Course Description


LET640 - PPCT Spontaneous Knife Defense - 16.00 Hours

Prerequisites

Required Materials
Eye protection is required and gloves, shin and forearm guards/pads are recommended.

Description

The 16 hour Spontaneous Knife Defense course has been designed to meet the needs of police and correctional officers. The students training will begin with a comprehensive course on offensive knife systems. The focus of this training is to raise the student's awareness to the sophistication of strategies, yet the simplicity which an officer can fall victim to a moderately trained subject with a knife. The second phase of training will focus on the PPCT Knife Defense techniques, based upon a realistic, yet highly aggressive check and stun philosophy. This system has evolved to the simplest form, where all of the skills are gross motor skills that are compatible to the effects of survival stress. This simplicity in design allows for quicker learning and retention under the stress of a knife assault. The course was designed by PPCT Management Systems, Inc., a leader in subject control training systems.
