What Is Shockwave Defense?
The Shockwave Defense Approach: In short Shockwave Defense is a combative fighting approach with life philosophies. A hybrid defense approach to violent assaults, & mental strengthening for every day life situations. Our deliberate act of combining a powerful mental state, simplistic & direct defensive skills for surviving carjackings, home invasions, attacks with knives, sticks, & guns, have been street and battle tested, by Army Rangers, & every day civilians. I sometimes find it difficult to explain to those unfamiliar with the tactical defense training what Shockwave Defense is. So let us start by telling you what we are & aren't.
What We Are: Shockwave Defense™ is a unique training solution that teaches individuals how to survive threatending situtaions such Car Jackings, Home Invasions, Attacks with Weapons. Shockwave Defense™ trains individuals in the Law Enforcement community, Special Forces & Tactics, as well as civilians (that are able to pass our background check) since 1994. As our company has grown, so has our technology, and resources to provide our students with the top training experience available. There are several aspects that aid a facility in producing top quality students among them are: 1. Superior Tactics 2. Superior Conditioning 3. Superior Trainers 4. Superior Learning Environment.
What We Are Not: Shockwave Defense™ is not a martial art, we don't wear Gi's, we don't do forms, & we don't do katas, although we do respect systems that still follow these traditions. We don't fight in the UFC, although we respect UFC practitioners as world class atheletes we don't feel that, that training environment only covers one aspect of realityt based training. For obvious safety reasons they can't allow weapons usage, or mulitiple opponent scenario exercises. Shockwave Defense's intention is to offer a more completed training program, that is holistic in nature encompassing psychological aspect of defense, as well as a complet physical perspective that offers Hand 2 Hand Training, Knife & Stick Combatives, Firearms Training. We offer training to civilians & genral public "must be able to pass background checks" as well as law enforcement, and military personell.
Self Defense & Combat Realism: Shockwave Defense offers training for law abiding citizens in non traditional hand to hand survivability, tactical firearms usage, concealed carry licenses, as well as knife & stick combatives. The nature of training offered at Shockwave Defense University will expose students to the proper use of firearms, defensive tactics, environmental awareness, leadership, and confidence building.
Superior Tactics:
Defense Tactics can only be considered defense tactics if they work under in real time against real opponents that are uncooperative, and wish to do you harm. Shockwave Defense's™ Superior Tactics include: 1. Tactics that are simple, easy to use, but as complicated as need be. 2. Tactics are often concept based which allows room for training of techniques but reality of opponent resistance. 3. Tactics are exercised in a resistence based environment. To better understand this think of the last time you watched a video of a defense demonstration, notice that the attacker will throw one punch, or kick, and wait for the technique to be completed. In real time is this is not what really happens. An opponent doesn't know he's suppose to lose so he'll keep fighting. Superior Tactics will train you to overcome his resistance and win despite his training.
Superior Conditioning:
Superior Conditioning: The strength in a system is whether or not it works in real time for the majority of the practitioners that learn the system. The flaw in most defense & martial arts systems alike is that they fail to train with the concept of resistance in mind. Their techniques are based primarily on cooperative non-combative opponents, which is never the case. For those who have practiced for many years their reward is the ability to identify the right time to use the right techniques, this is what makes them effective in real time. The Shockwave Defense Approach is unique in its training methodologies offering the reward of years after only a few weeks.
Superior Trainers:
Trainers must carry the with them the remarkable ability to create within their student body a burning desire to want to follow their training, as well as see its effectiveness in real time demonstrated by their training. Shockwave Defense Trainers & Instructors offer this unique asset to every student that studies within its walls.
Superior Learning Environment:
Superior Learning Environment: The Shockwave Defense Academy is equipped with 3,000sq. ft. tactical training arena, 1,500sq.ft. shoot house, and a 2,000sq. ft. weight room, and an additional basic obstacle course.
