attack and some others address the aftermath of that defensive violence. However\, the preparation for being attacked\, what Craig Douglas of ShivWorks has referred to as the pre-kinetic phase\, is given limited\, if any\, attention by the vast majority of trainers and even fewer students. This presentation will review common mental and philosophical errors made by practitioners as they plan for what they hope will never happen: a determined attack by a violent criminal intent on killing you and those you love. Attendees will be exposed to a practical method for undertaking the pre-need decision-making necessary to a sound self-defense and survival mindset\, providing increased awareness and a clear path to maximize their capacity for self-protection. \nPractical instruction will include: \nOpen-Source Retention/Disarming \nA hands-on block of instruction in the art and science of maintaining positive control of your own defensive handgun and of taking one away from an assailant when necessary. \nNo prior experience or training in defensive tactics is required\, no special physical gifts are necessary and the material is presented in a from-the-ground-up approach 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.
