What You’ll Master — Tactical, Practical, Unmistakable
Train the mechanics, master the tools, control the outcome. This module is built for real people who must perform under pressure — no fluff, pure repetition, and scenario stress-testing so your body and decision-making operate as one.
Body Mechanics — Build a Foundation That Wins
- Pyramid Stance — stance mechanics for stability and explosive movement.
- Wide Base / Deep Base / Low Center — resist pushes, maintain balance, and create leverage.
- Head Over Center / Decentralization — protect your visual and balance axis while transferring force efficiently.
- Power Generation — convert stance + hip drive into controlled stopping power (not just brute force).
Baton Concepts — From Safe Carry to Surgical Application
- Carrying the Baton — secure, compliant, ready.
- Presentation (Drawing the Baton) — fast, lawful, and smooth deployment under stress.
- Baton Grip — maximize leverage, retention, and follow-through.
- Baton Modes — understand Closed vs Open modes and when each dominates.
- Target Areas & Closing the Baton — precise strike selection and finishing mechanics.
Baton Skills — Drill, Chain, and Execute
Closed Mode Strikes
- Weapon Strike — decisive, controlled disabling strikes.
- Reaction Strike — fast responses to emerging threats.
- Straight Strike — efficient lines, repeatable hits.
- Closed Mode Combinations — flow between strikes without losing balance.
Open Mode Strikes
- Weapon Strike — distance-based disabling options.
- Rapid Response Strike — immediate, high-fidelity reactions.
- Reaction Strike — timing under pressure.
- Open Mode Combinations — chains that control movement and create opportunities.
Defensive & Retention — Protect Your Tool, Protect Yourself
- Counter Strike v Blocking — choose offense or structural defense that wins the exchange.
- Weapon Retention — keep the baton (and advantage) when suspect becomes aggressive.
- Weapon Disarming v Weapon Defense — step-by-step options to neutralize weapons while minimizing risk.
Outcomes You’ll Walk Away With
- Move with intent — muscle memory replaces hesitation.
