Peter Falk Reality-Based Personal Protection i Malmö

Peter Falk Personal Protection

The courses listed below constitute the foundation of the Reality-Based Personal Protection system. In addition to these ten courses there are a number of other courses in the system, women’s survival being one of them. Naturally we will also design courses that are tailor made in accordance with your particular situation, either as a private citizen or as it pertains to your work situation.

Defensive Tactics
In a real fight you are going to rely on only a handful of simple, gross motor skills, strikes and blocks to survive. This course will literally teach you, step-by-step, everything you need to know, using every part of your body, for empty hand conflict. This course also covers Threat Zones, use-of-force legal issues, Threat Assessment, Situational Awareness, and Conflict Rehearsals. In this course you’ll learn that there are only 10 primary directions to move in any given tactical situation, 10 ways to strike someone, 10 blocks. You’ll hear about concepts such as the Piston Concept, Stopping Power, Chase Instinct, training documentation, Kinetic Sensation Response, and much more.

Ground Survival
The ground is the last place you want to be during a fist fight or a knife fight, because you give up mobility, visibility, and the conflict element of offense. On the other hand, if someone is shooting at you, the ground can be used to your tactical advantage. This course is anything but sport-based. It’s 100% modern tactics: how to hit the deck under gun fire, military style ground movement, victim rescue, using the ground as an impact weapon, subject takedowns, tackle defense, citizen arrest techniques, and dozens of other techniques. You’ll also learn all about the Clean Debris, the Fast Food Menu Concept, Ambush Survival, Positional Asphyxiation, Perceptual Distortion during conflict, and other reality-based concepts. The hands-on training includes multiple attacker situations while on the ground, escape techniques, weapons factors, and more.

Knife Survival
The knife is the most common weapon used by criminals, and the average knife attack lasts a mere 5 seconds. Defending yourself against this gruesome tool requires an understanding of how today’s prison inmates, criminals, terrorists, martial arts systems, and military units use them. This course teaches you how to survive realistic full speed attacks from a brutal attacker. You’ll learn that there are only 10 directions someone can come at you with a knife, how to avoid being fatally stabbed at the initial moment of attack, what the 21 feet / 7 meter rule is all about and how it can save your life, the life-saving Jim Wagner Disarm Rule that is used by police, military, and prison personnel worldwide.

Crime Survival
Personal protection is more than just learning how to defend yourself in the proverbial “bar fight.” Conflict today means learning how to survive a robbery, carjacking, gang violence, assault & battery, caustic chemical attacks, stun gun attacks, and other felonious attacks. You have to know more than just kicking and punching. You will be taught how criminals select their victims, how to detect a criminal surveillance and escape one, how to put yourself in the Position of Advantage in any environment, and most of all – how to be a “hard target.” We will educate you, through realistic Conflict Rehearsal on how to remember a suspect’s description, how to identify evidence and preserve a crime scene, what to say to the police, and courtroom survival. We’ll show you no-nonsense gun disarms at point blank range, and even how to survive a firearm when the distance makes a gun disarm impossible. We will teach you the latest bodyguard tactics in how to protect others, like your loved ones who may be with you during a crisis situation. We’ll also cover vehicle and home security.

Terrorism Survival
What would you do if you were caught in the middle of a hand grenade attack, or if a co-worker snaps and goes on a shooting spree, or you find yourself in the middle of a Serin gas attack by terrorists on a plane, train, or bus? In this course you are going to experience realistic terrorist attacks and learn the techniques to increase your chances of survival. Such a comprehensive, hands-on, course is rare among law enforcement agencies and military units, and thus, virtually non-existent in civilian self-defense schools. You will learn counter sniper survival, dealing with a bomb threat, detecting a suicide bomber, kidnapping avoidance, hostage survival tips, travel precautions, home invasions, and school or office massacres.

