Massachusetts Tactical Defense Training

Tactical Defense Training for Law Enforcement, Correctional officers, and Private Security Firms

In the average career of a law enforcement agent, there will be dozens of resist arrest situations. These encounters don’t always justify deadly force, but the suspect still needs to be put down and controlled.

Spending time shooting at the gun range is fun, but simply having a firearm will not provide all the self-defense protection a person will need. A gun is a tool that can be used in self-defense, not self-defense itself.

The most important weapons you have are your own mind and body. It’s important that anyone who is employed in law enforcement, or has a job that puts them in life-threatening situations, learn the best techniques and procedures to end violent confrontations quickly. While defense tactics training is tiring and often painful, it will better your odds that your family will see you after every shift.

Our tactical defense training techniques and procedures are directed towards the safety of those employed in law enforcement and provide the necessary "tools" which can be used in life-threatening situations.

This program provides in-depth study and practice so that your defense tactics become natural and effective. The topics outlined below will provide an officer with the important skills needed to survive as a street officer.

Karate Classes for Children, Spencer, MA - Serving Worcester County, MA

The Ninja Tiger Cubs Program is a detailed curriculum that focuses on improving the pre-school age child's basic motor and listening skills. These skills will help them enter society with a more confident and enthusiastic outlook. They will become better students, better listeners at home, and more ambitious towards the future.

We believe the time between the ages of 3 and 5 are the most important years of a child's development. Our program will enhance positive developments in a fun and motivating way and introduce your child to basic Kenpo karate skills.

Each student is treated as an individual and advances at his/her own pace. They are not expected to "keep up" with anyone else. The Ninja Tiger Cubs Program is broken up into eight themes:

• Focus - This skill will help your child's aim, listening skills and reaction skills. They will excel faster in any physical activities. Your child will also become a better listener and more focused student in school.

• Teamwork - Teamwork is necessary for any young child to develop. The more your child is willing to work with others, the more he or she will accomplish. Your child will develop character which will help him or her make new friends and become a better leader in life.

• Control - Having control means making good decisions. Whether your child is handling a pet or handling a problem, he or she will learn to make the right decisions. Control builds confidence.

• Balance - This skill is crucial to develop at an early age. Your child is beginning to participate in many physical activities that are challenging, like riding a two-wheel bicycle. Your child will develop good balance and better posture.

• Memory - Developing a good memory is crucial for your child. Our drills are constantly helping your child think and make smart decisions.

• Discipline - Our instructors use the Little Ninja drills to help create the vision that discipline is fun and rewarding. Your child will take pride in doing the right thing. Your child will also follow directions better.

• Fitness - It is important for children to understand the importance of being healthy and physically fit. If your child does not burn off excess energy constructively how will he or she focus?

• Coordination - Your child will learn left from right. They will become better physical participants in sports and other activities. The better coordination your child has the fewer injuries he or she will sustain.
