Tactical Defense Training™ is dedicated to
a single goal: provide the most realistic, reality-based defensive
tactics and officer survival training available anywhere in the world.
To this end we spent years experimenting, testing and researching
the
most practical, intense and realistic techniques,
methods and
tactics ever conceived. We consulted with the best in the field
to determine the specific needs and requirements of both law enforcement
and military personnel and created some of the most innovative
and
cutting edge courses you will find anywhere.
From straightforward officer survival tactics
to cutting edge dynamic tactical team training, TDT is based on street
proven real-world
experience and survival skills. TDT will teach you how to deal
with the worst-case realities of violence in today's hostile world!
"In order to survive the street, law
enforcement officers and trainers must face some stark and often
violent realities. If you do not understand and acknowledge these
realities, they will automatically work against you. TDT is designed
to face these realities head-on. At TDT, reality is our business."

 |
| TDT provides answers
for some of the most common law enforcement problems. |
The Tactical Defense Training™ system
is a street proven, highly sophisticated method of defensive tactics
tailored to the specific
needs of law enforcement.
It was created with the singular purpose
of providing more effective and safer means of dealing with violent
suspects and high-risk situations.
TDT does not utilize tricks or complex maneuvers, but rather scientific
state-of-the-art rapid-learning techniques and concepts designed
to enable the officer to reach a high degree of practical proficiency
within the shortest possible time frame.
Special
Note: Tactical Defense Training™ Shield
Defense System™ has
been formally adopted by AZPOST (Arizona Peace Officers Standards
and Training Board) and is taught at all training academies,
to all agencies and to all sworn officers and defensive tactics
instructors
in the state of Arizona.
Scientific Approach
 |
| TDT techniques have earned a reputation for
being easy to learn and apply. |
TDT training incorporates
highly effective use of physics and body mechanics as they relate
to force-on-force
encounters. Instruction
is designed to convey an understanding of how and why techniques
are done. By conveying concepts first — instead of numerous
unrelated techniques — it is possible for every participant
to gain an extraordinary degree of understanding of the reasons
behind the actions. This not only increases retention, but
also improves
application in real-world environments.
But perhaps the most valuable aspect of Tactical Defense
Training™ is
that it provides answers for some of the most common law enforcement
problems, such as how to take a violent suspect into custody
once you have drawn your weapon, or how to survive a sudden death
assault
at close range. Techniques range from subduing the unarmed
resistant suspect to surviving the murderous attack by an assailant
with a
weapon, with the emphasis on utilizing the lowest level of
force needed to neutralize and contain the situation.
TDT represents a new approach to an age-old
problem, finding techniques that work in the real-world while
adhering to the
use-of-force
policies required by law. Tactical Defense Training™ is
on the cutting edge of law enforcement technology. TDT
can provide your instructors,
team or agency with the training needed for mental, physical
and legal survival in today's challenging law enforcement
environment.
TDT techniques have earned a reputation for not only being
easy to learn and apply – but also extremely effective
in the street...where it really counts!