Conflict Conditioning
When confronted with physical violence a person has three choices: 1. Fight 2. Flight 3. Submit. Most people submit to their attacker and become victimized. This course teaches Reality-Based Personal Protection instructors how to each their own students how to physically and mentally prepare for conflict so they can better handle the physical and emotional stress associated with real conflict. The exercises, drills, and training concepts come from elite police and military teams from around the world, from dozens of martial arts systems, as well as original Jim Wagner techniques. You’ll learn German GSG9 strength exercises, French Foreign Legion punishment drills, Apache Indian warrior tests, Israeli YAMAM “boiler pressure drills,” U.S. military calisthenics, Moroccan military field strength training, SWAT team confidence builders, and much more. When it comes to teaching mind over matter we’ll let you play the K.I.M.S. game, try the Fight & Write drill, see how thermal shock training parallels conflict stress, and make you the instructor a little bit tougher.

Scenario Training
This course, after the warm-up, starts off with contact conflict training wearing protective gear – the same type of gear worn by the police and military when they train in defensive tactics. This is the only way to test yourself and what you know. However, we don’t just throw you to the wolves, but we will work with you at your own skill level and endurance. Then comes the training that truly separates us from all other self-defense systems at this point in time (because others are copying us already), and that is how to turn your workout area into a Reality-Based training environment. You learn about lighting, sound effects, and props. Then we’ll teach you how you and your training partners can be more realistic in training scenarios with scripts, stage make-up (simulating a drug induced state, injuries, or for disguise), and costume. Towards the end of the course you will take all that you have learned and run through a few conflict scenarios and see for yourself how much more realistic it makes your training.

Control & Defense
This course is all about getting out of situations where someone is trying to control you through force, or how you can control someone in order to survive or to hand them over to the police. The first thing you’ll start learning is how to get out of the common choke holds and bear hugs used on the streets and battlefields. You’re going to find out quick that there are not that many, and the basic principles that threads through all of them. Then we’re going to get away from the ME ONLY mentality and learn how to rescue others after a violent encounter. After all, you may be with an associate, a friend or even a loved one who goes down and you need to get them out of the hostile area. A fight is not over until your party is out of the area. We call this portion of training Victim Rescue. We’ll then go into the dos and don’ts of making a citizen’s arrest, how to restrain someone, and how to avoid killing someone accidentally with positional asphyxiation.

Improvised Weapons
“One Mind, Any Weapon”. That’s the motto of this hands-on course which will teach you how to use any object or weapon, other than a firearm or knife, to defend yourself in spontaneous physical conflict. From a broom in a closet to a rolled up magazine aboard an aircraft, you’ll learn the striking and blocking angles of flexible weapons, long and short impact weapons, and throwing weapons: solids, liquids, and powders. You’ll be shown proper target acquisition, plus the strengths and weaknesses of each weapon system. However, this course is more that learning the latest techniques, we’ll also run you through police and military style exercises that will take you right up to the edge of real conflict, but in safety. You’ll experience exotic training drills such as the Roman Legion Blocking, Kali low overhang fight, Apache Indian eye shielding, garrote tactics, long gun disarms, surviving an Improvised Incendiary Device, and more. As a bonus you’ll get into the mind of the criminal and learn about improvised weapons making; skills you may need one day if you are ever held hostage or have to fight your way out of a bad situation with only the clothes on your back or common objects around you.

Handgun Survival
Since air guns are a vital part of the Reality-Based Personal Protection system in simulating gun violence, such as robberies and small arms terrorist attacks, through the practice of Conflict Rehearsal, it is vital for the Reality-Based instructors to know gun safety and range procedures inside and out in order to avoid injuries and to make training more realistic. In this course you will be using an air gun that fires (through a mechanical process) a 6mm plastic projectile accurately up to 21 feet / 7 meters. The secondary benefit to taking this course is that you will know how to effectively use a gun should you ever be in a position where you have to disarm a criminal or a terrorist and have to use that weapon to save lives. In this course the classroom will be treated like an actual range, and therefore, you will learn standard police and military range safety rules and procedures as well as proper gun safety: handling and usage. You’ll also be taught the standard shooting positions: standing, kneeling, sitting, and prone as well as tactical movement. ATTENTION: those who receive an instructor certification in this course are only qualified to include air guns in their Reality-Based Personal Protection courses as a training tool and are NOT QUALIFIED to teach live-fire firearms courses.
