Services

We are proud of our military and strive to support our troops by augmenting their current training with our combat-ready STACT system.  Over the years we have worked with soldiers from all four branches and have enjoyed adding to the skill sets that keep them safe.  These skills that we share with the modern soldiers are derived from ancient battlefield arts where the times dictated the need to fight hand-to-hand.   A few of our specialties are knife fighting, unarmed against blades, hand-to-hand, swarming drills, to name a few.  The hand-to-hand requirements are so varied amongst our military that we can’t completely list our services but would love to talk to you about your needs then tailor a curriculum that will get the job done.

In modern times law enforcement officials of all kinds are faced with the daunting task of protecting and serving while under intense scrutiny.   There is a need to control suspects once they are within arms reach and we provide non lethal techniques that allow officers to perform these duties safely.  Safely for the officers as well as the suspects!  Prison guards, patrol officers, state police, SWAT, DEA, Personal Protection Specialists and Air Marshalls are just a few of law enforcement fields that could use our tried-and-true training methods.  One thing they all have in common is that they may come in contact with a violent suspect at any time.

STACT training provides techniques that are effective–but, more importantly, provides principles that are life saving.  Skill sets used to control and or to defend quickly wane and a common thread we have found after conversing with law enforcement officers is that the training they get at the academy, no matter how good it is, can be  forgotten or lost over time.  Let STACT come in and get you back to your state of excellence by augmenting your current training regimen with our STACT system.

Women are victims of violent crimes. including sexual assault and domestic violence, on a daily basis.   The best way for women to protect themselves against violent attacks is to be prepared.  STACT can equip women with the mental and physical skills needed if confronted by the dangers that exist in our world today.  No longer are these dangers found in alleyways in the dark of night.  They exist in public places, in broad daylight.  Our mission is to empower women with self-confidence and the ability to protect themselves and their family.  Our program teaches women to instinctively use their natural fight or flight reactions and avoid freezing.  Our system includes self defense against common attacks including being tossed to the ground where women actually have an advantage fighting from the ground and we can teach you how.  STACT instructors have volunteered teaching at a local battered women’s shelter.  These women shared some of their experiences and found the training to be very valuable.  Our training program of self-defense skills and techniques are done in a safe environment with instructors that foster positive support and heartfelt compassion.

Let STACT help prepare your employees for violence in the workplace.  Unfortunately, companies have been faced with disgruntled employees, violent customers as well as the added threat of acts of terrorism.   We encourage a proactive approach versus being unprepared and then addressing the consequences after an incident.  Corporations are preparing employees through “active shooter training,” which generally teaches the employees a “run, hide, fight” concept.  What we have found is that most employees can truly benefit by having STACT come to their company and teach them effective fighting skills.  We advocate the “run and hide” aspects of active shooter training; however, if confronted with having to fight, your employees need our help.

Having properly trained security is so very important on several fronts.  Your business can benefit from reduced violence, safer patrons and staff, less police intervention, and possibly with lower insurance premiums.  The STACT system doesn’t teach your staff how to fight–to the contrary, it teaches them how not to.  We have a systematic approach to giving your staff the skills needed to control patrons, break up fights, remove patrons, and reduce your liability in all of these situations.  Upon completion of our training we will give the participating staff certificates, as well as certify that the business has trained those employees in safe practices.

Working in Real Estate requires agents to meet strangers in isolated locations at random hours.  This setting can be dangerous and inviting to potential attackers. The real estate and rental and leasing industries reported 85 work-related deaths in 2014, according to the Bureau of Labor and Statistics. The best way to protect yourself?  Let STACT teach your agents self-defense and situational awareness.   

Studies show that 80 percent of women who fought back in an attack situation have gotten away.  The ability to fight back is very powerful. STACT teaches real estate agents how to protect themselves in a variety of situations, such as small confined spaces, inside an automobile, and in low light conditions.  STACT will teach agents self-defense techniques to disable an attacker to escape or completely incapacitate an attacker when the threat level warrants.  STACT can teach agents to use everyday objects as weapons to ensure their safety.  Situational awareness is just as important.   STACT will teach methods to ensure agents are keenly aware of their surroundings, to locate escape routes and be suspect of situations that are out of the ordinary.
