                                       Defensive Tactics Armed & Unarmed

T.D.T.C. is FIRST and Foremost a Reality-Based Training complex. We are a combat-scenario driven training program but offer a wide variety of Disciplines from the rookie officer needing training or the seasoned officer.

Our first priority is to STOP, CONTROL and NEUTRALIZE the suspect.
Everything we do at T.D.T.C. is based on real world techniques of defensive tactics and personal safety. Training that you can use in your work environment. Our Defensive Tactics & Combatives Disciplines at T.D.T.C. are streetwise and completely reality based.
Our Disciplines are based on successfully integrating numerous methods into one cohesive system. This system has proven very successful in defending oneself against single and multiple attackers, both armed and unarmed. 

"You fight the way you train... and you train the way you fight."

 

                                                                              The Four Weapons of Combat:

                                                                                 The Five Ranges of Combat:
 

                                                            PROJECTILE RANGE - This range of combat utilizes weapons such as pistol, rifle, slingshot,                                                                  bow and arrow. Projectile range includes any weapons that fly through the air. 

​                                                            KICKING RANGE - Almost all altercations start at a distance. We consider this kicking range or                                                                probing. In this range, you can deliver strong, powerful kicks just as in TAE-KWON-DO, MUAY                                                                THAI, SAVATE, PANANJAKMAN ect... In this range, your kicks can go low-line, which means                                                                  kicks to the legs, or high-line, which means rib high or head high. 



BOXING RANGE - In this range, you will use boxing techniques to facilitate close quarter combat
such as JABS, HOOKS ,UPPER CUTS, and CROSSES. You can also use MUAY THAI ELBOW
STRIKES & KNEE STRIKES, as well destruction techniques to the fist and body,
including head butts, which is for critical situation to officer survival.  


TRAPPING RANGE - In this range of combat, you will facilitate J.K.D., HUBUD, and KALI trapping as
well as HEAD BUTTS, MUAY THAI ELBOW STRIKES & KNEE STRIKES to the thigh or ribs. All of
these techniques are very quick and effective. In CLOSE QUARTER COMBAT. which is for critical
situation to officer survival.  


GRAPPLING RANGE - The ground is the last place you want to find yourself in a street fight, because
you compromise mobility and visibility. However, should you end up there, Ground Survival teaches you
how to deal with a ground attack. Remember, "The ground is not your friend." T.D.T.C. will show how to properly strike and kick from the ground as well as use B.J.J. (Brazillian Jui-Jitsu), SAMBO, CHINESE FAST WRESTLING, JUDO, and AIKIDO as well as techniques on how to protect against weapons attacks. (Weapons can be incorporated at all 4 ranges of combat.)

Slicing the Pie

"Pieing" a corner is the term used for a technique used to traverse a corner while clearing a structure or while maneuvering around structures/objects out of doors. In general, there are but a small handful of methods for dealing with corners, rooms, stairwells etc. You can "button hook" directly into the area and deal with whats there. This is typically a "dynamic" tactic where speed of entry and aggressive action is required. Or you can "Slice the Pie" to negotiate the turn, which is a systematic clearing of the area in "slices".
