Two Person Armed Defense with Rob Pincus

This course is meant for the couple, co-workers or friends who are generally both armed and interested in learning about how to coordinate their efforts in a worst case scenario.

This training will draw from law enforcement, military and security team training and be applied to the context of personal defense in the public space as well as being at home or in the workplace. While not a prerequisite, it is suggested that students take a CFS Course from an Active I.C.E. Certified Instructor prior to TPAD to get the most out of it. Topics to be covered:

• Review of Fundamentals of Defensive Shooting
• Communication, Coordination & Cooperation, the Three C's of Teamwork during a Dynamic Critical Incident
• Danger Areas & Fields of Fire
• Dealing with Multiple Threats Efficiently
• Coordinated Strings of Fire
• Shooting in Defense of Others (including children)
• Movement to Cover & Evasion
• Home or Workplace Defense Planning
• Emergency Trauma Medicine Basics
• Immediate Aftermath of a Shooting
• Other topics driven by student questions, context and gear.

Each student will need approximately 450-550 rounds.

NOTE: Students will be paired up with other students to create a 2-person team. Although encouraged you are not required to bring another student. Class price is per individual student so if you are planning on bringing someone you would purchase 2 spots.
