This understanding must be accompanied by a highly polished skill set allowing the student to execute the appropriate response. Learning through doing is the only well recognized technique for teaching these skills. All skills will be explained and demonstrated by the instructors and then performed by the student under careful observation. Each drill should build on the previous one. Techniques learned should be studied in relation to the tactical principals that they will support.
All drills demonstrate the appropriate blend of accuracy, speed and power.
Both administrative and tactical weapons handling should be taught with an eye towards crispness, efficiency and economy of motion. These exercises are video taped for analysis. This is an extremely valuable training aid allowing each student to streamline his or her technique. This ensures that each student can progress at their own pace. The student will practice the basic building blocks of each technique and then combine and apply these techniques against live adversaries.
