The Instinctive Edge™

So there I was up on the mountain getting fresh air and training law enforcement officer’s in Defensive Tactics.  People in this line of work need skill sets because there is always a potential during a shift that some kind of violent encounter could occur.  Modern law enforcement need to have skills that allow them to strike, work from a clinch, takedowns and grappling, retention skills, handcuffing and more.  The most important thing that officer’s need is a strong mind-set that allows them to function in a highly volatile situation and survive a confrontation.    It is always an honor to teach my brothers and sisters on the mats.  They all inspire me to be better!

So we just wrapped up a couple of intense weeks of training for our current Law Enforcement Academy.  Last week was Defensive Tactics, which was intense and we followed it up with the always intense Firearms Range training.  Looking forward to a break and then gearing up for the next Academy!

So in preparing for the Academy firearms training this week I went to the range a couple of day’s over the weekend.  My groupings were excellent which was a little bit of a surprise because I haven’t had the opportunity to shoot for a while.  What I have had the opportunity to do was practice with my SIRT Laser Trainers.  Training with the SIRT Trainers allowed me to work all of the fundamentals and not experience any kind of drop off when I went to the range.  Now, to give you an idea of what I was working on was that I consider anything less than a bullseye a failure.  Out of maybe around three hundred rounds I only experience a half a dozen drop offs from the bullseye area.  I believe the SIRT trainer’s have really helped my skill set and I am reaffirmed for training with it.

Is your training intense enough?  Are you really getting after it?  Does your training leave you exhausted?  If it doesn’t then you are failing in your quest for effective personal protection skills.  So, are you training intense enough or are you failing in your training?  Most of the people I encounter training in the Martial Sciences for personal protection reasons are failing in their training.  They may be getting excellent technical training but they fail to work hard enough to develop their cardio and attributes.  Or they are the exact opposite in that they have great cardio but the technical training they receive is awful.  You need a combination of both intensity that develops your mindset, cardio plus attributes and excellent technical training.  This is essential if you want to have effective personal protection skill sets that will allow you to succeed in a moment of violence!

Sorry I have been off line for a bit.  After returning from Bali and getting back to work I have been extremely busy with a Las Enforcement Academy Defensive Tactics Training.  Next week the same group of Academy cadets will be at the Firearm Range where I will help in their instruction to prepare them for their future career!  Love this job!
