Overall Objective

Reaching a combative state of  "Subconscious Competence"

"This highly interesting lecture will change the way you view and administer high stress training evolutions."

Currently the majority of today's survival based training is geared around one thing, survival!

The problem is not with our objective.  The problem is our methods of approach at achieving that objective.  Many professionals view survival in physical terms.  A Service Member in Fallujah may have lost an arm in a IED blast and physically survived.  A Law Enforcement Officer may have been involved in a shooting and lived after being shot.

An estimated 300,000 military members do not survive every night they close their eyes!  This mentally fatal encounter is better known as PTSD.

Surviving a hostile encounter is simply not good enough.  We must train to physically dominate and mentally cope with the harsh realities of our profession. 

We must reach an entirely new level of combat effectiveness. 

We are taught that human sensation produces memories, emotions, dreams, self knowledge, feelings, logic, creativity, and intelligence this all in turns creates self perception, system of sensors which register environmental changes in and out of the body which then transforms these changes into nervous stimuli.

“If a stimulus is perceived as a threat, a more intense and prolonged discharge of the Locus Ceruleus activates the sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system.” Thase & Howland, 1995
