Adrenaline
Stress self defense
training has been utilized for 30+ years in the private sector. Various
groups
have used scenario based - role-playing and specially designed armor to
induce
fear and the subsequent adrenal response for training students while in
the
adrenal state. The FAST Defense, or Fear
Adrenaline Stress Training Defense teaching method is a combination of
Olympic
Coaching Techniques, Sports Psychology, Group Dynamics, Team Building,
Verbal
Boundary Setting and Martial Arts Techniques. Together, these various
methods
combine to form a teaching methodology that is not only effective but
also
short in duration and highly retainable.
Dealing with the effects of an emotionally, verbally, and
physically
induced adrenal response is the most important factor in successful
defensive
and tactical training. Just a few effects of the adrenaline response to
fear
and stress include increased pain tolerance, pulse and blood pressure
elevation, strength increase and the loss of fine motor control. Tunnel
vision
and auditory exclusion also occur making it difficult to see more than
the
immediate threat or hearing background noises or the voices of others.
Utilizing the FAST Defense teaching
methodology, a series of defensive tactics courses have been designed
specifically to address LE Survival while in the “adrenal rush state”. FAST Defense courses
can be utilized as a final step in a training evolution, for
performance
assessment or as a yearly high intensity refresher course. FAST Defense programs
of instruction provide the opportunity to train personnel with
reality-based
training methods as close to “real-life” as possible without injuries
occurring. FAST Defense is economical,
effective, and highly
retainable. Guaranteed!
Courses
can be custom designed to meet the specific demands and needs of your
Department. For more information contact Bill Kipp, President of FAST Defense at:

FAST
Defense - Legal
Considerations
All of the FAST Defense LE
Survival courses have been designed to follow the Constitutional
Standards of
Deadly Force. It is important to FAST Defense that the
training received in these courses not only prepare an individual for
survival
on the streets but in the courts as well.
Therefore, the majority of training scenarios depicted in these
courses
place the trainee in imminent danger. This follows the 1995 Attorney General
Janet Reno's
Federal Deadly Force Policy. Action is always faster than reaction;
thus the main goal
of these courses and training scenarios is to reduce reaction time
during a
life threatening action.
What makes these FAST
Defense courses unique is the situational teaching
methodology.
Expert instructors agree that reality-based training provides a much
higher
percentage of skill mastery and most importantly, skill retention than that of
traditional classroom lecture and training. Implementation of all
tactics is
through FULL
FORCE Fear Adrenaline Stress Training and Force-On-Force
training
methods.
These training methods provide a means to assess whether an
individual
can transfer the knowledge gained in training to real life. Our
viewpoint is to
assume that this transfer has not
occurred until
the trainee can demonstrate that it has.
Reality-based
scenario training and
subsequent performance assessment are two ways in which to further
strengthen
Use of Force policies by eliminating any "gaps" in an individuals
training, skill retention, or decision making progression.
