This class is designed to equip you with knowledge of what an impending attack looks like and to have pre-set plans in place so that you can react quickly and effectively.  The course will include limited decision making to include shoot/no shoot, ranges realistic to the majority of self-defense shootings, order of engagement with multiple attackers, moving for your best advantage, and post-conflict procedures for both shoot and no shoot decisions.

The Care Under Fire portion of this class will include the following:  Students will discuss how to assess and recognize a life-threatening injury, provide effective treatment and extricate the casualty from a hostile situation while maintaining cover and effectively utilizing tactical movement strategies.  The effective treatment includes application of tourniquet, chest seal and/or wound packing bandages. All items you should consider carrying with you or having access to on a daily basis.
