RED TEAM/BLUE TEAM EXERCISES

Modern research and studies into the “fight-or-flight syndrome” or “sympathetic response” as it is also called, proves conclusively that when under extreme duress or faced with a life-or-death threat, the subconscious mind triggers a series of reactions in the body that severely inhibits its‟ ability to perform at peak levels.

Shooting paper targets from a static fixed stance or practicing sport karate/jujitsu/judo, etc., does not prepare an individual for the emotional and physiological experiences of a real fight to the death. To best assess and evaluate an operator’s ability to perform effectively under combat conditions we incorporate Red Team-Blue Team scenarios into our skill assessment and grading criteria.

• 50% indoor classroom – consisting of lecture, workbook study, video/PowerPoint and interactive dialogue.
