For the law enforcement
professional, body language is no longer a luxury but a
necessity. Man is the only animal capable of understanding
and manipulating cues for sinister purposes and the criminal
is becoming expert at it. Without proper training, cops
don’t stand a fair chance. The program will examine:

• The messages our body language
  sends out
• How we perceive messages and ways
  to minimize deception
• Human behavior and how it relates
  to body language
• Body language of violent people
• Examination of threat and
  submissive cues and the way they are interpreted
• How stress changes us, for the
  good and bad
• Verbal Communication and Verbal
  De-Escalation Skills

The evolution of human conflict has
taken a turn for the worse, No longer are arguments resolved
verbally or through “ritualistic combat.” The program
examines:

• What has happened to the process?
• Why is the law enforcement
  community particularly at risk? Most importantly, what, if
  anything, can be done?
• This unique slide program will
  examine how the human body language system has broken down
  and will provide specific suggestions as to how not to get
  caught in the trap.
• This program is a must for anyone
  who deals with criminal elements.

Many questions have been coming up
concerning training and performance. When under stress, why
aren’t cops performing as they were trained. This program
will examine:

• How stress will affect the
  performance of skills i.e. gross, fine and complex motor
  skills.
• Why shooting performance
  deteriorates under stress
• What if anything can be done to
  reduce performance failure.

Cops are frequently involved in
breaking up fights. Recently, a cop broke up a fight between
three individuals. He was rewarded with 150 stitches from a
box cutter, The mistakes he made happen all to frequently,
This program will examine:

• The 3 stages of a fight
• When is the safest time to
  intervene and when are you are greatest risk
• Suggestions as to what
  non-physical techniques can be used to intervene
• A segment that examines why people
  fight

  examined

More officers are assaulted with edged
weapons than with guns and the average person does not have
a true respect for the lethality of an edged weapon, even a
small blade. This program will combine over 38 years of
martial arts, stick and knife fighting training (Amis de
Mano), seminars and research. The program will examine:

• Different types of edged weapons
  and how they can be used
• What constitutes a safe distance
  from an edged weapon?
• How should you respond to a rush?
  Side stepping vs. stepping back.
• What are the most common knife
  grips & who might be using them and why?
• Knife attacks used by street,
  biker and prison gangs.
• What do knife “experts” agree
  upon?
• How does body armor hold up
  against knives?
• How and where can weapons be
  concealed?

A Guide to Survive a
Massacre or Rampage Shooting

While these occurrences are still quite
rare, you only have to be in one shooting to appreciate this

activity. Response time is definitely a factor in survival.

A Guide to Surviving a
Hostage Encounter: It Ain’t Just Luck!

Hostage encounters, whether by terrorists
or EDPs, is not uncommon for the law enforcement profession.
While most times, law enforcement people are on the outside
looking in, what would one do if it were us on the inside? In
addition to our own safety, we might also be responsible for the
safety of other hostages as well. Knowing the dynamics of the
situation, who the hostage takers are, the three times hostage
takers are most dangerous and the emotional stresses placed on
hostages are all important to surviving physically and
emotionally.

Almost 30 years of research and testing
has gone into the development of the Spontaneous Ground Defense
System. This program should not be confused with wrestling or
ground grappling. The program covers a broad range of issues
that include:

  defending from the ground.
• How to develop a plan.
• How to effectively use arms, legs,
  knees, and elbows from the ground.
• Defense against kicks or thrown
  objects.

  and safely.
• Over 90% of the techniques
  presented in the program can be learned and executed within
  minutes.

  been presented at numerous law enforcement conferences
  including: American Society of Law Enforcement Trainers,
  Int’l Women in Police Conference, Justice System Training
  Association, and Police Self-Defense Instructors Int’l.

  Police Magazine, Police and Security news, and Defensive
  tactics newsletter. In addition, SGD was covered on a

  Ground.” This short presentation takes a new and
  refreshing look at the use of lethal force in defense from
