How much do fundamentals like base and framing matter? How quickly can an interaction turn violent? How rapidly can an aggressor close distance? Under hooks are not always king! No matter what, do you have what it takes to stay in the fight? @argus_artactics @kennyflorian

Well, this secret technique at least levels the playing field going against Kenny...a little bit. & Working grappling for weapon retention and draw. Per always, fundamentals are key to it! What techniques do you like to work for it? @argus_artactics @kennyflorian

How do you delineate and prioritize Technique vs Principles? What do you choose to train? @kennyflorian @argus_artactics

How quickly can every day calm turn into chaos? Can you rapidly assess what's unfolding and determine what is a threat and what is not and also make the right decisions in responding? @kamilmocet @kennyflorian @argus_artactics

Do you find yourself having to work against a shake or tremor in your hands when shooting? Tremors can definitely be managed and you absolutely can be accurate and progress in your marksmanship! @argus_artactics @kennyflorian

How quickly can an interaction turn violent? How rapidly can an aggressor prevent a weapon? Would you be aware of it and see it coming? Can you execute the fundamentals sufficiently to protect yourself and extricate yourself from the situation? @argus_artactics @kennyflorian

EXPECTATION vs REALITY! The proposed technique we were sent consisted of individuals carrying a blunt object on them that they’d use to inflict pain at pressure points to stop a violent attacker. Relying on pain compliance is very risky, for a multitude of reasons. @kennyflorian

What adjustments to sport technique do you make when dealing with weapons? In pressure testing and working for fail points, we found that in going against a blade, under hooks are not always king! Thanks to @ta_coach owner of @triumphfightacademy. @argus_artactics @kennyflorian

Enhancing your skills to defend a third party introduces new challenges to being prepared. Consistent scenario training is key. As we fortify our own defense techniques, we also amplify our capacity to shield others. How would you handle this situation? @kamilmocet put in work!

How would you respond? @kamilmocet was 'in public' as a concealed carrier and had to respond to whatever he was presented with in each scenario, within his state's Use of Force Laws, deescalating, avoiding, or leaving when able. He came to work! @argus_artactics @kennyflorian

What's your Frame of Mind when it comes to foundational elements like base and framing? Working draw with a little bit of pressure can be eye opening. Are we training enough to refine and solidify our skill sets? @_artactics @kennyflorian
17
When you refine that base! 😂 Foundational elements often get overlooked, but are pivotal! @_artactics @kennyflorian

One of the big challenges with working facility security is not getting to train regularly as a team. The individual team members may be highly skilled, but not familiar with & used to working with each other. What could they have done differently in this scenario? @_artactics

Working security can be difficult and risky. How is your decision-making under duress? Your leadership and interpersonal skills? Your fitness and training? Come and hone them as an individual or as a team. @_artactics @kennyflorian
