Course Description


LET645 - PPCT Spontaneous Knife Defense Instructor - 24.00 Hours

Description

The Spontaneous Knife Defense course has been designed to meet the needs of police and correctional officers. The training will begin with a comprehensive course on offensive knife systems. The focus of this training is to raise the student's awareness to the sophistication of strategies, yet the simplicity which an officer can fall victim to a moderately trained subject with a knife. The second phase of training will focus on the PPCT Knife Defense techniques, based upon a realistic, yet highly aggressive check and stun philosophy. This system has evolved to the simplest form, where all of the skills are gross motor skills that are compatible to the effects of survival stress. This simplicity in design allows for quicker learning and retention under the stress of a knife assault. The course was designed by PPCT Management Systems, Inc., a leader in subject control training systems.

This 24 hour instructor course prepares students to instruct the PPCT Spontaneous Knife Defense basic course; refines the student's physical technique; and presents instructional methods for teaching survival skills.
