Ballistic Sheild Think of the ballistic shield as a dynamic, portable ballistic corner, between the
law enforcement agent and the suspect. The ballistic shield has traditionally been taught to be
deployed in a slow, thorough and methodical, defensive tempo. This block of instruction WILL
NOT focus on utilizing the ballistic shield in a “defensive” manner. Rather, this block will expose
the attendee to the offensive capabilities of the ballistic shield in close quarters conflict. This
course will introduce the attendee to the unique dynamics and options associated with ballistic
shield applications during critical incidents. Attendees will also receive recommendations on
the equipment and ancillary equipment options. It is recommended that a minimum of two (2)

KRAV MAGA WORLDWIDE TRAINING INFORMATION:
Krav Maga is a unique self-defense system designed for use in both public safety and military
special operations contexts. The Krav Maga system provides solutions to a multiplicity of armed
and unarmed threats to law enforcement personnel and military operators. Krav Maga is a
modern, reality based method of training. The Krav Maga defensive tactics training is
characterized by a logical and progressive approach to learning that results in a highly effective,
easy to learn, natural and practical method of hand to hand combat for real life violent
encounters. Krav Maga is well integrated, meaning that similar defensive principles apply to a
variety of hostile situations. Therefore, the system can be learned in a relatively short period of
instruction. The techniques are easy to retain with minimal review and can be performed under
extreme stress. The Krav Maga System has been overwhelmingly praised by defensive tactics
instructors from federal, state and local law enforcement agencies, as well as hand to hand
combat trainers from special units of the military.
DEFENSES AGAINST HANDGUN THREATS SEMINAR (4HRS):
The Krav Maga defensive-tactics system offers practical, empty-hand methods of defending
against, disarming and dealing with an assailant who, armed with a handgun poses an imminent
threat to the life of an individual or the life of a third party. Threats are dealt with from multiple
angles; in high stress scenarios such as being pushed, punched or moved from point A to point
B; and third party hostage scenarios.

2015 Tactical Training Expo
DEFENSES AGAINST EDGED WEAPON ATTACKS SEMINAR(4HRS):
The Krav Maga defensive-tactics system has developed a practical and effective way to deal
with an assailant armed with an edged weapon (knife). Street experience shows two elements
common to most knife attacks: (1) The defender does not see the knife until the attack is
concluded, and (2) most attacks involve multiple stabs in rapid succession. Krav Maga defensive
tactics against edged weapons minimizes the danger present in these elements. The system
initially deals with building the individual's ability to recognize and identify a specific threat. Law
enforcement personnel are taught to respond instinctively, without hesitation, to stop the
problem and take safe control of the situation. Course participants learn to defend against
multiple stabs from different angles and from various distances and to finish with disarm and
control techniques, when possible to do so.
