COURSE OVERVIEW
This training focuses on proven physical countermeasures and empty-hand combatives
when other tools or weapons are not appropriate or available.  Many techniques are
martial arts based and taught to law enforcement officers.  We will also train how to
properly deploy pepper spray, an unregulated item that is legal to purchase and    
possess in Missouri.  We will also give an overview of the baton and the Taser.  This
course is particularly useful for women, students, and those who work in a restricted
environment without access to a firearm.  Strength can be an advantage in a violent
encounter, so we teach techniques that allow smaller individuals and those who lack
physical strength to overcome larger and stronger adversaries.
