OUR APPROACH TO EFFECTIVE FIREARMS TRAINING
Why should you train with us?

Firearms training is critical to law enforcement and personal defense, particularly in light of statistics regarding close-range encounters. Over two decades, FBI data has revealed a significant number of trained officers who lost their lives to firearms at distances of fewer than five feet. This underscores the importance of specialized training addressing the unique challenges of close-quarters confrontations. Our training program strongly emphasizes two key pillars: stress adaptation and controlled breathing.

Our program aims to equip individuals with the skills to overcome the paralyzing effects of stress and maintain their functionality and survival instincts by immersing them in high-stress scenarios. Additionally, deliberate, deep breathing techniques are integrated to optimize the oxygen supply to the body, thereby enhancing performance under pressure. Cognitive load plays a pivotal role in our training methodology, with the utilization of evidence-based scenario training (EBST) to instill a wealth of mental models into the subconscious minds of our students.

A Closer Look at Replication Training:
Elevating Realistic Scenario-Based Learning.

Diverging from traditional sparring methods, our Full Circle Tactical Training approach introduces replication training as a distinctive form of immersive learning. The innovative Evidence-Based Scenario system is renowned for its focus on replicating authentic violent encounters. Through meticulous mirroring of both the attacker and defender, participants, clad in protective full-body suits, are immersed in the intricacies and consequences of actual violence, providing a firsthand experience of a vicious attack.

At the core of this training regimen lies a critical phase of stress inoculation, where individuals are exposed to high-pressure situations. This is followed by exploring protective and preemptive movements, fostering a comprehensive understanding of self-defense strategies.

The unique formula of scenario training is a valuable resource for students and instructors, eliminating uncertainties in readiness for sudden ambushes. The primary goal of this training methodology is to instill greater confidence in individuals when confronted with dynamic real-life scenarios. Noteworthy is the adaptability of this formula, making it applicable across various martial arts systems and styles.

The gradual escalation of stress levels as individuals progress in proficiency enables effective adaptation to high-pressure situations. Our program transcends conventional approaches, acknowledging that traditional 2D flat-range firearms positions and tactics may fall short in real-world encounters.

We provide individuals with a comprehensive mental framework that empowers them to respond effectively, even in confined environments where movement, escape, or seeking cover may be limited. This includes scenarios like Car Ambush, where swift decision-making and precise actions are paramount.

The Full Circle Tactical Training System equips individuals with the tools and techniques to navigate high-pressure situations confidently. Our ultimate aim is to ensure that you can safeguard yourself and safely return to your loved ones. Through our holistic training program, we strive to enhance your skills, adaptability, and mental readiness in the face of imminent danger, in other words, we teach you to be dangerous, it is up to you to control it and use it to fight evil.
