Everyday, the world seems to be getting a little bit more dangerous. The news reports story after story of assault, robbery, sexual assault, and murder. Here in the Tampa Bay area, it also seems like the ruthlessness of criminals include police, and we’ve lost more than our fair share in the last couple of years. While homicide nation wide is on the decline, the violence level of encounters is increasing with more and more crimes occurring that involve serious injury or death. Honest citizens are buying guns and becoming licensed to carry those guns concealed in record numbers. However, they still have a feeling of unease that comes with lack of adequate training.

Do you KNOW that should the time come you would be able to get to your weapon and be able to defend yourself and your loved ones with it?

If you’re being honest with yourself, that nagging feeling pulling at you is doubt. There is more to being able to protect yourself against a violent encounter than having bought a gun, fired it a few times at the range (or even more than a few times), and obtaining your concealed carry license. You must be able to use it, while under stress in a knock down drag out violent situation, and in a manner that doesn’t involve the time it takes to achieve good marksmanship. Youhavetobe able to go from pulling your weapon to pulling the trigger in mere moments and stop your opponent.

The First Step: Sign up for Reality Based Training for Lethal Force Encounters Seminar, Saturday, February 25th.

With over 90 years of combined experience in reality based training for the military, law enforcement and civilians, the team at Counter Assault Training Systems has created a special one day seminar to give law abiding citizens that are concerned for their safety a basic course in how to defend themselves both with their gun and without it in order to survive some of the most life-threatening encounters.

• How to spot the bad guys that are carrying weapons
• How to disarm people that have a knife or a gun
• How to fight if you end up on the ground
• How to defend yourself without a weapon
• How to defend yourself if someone is car-jacking you
• How to tell if you should shoot or not shoot using force on force scenarios
• How to room clear your home or business
• How to testify in court

The strategies that we’re going to focus on in this all-day seminar are designed to be easily digestible so that you’ll retain much of the information and be confident enough that if you’re attacked you’ll be able to complete many of the techniques while under stress. However, just like your high school Spanish class, if you don’t use it, you’ll lose it. So, we’ll give you strategies for practice at home in a safe manner.

The cost for the course is $100 per person. We only have spaces for 25 people, so you must register today because they will fill up quickly.

Please note: While this course will be taught by instructors that in addition to their years of tactical experience in the military and law enforcement that also have decades of experience in the martial arts—THIS IS NOT A MARTIAL ARTS SEMINAR—it is focused exclusively on real world based scenarios based upon police reports gathered across the country.
