Advanced Defensive Handgun Combatives

Mean Streets Tactical Training is proud to present our one day Advanced Defensive Handgun Combatives courses. Warriors know that if you train like you fight, you will fight like you train. Therefore the Warrior will make every training session count. These are the types of sessions that Warriors will relish in!

This series of one day training classes will prepare students for the down and dirty world of urban combat. The courses emphasize that the skills used in an armed conflict are different than those used punching holes in paper plates or beer cans: beer cans don’t shoot back. Statistics show that those with a Will to Win at all costs, and a high state of readiness, survive conflict situations.

The series of courses will be delivered in Four separate modules:
Module 1 Speed, Surprise and Violence of Action
Module 2 Zero to Ten Feet Fighting
Module 3 Ground Fighting and Vehicles
Module 4 Structures and Low Light Fighting

These courses will focus on the following Knowledge, Skills, and Attitudes:
Combat Shooting Fundamentals
Tactical Movement
Combat Mindset and the Warrior Spirit
Treating Malfunctions
Target scanning and decision making
Precision tactical shooting under stress
Ground fighting
Fighting to the Sides and Rear
Close Quarters Engagements
Low Light fighting

The classes will use a series of skill builder drills, combined with scenarios, stress inducement, and Force on Force activities to replicate the tactical fighting environment. All exercises are trained from concealed carry for realism. Students will come away from the training with a much higher confidence and competence level and take their preparedness to a new level.
